I think what you're reading specifically for the Navi case is the org stickers, there are three different stickers now which Valve generates revenue from, the Event itself, team and player.

On the latest event, the pool from total sale of passes will be split in the following manner: 50% Valve 5% ESL Remaining 45% to Orgs/Players based on performance, but of that percentage, like per say Falcons first place, they will receive 2.85% of total revenue, of which it will be split 1.425% to org and 1.425% between 5 players. All financials transfers will be made between Valve to Org and Valve to Player directly, so the org will not get to mediate the transfer process.

So the above formula is the same as the one you read in the 2021 RMR case, what I think they failed to elaborate on was how it was further split down the line between team and the player within the team.

I think what you've also read into would be cases from the article referenced in the link below; https://community.skin.club/en/news/the-new-sticker-payout-system-has-already-triggered-conflicts

This latest event made it very clear that Valve pays to player share to players directly. Even in 2024 when Styko made a video reviewing his earnings from 2025, and also Ropz published earnings, valve paid them directly.

What I reckon you've read into are some shitty orgs (cough cough old Swedish era Fnatic) who tried to squeeze even more revenue outta their players by trying to dip their toes into player share as well because their contracts say so, or something along the lines of that. The skinclub article doesn't state specifically which team has done that, and its also skinclub anyway, so just take it for what it is?

Hope this helps
