hey guys im fairly new to esea and the payments and everything, this is my first season of esea and im starting to play open. I was wondering what kind of payments i would have to make to backup for a team, and what kind of payments i would have to make to make to start for a team as i am finding it somewhat unclear.
same payment. go to esea and look at paying for premium. its so much a month and you pay to get into the open division with a one time fee for that season.

Just to clarify LazyPanda's post a bit:
ESEA's model has two payments: there is ESEA premium, a site-wide, monthly payment of around $7 that is made to be able to use "premium features", such as joining ESEA servers, posting in forums, and other things.
The second payment is a one-time entry fee to play in whatever division for whatever game you want, so you could pay $5 to play on an open team in TF2 and another $5 to play on an open team in CS:GO, but still just the one payment from above.
As a backup, typically players won't pay until they are needed. Most backups will pay the entry fee early on in the season to be ready at a moment's notice, but delay the premium fee so they aren't paying for months they don't play in.
tl;dr one time entry fee for the league, recurring payment to play on the servers.
