Data / Set

Four top-tier creators — Phantom, Ghost, Spectre and Wraith — split a

50

-hour esports subathon across four titles: Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends and CS2. The ledger below records hours played. Several cells were lost; each blank is an unknown, and the printed row and column totals are exact.

Streamer	Valorant	Fortnite	Apex Legends	CS2	Total Hours
Phantom	?	$2$	?	$1$	$12$
Ghost	$3$	?	$2$	?	$12$
Spectre	?	$5$	?	$2$	$11$
Wraith	$4$	?	$5$	?	$15$
Total	$13$	$12$	$14$	$11$	$50$

Three further facts are known: 1. The Grindset: every creator played every title for at least

1

full hour — all blanks are integers

\ge 1

. 2. The Preference: Ghost spent strictly more hours on Fortnite than on CS2. 3. The Algorithm: the product of Phantom's Apex Legends hours and Spectre's Valorant hours equals Ghost's Fortnite hours.

To monetize their streams, the platform assigns a "Clout Multiplier" to each game. Every hour of Valorant yields

2

viewership points, Fortnite yields

3

points, Apex Legends yields

1.5

points, and CS2 yields

2.5

points. If a single viewership point translates to a

1{,}000$ payout from sponsors, what is the absolute difference in the final bag secured between the highest-earning and lowest-earning streamers in this lobby?
