League of Legends, unlike traditional sports, does not have a salary cap. This refers to the maximum amount that a team is legally allowed to offer to one or several players. With this it is sought that the payments are not inflated, the teams do not waste money, the competitive integrity, among other things are maintained. But a good part of the competitors do not agree that they are established in all - or only some regional leagues.
In lck are already being carried out talks to establish a salaries limit, but things are not unanimous. According to a Nick Ray report for Upcomer, a source close to t1 spoke about that several teams are asking that this system be applied in 2022. However, the world s multicampeone squad is one of the opposition voices more Strong in negotiation.
Let s quickly put the context. Inven Global conducted a survey in 2019 with 82 players from the LCK, revealing that salaries were not exactly attractive. Mostly if we compare them with other large regions, specifically with Europe and China. Before the implementation of the franchise model, specifically in 2018, it was earned an average of 170 million Korean wons. These are approximately € 125,577 EUR. The bad news is that there was also a good percentage of players who earned less than € 80,000 EUR. It is worth mentioning that, outside the report of Global Inven, the salaries in LCK are not usually spoken publicly.
Now, about the possible salary salary cut, we do not have an approximate number. Outside the case of T1, there was no more information about whether the rest of the organizations agreed or was in a 50-50.
South Korea and China are the most recent cases in the adoption of this system. In the house of LPL, Win reported that there were conversations of a possible top of 10 million Chinese yuan, equivalent to 1.3 million euros current. But there is still no communication about when it will come into force.
