(Motherland) - Even the players with the lowest salaries can surprise the audience.
In the realm of League of Legends (LoL) and most professions, salary issues are always highly sensitive. Particularly in Esports, contract values are rarely disclosed, and the transfer fees of players are usually not revealed. These secrets are of great interest to audiences, but even professionals in the field sometimes do not fully understand all the negotiation processes.
Recently, former Jungle player Xiaopeng from Top Esports shared insights into the salaries of LPL and LDL players - the top two LoL tournaments in the country. According to Xiaopeng, the lowest salary a player in LDL receives is around 873.62 USD (approximately over 20 million VND). Meanwhile, a player receiving the lowest salary in LPL can be three times that figure, around 2,912 USD (equivalent to nearly 70 million VND). Xiaopeng also mentioned that despite frequently being on the substitute bench, young player Qingtian still receives this salary.
However, Xiaopeng mentioned that this is only the minimum salary that many players in LDL and LPL are currently receiving. To earn higher salaries, reaching hundreds of millions or even billions of VND, players must have achievements, both professionally and reputation-wise within the community.
Perhaps everyone knows, Uzi (one of the legends of LPL) receives an extremely high salary at Royal Never Give Up. Additionally, Uzi receives many other benefits due to the reputation he has built.
Moreover, at present, LPL is tightening regulations on salary caps, compelling teams to implement wiser transfer policies. Simultaneously, the excessive gap between a top superstar and other teammates will somewhat shorten. However, whether this policy is truly effective may require accurate evaluation from the audience themselves. Because, 'galactic' lineups still emerge and numerous teams are still aggressively purchasing titles, even in this year's LPL Spring Split.
