(Thethaovanhoa.vn) - GimGoon unexpectedly shares the story of still not having his rights resolved after winning Worlds 2019.
One of the most concerning factors in the LMHT community is the tournament system. Currently, LMHT only has 2 international tournaments, MSI and Worlds. Moreover, domestic tournaments are confined to regional divisions.
However, for professional players, especially those who have triumphed at Worlds, they have additional earnings from salaries, livestreams, and notably, profits from trading Worlds skins. It's common knowledge that for each Worlds champion team, Riot always releases commemorative skins designed based on players' suggestions. The most recent Worlds champion is DRX in 2022.
Recently, GimGoon - former Top Laner of FunPlus Phoenix - revealed that up to this point, he still hasn't received any profits from the sale of FPX's 2019 Worlds skins. GimGoon believes this is not FPX's responsibility but Riot's. Notably, following GimGoon's livestream disclosure, FPX's CEO affirmed they would verify the information and provide maximum support to GimGoon in claiming his rightful benefits.
However, some opinions suggest that the actual profits from the FPX 2019 skin line might not be significant. It's widely known that the FPX 2019 skins are often regarded as some of the worst Worlds skins. The reason may be attributed to design influences during the pandemic situation at that time (skins designed in 2020).
Furthermore, there are numerous opinions suggesting that it's FPX, not Riot, who is holding GimGoon's money. However, neither FPX nor Riot have made any statements regarding the allegations from the former FPX star or the LPL audience about this matter.
