Riot will make a formal announcement at the conclusion of its review process in September. “In 2021, we plan to implement the Long-term partnership model in LCK to create an environment where fans, players, and teams can form a long-term relationship. With this change, we plan to strengthen LCK’s competency and ultimately create a more satisfying experience for all participants of the league,” the statement read.
Riot is also introducing a minimum player salary equivalent to $49,000 and said on its new website that outlined partners would be in line for a revenue share of sponsorships and media deals.
