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.
