Game Daily News On March 15th, John Needham, president of fist game e-sports business, announced that he would adjust the e-sports strategy of League of Legends and implement a new cooperation model in professional leagues of LCK (Korea), LCS (Europe) and LEC (North America). The reason is that the past strategy still can’t guarantee the stable ecological development of the e-sports team.
Under the new model, the teams of LCK, LCS and LEC will receive a fixed allowance, and at the same time, they will also get a share of the revenue from the sales of game assets in League of Legends e-sports.
In addition, the fist game will create a new global income pool, which will be divided into three parts for distribution, 50% will be distributed to more professional teams of League of Legends, 35% will be used as prizes for competition areas and international competitions, and 15% will be distributed to teams according to the operation of fans.
It is also worth noting that LPL (China) has not been included in this reform.
