Future Of Salary Caps In League Of Legends Esports
According to sources close to the BLIX'S editorial team, the LCK is set to imple
ment a Salary Cap in the near future. Although the exact timing of the implement
ation cannot be confirmed, all indications point towards its full enforcement in
the LCK as early as 2024. Regardless, a Salary Cap will, without a doubt, be im
plemented in the LCK.
根據情報指出，各個跡象指明LCK最快將在明年引進工資帽
Similar salary regulations have been previously applied in other leagues, such a
s the LPL and its previously reported Salary Cap. This model is currently being
studied, and many similar measures are expected to be applied in the LCK.
LPL也已經實施工資帽制度
LCK會去參考
One of the rules currently under consideration is a provision that is similar to
the Franchise Tag system in other sports. It would force players to renew their
contracts if their team increases their salary by 25%. In such a scenario, play
ers cannot decline their team's proposal and must continue competing with them f
or an additional year.
其中一項目前正在討論的規則是
如果母隊給出的合約加薪幅度超過25%的話
那選手不能拒絕這合約
It should be noted that this rule is only a proposition that was previously disc
ussed and may not be ultimately implemented.
但這只是之前討論過的提議
不一定會真的放入最終規則內
Attempts were made to apply this salary cap in Korea before. In 2021, rumors eme
rged regarding the implementation of a salary cap in 2022, but the proposal did
not move forward. According to a past report by Upcomer, T1 stood as the "strong
est opposing voice" to the proposed new rule.
2021曾傳說LCK打算引進工資帽
但最終並沒有付諸實現（T1強力反對）
However, as of 2023, the rule has reportedly been approved, and progress is bein
g made.
但到了2023年，各隊都接受了工資帽
Something that BLIX.GG's sources can also confirm is that a significant number o
f high-level Korean players are starting to explore opportunities in the West or
seek representation from agents in the West.
情報也指出，多位LCK頂級選手開始會去考慮西方戰隊的報價了
Currently, the most significant case is what is happening with the European Regi
onal Leagues (ERLs). Although nothing has been decided yet, discussions are ongo
ing to explore the possibility of implementing a rule to set a maximum operation
al cost for esports organizations in some ERLs.
This option is being considered in various leagues, such as the LVP (Spanish lea
gue) and the LFL (French league), due to the shared concern about the current st
ate of esports. In addition to imposing a maximum operational cost per club, var
ious options are being studied to hopefully improve the economic situation, incl
uding format changes in the ERL.
此外歐洲地區聯賽也在討論要設支出上限了
