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.
根据情报指出，各个迹象指明LCK最快将在明年引进工资帽
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也已经实施工资帽制度
LCK会去参考
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.
其中一项目前正在讨论的规则是
如果母队给出的合约加薪幅度超过25%的话
那选手不能拒绝这合约
It should be noted that this rule is only a proposition that was previously disc
ussed and may not be ultimately implemented.
但这只是之前讨论过的提议
不一定会真的放入最终规则内
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.

但最终并没有付诸实现（T1强力反对）
However, as of 2023, the rule has reportedly been approved, and progress is bein
g made.
但到了2023年，各队都接受了工资帽
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.
情报也指出，多位LCK顶级选手开始会去考虑西方战队的报价了
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.
此外欧洲地区联赛也在讨论要设支出上限了
