Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.

At the S14 World Finals, Faker once again led T1 to win the championship and defend the title, ushering in another peak of his career, creating a new dynasty, and refreshing countless people's perception of the game League of Legends.

And the T1 team has also made a lot of money around the world, and its popularity has risen, becoming a real number one.

LCK transfer truth, Faker clause makes a big contribution

After T1 won the championship, a topic that many viewers were discussing was the salary cap clause of the LCK, which is common in many sports clubs, in order to limit clubs with too high or too low assets, so that they can have a baseline when forming a team, which is conducive to the subsequent development and operation of the league.

If a team wants to form the best team, the salary of the players often has to exceed the salary cap, and at this time, the salary cap requires the club to pay a high luxury tax to maintain its allocation.

T1 teams are clearly at the top of the world in every position, so it will be difficult for T1 to maintain such a configuration, especially since Faker has the highest salary in the entire league and has even become a shareholder of the T1 club, which can easily exceed the salary cap when added to the salary.

Last year, the LCK introduced a new salary cap clause, also known as the "Faker Clause" by viewers, one of which is that if a player wins three World Championships or five league championships, only 50% of the salary goes to the salary cap.

T1 is the darling of the league, and it is impossible for players to leave the team

Then there are two more salary cap clauses, the first is that if a player has been with a team for more than three years, 70% of his salary goes to the salary cap, while if a player qualifies for more than three years and three World Championships/five League Championships, then only 35% of his salary goes to the salary cap.

Faker met this condition before, and only Faker can meet this condition, so many viewers say that this clause is to give T1 the green light, and other players in T1 have also met the requirements for more than three years before, and won the championship this year, but I don't know if other players in T1 meet the conditions for winning the World Championship three times, and before winning the World Championship three times, it was said that it was MSI or S competition.

T1 also won the Esports World Cup this year, I don't know if it fits.

In short, T1 players don't actually have to pay much luxury tax when they are all paid the highest salary, and other teams don't seem to have to think about approaching T1 players to try to sign a contract, because it is almost impossible for T1 to not be able to give players worse treatment than other teams under the preferential treatment of this salary cap clause.

T1 against the whole world, three years of huge gains

Such T1 seems to have become a big boss level team in League of Legends, and I personally think that with T1's performance in recent years, they already have the ability to fight against the world, and they have done just that, entering the finals of the S Tournament three times in a row in three years, winning twice and finishing runner-up.

When T1 in the S12 season was the runner-up, almost everyone thought that this team had no window to win the championship, and they could still make a comeback to win the championship, and they had to admit that this team had strong resilience, heritage and hard power.

In the past three years, T1 has made huge profits, and the audience is watching them become more and more popular year by year, maybe two years ago, T1 did not have such a high global influence as it is now, but now T1 has already become the number one giant of League of Legends.

Previously, we all said that League of Legends was a competition between China and South Korea, but now we can say that T1 can single-handedly fight against all the teams in the entire LCK and LPL, which is unique in the entire history of esports.

In fact, the biggest attraction of League of Legends next year is not the regional competition, but whether all teams in other regions, including the LCK, can prevent T1 from continuing their legendary path.
