Rumor: LGD Gaming May Leave LPL

The former owner of the esports club QG Reapers reported on his Weibo that LGD Gaming has sold their slot in one of the most popular leagues in the League of Legneds, LoL Professional League. The sale price, he said, was $ 22,000,000. Representatives of LGD Gaming have not yet commented on this information.

According to the owner of QG Reapers, LGD Gaming is not the only team looking to leave the LPL. Royal Never Give Up can come to the same result. The latter have not yet sold their slot, but are already in an active search for a promising buyer who can buy his place in the LPL from RNG for $ 94,000,000. Financial difficulties and debt obligations were named as the reason for the sale of the Royal Never Give Up slot. RNGs are rumored to have over $ 47,000,000 in debt. Royal Never Give Up management has so far refrained from commenting on such rumors.

The LPL 2022 Spring Split is set to begin in January. 17 teams will still take part in it, which will compete for a large prize fund. Riot Games has not yet announced how much funds will be distributed among the participants and did not talk about the details of the distribution of the fund.

Riot Games, according to insiders, began negotiations with the leadership of the International Olympic Committee. League of Legends developers want to get their game included in the list of disciplines. It is too early to speculate about whether their negotiations will be successful, since the companies have just entered these negotiations.

Returning to the topic with LGD Gaming, it is not known what will happen to the players if they leave the league. Most likely, the management will radically change the composition.
