How difficult is the LOL team, another team made public financial reports, losing as much as 3.7 billion a year
Recently, e-sports is a topic of discussion for many people, the summer tournament in our division has begun, and the major teams want to get good results this season, after all, our division is already the first division, as long as you can win the championship in the division, then there is not much problem in the world competition, so everyone is working hard.
We have also seen that many teams have recruited many top players in this year's transfer period in order to get good results, but there are also some players who have not made major changes to the lineup, and even some teams have directly put it down, such as RNG is the focus of everyone's complaints, and they have a difficult new season.
Because of the serious financial problem, the RNG team has given up the next duo during the transfer period, and the middle single directly let the newcomers start, the CEO said that it was because of the shortage of funds, so it can only be so, he himself also admitted that such a lineup lacks the ability to impact the world competition, and the CEO directly expressed his intention to introduce capital.
Because it is too difficult for teams to make money, the introduction of capital may be the best choice, because the capital is sufficient, they can use a long time to try, even if it is a loss, many people may see here may say, now the popularity of e-sports is so high, will the major teams really lose? The answer is yes.
To say how difficult the LOL team is, recently there is a team that has released financial reports, a loss of up to 3.7 billion a year, it is really terrifying, this team is LCK's NS team, recently they announced their financial reports, you can see that in 2022, NS invested a total of about 3.727 billion won (20 million RMB), but the income was only 36 million won (about 200,000 RMB), a loss of 3.692 billion won, nearly 3.7 billion won.
The ratio of input and income is only 10:1, which is indeed too exaggerated, in fact, our division is no better, I have not heard of which team can be profitable, the reason why there is no big problem, the main thing is that the major teams have capital support behind them, so even if there is a loss, do not worry, the main thing is long-term development.
In fact, this topic is already a cliché topic, the main thing is that it is difficult for the team to make a profit, mainly sponsors, endorsements, competition bonuses, player live broadcasts, and other basically no income, and the top selector does not move a year's salary is tens of millions of levels, relying on these profit points alone is really difficult ah, do you have anything to say about this?
