LOL Oil Cup prize money announced, a total of $60 million! Faker became the protagonist, and LPL ushered in bad news

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

In addition to the MSI and S series held by Riot, there is also a new event for this year's LOL esports project, which is the upcoming Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia, which has distinctive features and is specially prepared for esports fans.

As a non-official Riot event, the Saudi Cup is characterized by its generous prize money.

LOL Oil Cup prize money of $60 million

Recently, the Saudi Arabian E-sports World Cup, which is often referred to as the Oil Cup, announced the number of prize money for this event, a total of 60 million US dollars, this data also surprised the audience, take the official Riot event as an example, the prize money for winning the S World Championship is not high, and the prize money of the world champion in recent years is only hundreds of thousands of US dollars.

The prize money of the Oil Cup has directly reached the level of tens of millions, and many viewers here have raised questions, that is, how will the total prize money of 60 million be evenly distributed to each project, and how many e-sports projects will there be in this World Cup?

By querying the relevant information, we got the answer, the oil cup has a total of 19 games, 20 items, and the official news shows that the bulk of the prize money is not in the championship of each project, but in the championship club, the official will divide the prize money into two parts, of which the prize pool of the game championship is 33 million.

Then the qualifier prize money is 7 million, and finally the championship club bonus, which means that after more than 20 events, the club with the best results will get this bonus.

Faker becomes the protagonist, and LPL has bad news

If that's the case, if the prize money of more than 30 million is evenly distributed, the prize money for each project may be very low, and even the LOL project may not be as high as the S competition, because the total prize pool is also at the level of one or two million, but from another point of view, if it is the same as the prize money of the S competition, it is also worth the player's hard work.

After all, there are so many bonuses in the S game, and if you can win the Oil Cup, rounding off is equivalent to taking an S game.

Another point is that e-sports is also divided into large and small projects, there are individual events and team events, the bonuses for different projects should be different, LOL projects should be more, and you can see the official announcement when the time comes.

And then there's the content about the championship club, there aren't many clubs that can participate in multiple esports events right now, which is bad news for LPL, because the top clubs in the LPL, BLG, TES don't have that much involvement in other esports sports, and the results are not so good.

Faker will definitely be the absolute protagonist of this Oil Cup, and Faker and T1 were directly invited before the playoffs even before the Oil Cup, but it is difficult for T1 to get the prize money of the best club.

To participate in the Petroleum Cup, you may be able to sign a temporary contract

Personally, I think that the prize money of the oil cup in the championship club is obviously a bit too much, and the clubs participating in the oil cup may consider signing players temporarily, such as players in the single event, to sign up to improve their performance in the oil cup, but I don't know if it will work.

Then another key point is that this oil cup is essentially an invitational tournament, inviting clubs from various countries to play, if each country has a limited number of places, depending on the proportion of different e-sports sports.

For example, the two projects of Dota 2 and League of Legends, whether the Oil Cup invites Dota 2 with good results, or invites LOL with good results, if the last invited club is not the top of the LOL project, then the gold content of this competition in the LOL project will be greatly reduced.

The audience hopes that different clubs can be invited for different sports, but although the Oil Cup is rich, it may not be so large to accommodate so many teams and players. On the whole, after all, this e-sports World Cup is being held for the first time, and it is estimated that there will be many unreasonable places, and the gold content may not be as high as imagined.
