During these days, although the World Championship (Worlds) 2022 still has two rounds to go before it ends, many transfer news have been released and attracted the attention of the League of Legends (LoL) community. However, most of this information is one-sided, and the involved parties have yet to make any announcements or statements regarding the matter.
Alongside transfer news, the salary issues of some LPL players have also been mentioned in recent rumors. A few days ago, many LPL fans learned that Weibo Gaming (WBG) had extended its contract with Angel. But what is noteworthy is that the information indicates Angel earns a higher salary than Knight – the Mid Lane player considered the best in the LPL right now. Not to mention, Angel has never been regarded as an outstanding player for WBG or in the entire LPL region.
Recently, some information about player salaries continued to be released, leaving LPL fans even more stunned. Specifically, this information divided the list of the 5 highest-paid players in the LPL by position. Notably, SofM and Tarzan are the two highest-paid players in the Jungle position. TheShy dominates the Top Lane as the highest-paid player in that role. In the Mid Lane, the name mentioned is Doinb, while the duo in the Bottom Lane with the highest salaries in the LPL are JackeyLove and Crisp.
However, according to the disclosed information, TheShy is the highest-paid player in WBG, and although both appear on the list, the salary of the 2018 World Champion is quite different from that of SofM. Many fans also commented that this list is not too surprising if based on the skill level and reputation of each player. However, the Jungle position brings some surprises because in the LPL, SofM and Tarzan do not have as many fans as Karsa.
Another factor is that WBG has two names among the highest-paid players in the LPL right now. Although the team’s performance has not shown signs of improvement, according to fans, WBG still attracts strong sponsorship. Therefore, until now, WBG can still be considered stable, and when the new season starts, this team will be a formidable force in the LPL region.
