We’ve seen the most interesting news about mobile esports in recent weeks, and it looks like this is going to be the year of the definitive boom for these championships.
Another “clue” was found in China. let’s take a look at the new League of Legends: Wild Rift League (WRL)basically a contest for the mobile version of Riot’s MOBA It will have a better prize pool than LPL, The country’s leading esports league.
Specifically, the WRL will have a prize pool. $787,000 that’s more than $661,000 that will be distributed by the LPL Spring Split, one of the largest esports franchise leagues in the world.
As strange as it may seem, the truth is that it’s a good idea for Tencent and Riot to give Wild Rift a bigger prize pool because it’s a new competition for 12 teams to participate in, and that price will be their maximum incentive. While the concessions of the LPL are already well established with sponsors, the transfer market and other sources of funding.
