LPL has always been a place where professional League of Legends has been heavily invested, so the financial situation of this area is somewhat curiously interested by the LoL community.
Doinb recently continued his “industry” stories when publicly talking about some of the financial news of the teams participating in the LPL Spring 2023. Although the LPL’s new salary cap law has already passed. making this market more or less bleak, but still undeniably the wealth and willingness to spend of LOL teams in this region.
No longer playing professionally, but Doinb’s network is still enough for him to “pick up” all sorts of things in the industry
Everyone knows that the team that wants to have money needs to have good results, but according to Doinb’s share, FPX can be considered an exception. “FPX was at the bottom of the rankings, but because they sold Hang to LNG and used that money to buy players, they still made money in the end.”
With a poor performance, FPX is lucky to have money thanks to a profitable transfer
Meanwhile, to talk about the top teams, Doinb shared: “iG is the team with the least investment but has the best results, JDG and EDG are the best teams for players, WE also sold get a lot of players and they actually make a lot of money.”
IG with a young squad made a splash during the first part of the season when they brought new names such as YSKM – “Little TheShy”. However, IG still faces the same problem as many other youth teams, which is stability. EDG or JDG do this much better. They invested in a super squad and also devoted themselves to taking care of their billion-dollar players, bringing very positive results.

Besides the rumors about the team’s finances, when asked about the terms of the contract Doinb also answered very naturally because he is also a person who has “rolled” in the LPL market. “If the team unilaterally terminates the player’s contract, they will lose money, usually around three months’ salary.”
It can be seen that the LPL is clearly decentralizing teams that are both strong and have great potential, they will continue to grow stronger like JDG or EDG. Although there are also cases of “little money but still smell good” like IG, but it is very rare in this “billion-dollar” market.
