report from George Geddes<\/a>, the minimum salary for players in the Americas league is around $50,000 per year, and these figures will be similar in the other EMEA and APAC regions. “The details between the 3 regions are very similar and the changes between them will be small in the formation of this system,” sources told BLIX.GG on Wednesday.<\/p>\n‘\u00a2 The EMEA base location is still to be determined, but the two candidate locations for hosting the competition are Berlin and Barcelona. The American league location is expected to be Los Angeles and the APAC location is expected to be Seoul. We will bring more details soon when a place is defined in EMEA.<\/p>\n
‘\u00a2 The 0$ cost of entry to this partnership program made many organizations apply or are in the process of doing so, according to sources close to the choice of organizations, there are many requirements to take into account, but it is expected to prioritize the entry of organizations with big names and huge fanbases, the money they have will not be a major factor in their election. In addition, they plan to include all the communities that fall within each region, although some of them may be complicated by situations beyond Riot Games’ control.<\/p>\n
‘\u00a2 In EMEA, the teams that do not manage to enter will have the possibility to compete in the European Regional Leagues, and a system similar to that of League of Legends will be implemented, where the best of each regional league will compete against each other in a tournament at the end of the Split. This tournament is expected to be announced soon, as the winners of the top 8 ERLs of this same Split will compete. BLIX.GG does not know the exact dates of this tournament but it is expected to take place in late July or early August of this year.<\/p>\n
G2 Esports aiming for NA <\/h2>\n
According to a Tweet from neL, G2 Esports would have applied in both the NA and EMEA regions, prioritizing the NA option in case they could get in. <\/p>\n
In the past G2 Esports tried to enter the LCS when the League of Legends franchise system emerged, but it didn’t happen by choice of Riot Games, sources told BLIX.GG on Wednesday. So G2’s place may not be assured in NA, at the moment nothing has been decided.<\/p>\n
