As a foreigner, I find it difficult to grasp how popular the LPL really is in China, so I did my own little fun experiment during my trip in China of wearing LPL jerseys and see if they would be recognized.
The result was very fun, many Chinese people would regularly point towards my jerseys. Some would even ask for pictures.
The IG fan from the picture on the right was shocked when he saw me in Chongqing, probably wondering why some random white dude was wearing a jersey from his favorite team. He told me me that no matter how much they lose, he is always cheering for IG.
Overall Esports and League Of Legends felt popular in China, I regularly saw spaces or merch dedicated to either, especially in big cities.
Esports probably feels more present in South-Korea and France, but China is up there. However, given how big the country is, it doesn't surprise me that they're probably the most lucrative market for Riot Games.
I'm aware this is very anecdotal, but I had a lot of fun meeting LPL fans. However I hope we can get reliable numbers about Chinese viewership someday in order to have a real comparison

Before contributing to this article I did not know that a salary floor existed in the LEC
Now at β¬825K, teams who spend less than that amount on their five starting players do not benefit from the revenue sharing from the luxury tax
but the luxury tax pool only exists if teams exceed the salary cap, so it might be irrelevant right now, but it could become relevant in the future depending on how offseason goes
if no teams exceed the salary cap, then the floor is useless / doesn't matter
[BREAKING] The #LEC lowers the SFR threshold from β¬2M to β¬1.65M for 2027.
The combined salaries of a team's five highest-paid players cannot exceed β¬1.65M.

The #LEC Top 4 throughout 2026:
Just G2 dominance. Compared to last year, we also have a clear Top 3, rather than a clear Top 4.

Please stop bringing up KCB's 12th place during LEC versus as example of why ERL teams can't beat LEC teams
KCB had literally changed 4 players in their roster from 2025, with rookies, and are not a top ERL team this year.
Solary 2-0'd Fnatic, and Galions did the same to Heretics/SK, with the rosters that earned them those matches, so the data is a lot more reliable there.
