Largest per year deal in esports history:

$45M Per Year

Will be interesting to see how this affects the future of esports. OWL is also doing regional franchises which could be a sign of things to come.

Other (bigger) games will probably start striking similar deals now that the market is set.

Steam will probably stay hands-off, but Riot and some of the other big companies will probably sign deals relatively soon.

Little side fact, their senior concept Artist Paul Kwon makes a side living off of drawing hentai and fan art.

Riot signed their deal in 2016, with BAMTech.

7 years 300 million.

I thought I saw somewhere where League was considering city-based teams similar to OWL.

I forgot about that one. It is a bit of an odd duck though since the games will still be simulcast on basically every other platform.
