Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

In League of Legends, Brieu “LEC Wooloo” Seeger is considered a reliable source for transferring players between teams. He has now explained on Twitter which role in LoL pays the most. According to him, midlane players made the most money in the US, Europe and South Korea.

Who is the expert?

  • The Belgian made his mark by using Twitter to reliably predict who would move from one team to another in the LoL off-season. Actually, players and teams are only allowed to officially announce this after a certain date, but in reality it is often clear weeks in advance who is moving where.
  • LEC Wooloo is now the unofficial transfer ticker that fans and professionals look at. A few years ago, e-sports journalist Jacob Wolf held this position: Wolf had worked for e-sports site ESPN in the meantime, but covering LoL as e-sports did not pay off commercially and he was fired.
  • As a result, the Belgian is now the go-to expert on everything there is to know about transfers to LoL.

    What role is the highest paid in LoL? The expert says he evaluated sources:

    “The information from my sources shows that most of the time (but not always!) the mid lane is the best paying position on an LEC team.

    Additionally: The highest salaries that I know for 2022 go to midlaners in the LCS and the LCK.”

    So he’s basically saying here that the mid lane is the most lucrative position in South Korea, Europe and North America.

    Midlaners shine the most, hence have the most hype

    Why is that? LEC Wooloo says it’s because midlaners have the highest “promotional value”: The position is in the middle of the map and it’s also a carry role, which brings with it the opportunity to create in-game highlights and thus generate more hype generate.

    Is that traditional? Yes, that also coincides with many other stories. Traditionally, the mid laner is the “star of the show.” Heroes such as assassins or magicians are played there, who can use skill combinations to get kills in the shortest possible time.

    While an ADC carry is actually quiet for half the game and only fully blossoms in the endgame, a midlaner can already shine in early stages.

    Midlaners are also the players who get the most highlight reels on YouTube and regularly win popularity contests:

  • In the US, Bjergsen has long been the most popular player
  • In Europe “Caps” and “Perkz” are probably the most popular players, both are mid laners which caused problems when trying to play in a team
  • Faker is certainly number 1 in South Korea and worldwide.

    • These stars have one thing in common: they are all mid laners.

    Even if midlaners are the stars – every role has already been MVP in the finals

    However, then the mix of who really plays the prominent role in a team is much broader. In the last 6 World Championships, the MVP has been awarded to 4 different roles:

  • In 2017, Ruler, a botlaner, won
  • In 2018, Ning, a jungler, won
  • In 2018 it was Tian, ​​a jungler again
  • 2020 took Canyon, the third jungler in a row
  • In 2021, a surprised Scout, a mid laner, won
  • In 2022, Kingen took the MVP title, even a top laner

    • The last supporter who won an MVP title was a long time ago: That was the legendary Mata in 2014:
