lck summer season just ended, hle won the lck summer season championship and became the no. 1 seed of lck division, gen became the no. 2 seed after finishing second. dk and t1 also successfully emerged from the bubble match and got the no. 3 and no. 4 seeds.

just recently, korean media revealed the investment ranking of lck teams this year: hle, t1>gen>dk>kt

according to relevant sources, hle and t1 are far ahead with roster investments of more than 10 billion won, followed by gen with an investment of between 7 and 8 billion won, dk with about 6 billion, and kt with an investment of around 3 billion won.

in contrast, the total investment in bro's players and coaches is only 1 billion won. especially kt's investment strategy. although kt, as a large korean company, claims to increase investment in the e-sports field, its actual performance is relatively negative, which makes people question its true concern for e-sports. if kt continues to lack the willingness to invest, selling its e-sports team to interested companies may be a more rational choice.
