The purpose of this franchise concept is considered to be to overcome many of the problems faced by participants in the previous season, such as regulatory uncertainty which led to a lack of standardization of contracts between teams and players.

“However, with the team’s permanent status, it is possible to implement standards that protect all parties involved,” said Dylan in Jakarta, Tuesday (23/07/2021)

The MPL-ID franchise model assigns a permanent slot in the league to each team. With a franchise fee of USD $ 1 million or IDR 13.9 billion for one payment, the participating teams and players will get various benefits.

“Because the model is a franchise, we will share more than 50% of the revenue to the entire team,” added Dylan.

In addition, for professional players there will be a contract that is valid for 6 months for each season, and a minimum salary. Unfortunately, Dylan refused to mention the nominal salary. “There will be a minimum salary and a contract that is valid for 6 months,” said Dylan.

MPL-ID Season 4 will be joined by the defending champion season 3, Onic E-sports along with seven other participants, namely Alter Ego, Aura, Bigetron E-sports, Evos, Geek Fam, Genflix Aerowolf and Rex Regum Qeon.
