Liiv Sandbox rebranded its esports team FearX heading into the 2024 season,[1] in which became BNK FearX on 23 May in time for the Summer Split
In response to financial challenges faced by LCK organizations, such as Gen.G's CEO Arnold Hur revealing that his team had "never turned a profit" despite leading in sponsorship revenue, the LCK implemented a hard salary cap for starting rosters and a luxury tax system for the 2024 season. The salary cap will be calculated based on the total salary paid to the starting roster, excluding substitutes or benched players. It consists of a minimum level, set at 70% of a team's revenue earned in 2022, and an upper limit. Teams exceeding the maximum cap will incur a luxury tax, which will be redistributed to teams that stayed within the limit. However, to be eligible for a share of the luxury tax, teams must reach the minimum level of the salary cap. There is no individual cap on a player's salary, only for the entire team, and there are exceptions and bonuses based on player achievements.[2]
The Spring Split regular season ran from 17 January to 24 March 2024. The 10 teams played a total of 90 games, and all regular season games were played in a best-of-three format. The top six teams from the regular season advanced to the playoffs, which took place from 30 March to 14 April 2024.[1] The top two teams from the playoffs advanced to the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational.[3]
