Falcons has rapidly emerged as a global powerhouse in the esports industry. Backed by substantial financial resources, the organization has acquired top players and league slots in Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Mobile Legends.
Now, Falcons appears ready to enter the League of Legends scene once again—this time through China’s prestigious LPL (League of Legends Pro League).
RNG Faces Financial Crisis Amid Takeover Rumors
According to insider @CnAboutdota, Falcons is reportedly negotiating the purchase of RNG’s LPL slot for approximately $8 million USD. This deal would help Royal Never Give Up (RNG) recover from mounting financial instability, including debts and poor competitive results.
RNG, one of China’s most legendary teams, may use the funds to restructure and possibly return stronger in the future.
A Second Attempt to Enter Competitive League of Legends
This is not the first time Falcons has shown interest in League of Legends esports. In 2023, the organization attempted to purchase Astralis’ LEC slot, which was eventually sold to Karmine Corp.
With a new opportunity in Asia, Falcons seems determined to break into the Chinese League of Legends market, even as the PC esports economy in the region faces significant challenges.
If successful, this deal could solidify Falcons as a major player in League of Legends esports. The organization continues to pursue a high-impact, capital-driven strategy, and the LPL acquisition would mark one of the boldest moves in Chinese esports in recent years.
