2023 arrived with a new era in entertainment and football, the Kings League, a tournament that emerged from the collaboration between Piqué and Ibai Llanos, which, for the last few hours, has been the subject of all social networks.
To talk about the Kings League, it is necessary to go back or mention the importance that collaborations currently have, many of which arise through the internet and the different platforms that, day by day, are becoming more specialized.
Starting from this premise, it is time to talk about one of the industries that, over the years, has undergone various transformations and, above all, in the last third, as a result of the arrival of the pandemic.
In Mexico, The video game industry reached 32 thousand 229 million pesos during the peak period of the pandemicof which five percent comes from the eSports.

Kings League: this is what the players of Piqué’s tournament would charge
They’ve done it before when they presented the “World Cup of Balloons”, an event that added more than two million views on Twitchmaking it clear that the entertainment industry is undergoing major changes.
Another example of how, at present, collaborations are of great importance, we can see it in the recent tournament organized by Ibai Llanos and the former central defender of Barcelona FC, Gerard Piqué, through his production company, Kosmos.
We talk about the Kings League, a new seven-a-side football tournament in which they participate influencersretired footballers and other anonymous, and that has been in the news in recent days due to the song in which Shakira refers to her breakup with Piqué. Even today, it was revealed that the former Barcelona captain himself arrived at the event driving a Twingo car, as a way of “responding” to what happened to the Colombian song.

However, something that many people ask and that, in reality, does not have a concrete answer is about how much the players who participate in said tournament earn or will earn.
Although it is true that there is no official information, what is known is that, by regulation, all players must earn the same. Thus, information published by Relief points out that Kosmos, Gerard Piqué’s company, pays 70 euros per game to each participant chosen by the draftthat is, 10 of the 12 of each team.
For the players ’11’ and ’12’, the issue seems to be different, since we are talking about “luxury” reinforcements, who can be former footballers (as in the case of “Kun Agüero” or “Chicharito” Hernández), the which may have a different salary, decided by the president of each club, this, because their participation is not constant.
