FC Schalke 04 faced serious financial difficulties
Representatives of the e-sports organization FC Schalke 04 Esports on their Twitter account broke bad news for their fans. The club is facing financial difficulties and is likely to be forced to sell its slot in the LoL Europe Championship. According to some rumors, such a move could enrich the organization by $ 20,000,000.
Not the least reason for this is the poor performance of the football team in the first division of the Bundesliga. There, the Germans occupy the last place in the standings, which may contribute to the team's relegation to the second division. By the way, the LoL team is on the seventh line out of ten possible.
Apart from the above, the coronavirus has also played a role in this situation. The German authorities have tightened the quarantine rules and now spectators cannot attend the club's matches.
The management of the esports division of FC Schalke 04 Esports announced that they still do not want to sell the slot on the LEC, but decided to warn their fans in order to avoid unpleasant surprises.
