Riot has previously stated that want to install a system in which teams could ensure long-term earnings. One form of this system is the introduction of team chromas for the new Championship Kha'Zix in which teams will receive a percentage of total sales for their chroma. This is a way in which fans are able to directly support their teams through the game outside of the tournament prize money.
