While watching the group stage of the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational, something caught my eye and brought up a curiosity. When I spotted Coca-Cola on paiN Gaming’s jersey, I wondered: “Which team has the highest sum of their sponsors’ market cap?”

It wasn’t an easy process. Although the list of the sponsors was on each team’s homepage, they weren’t always visible on the photos Riot released for the tournament, so I only considered the visible and recognizable sponsors on the photos. Besides, the sponsors' stocks were public in different countries, so I had to exchange all currencies to USD.

So without further ado, here are the rankings for the teams’ sponsors’ market cap sum.

*Note: The higher conglomerates were listed for the sponsors that don’t have their own market cap. All market cap prices are from Google. All values are in USD.
