Rumor was that there was a L.ACE rule capping the monthly salary of players at a certain amount (6000RMB=1000USD/month?). So one might wonder what attracts these Korean players other than the "glory" and a small chance at S4.
But aren't these Koreans the ones that are passed on by the KR teams in the first place? In that case, being on a CN team > being on no KR team.

Yes and no. Sure being on a team is better than no team. But it is hard to imagine that players like Insec have no offers from NA or EU teams. They certainly pay more.

But I imagine moving to the US or Germany is a bigger change in lifestyle than Korea to China.
For the Chinese in here, what's the deal with World Elite Academy. Normally they cover it up with alliance, young glory or positive energy but now world elite aren't even bothering to cover it up and are staying in LPL as world elite academy. Does tencent not care or are they easing up on the rules for the LPL expansion next year?
Another NiP update: NiP are currently playing with unicorns of love mid laner powerofevil at dreamhack. I don't know if exileh or powerofevil will be at London yet

The rules changed. I think you are allowed two team per org now in lpl,
Meanwhile, Brokenshard won't be able to make to the States asap, so Kez is now starting jungler. Funnily enough, only Yazuki and Bischu never played in LCS from C9T, oh boy.
Yeah, I think CoL is done for without Broken. He had some consistency issues but when that dude could pull an early lead, he could do some real damage. Kez is not bad but I don't think he can fill the playmaker role that Broken left open and that CoL really needs.
