OGN Club Masters is back! Now known as SK Telecom LTE-A LoL Masters. Starts on 13th February. Every Thursday and Sunday
The system will be a little bit different. Example
CJ Blaze vs SKT K
CJ Frost vs SKT S
CJ Allstars vs SKT Allstars (Ace Match)
Ace Match will happen in case the score is 1:1.
The reason they chose this mode is that they want to have the fun part from Club Masters last year where you had the bottom lane of Madlife + Cpt. Jack but you need 5 players who played together for quite some time to get perfect play. So they choose this system where there are both systems in place.
More information regarding the new league will be announced on the media day which will be 7th February. This day will be interesting because there was no new information about LoL proleague, so it will be interesting to see if its related to proleague or not.

SKT Merchandise planning guy: "We predict this sponsorship will create a synergy effect between the new T-LoL application and OGN's content, and we will combine other content in the future to offer a new paradigm in esports viewing."

Also same Sponsor as Proleague and it runs on non Champions days. If it will really be the new proleague I am surprised that KeSPA didn't call it Proleague
|
Man I remember the first time I watched Korean LoL was through Club Master.
|
oh club masters, i love fun format. I still remember the FLIP comp lol
|
awesome cant wait, hopefully we get some game 3s and not all 2-0s

ROFL gonna watch that VOD again

This will be really nice and interesting to watch. I always enjoyed proleague more but these are already teams playing in a team format so I'm not sure what to make of it.
|
The thing to keep in mind here is that Proleague is actually Kespa's tournament. They own/run it themselves. This tournament shares some similarities, but OGN owns/runs it. Hence the differentiation.
Should be fun to see it though! I won't be one of the main casters for this as I'll be having some other OGN commitments coming up...

I don't see CJ doing so well with how they been playing lately. I don't see them beating SK/KT/Najin/Samsung with this format. Also sucks that Xenics won't be in this, this is huge for Prime though

OSL or Hearthstone?
Will Monte be one of the main casters?

Interesting, hope the players treat it as seriously as Champions.

Sounds awesome. So confirmed teams will be CJ, SKT, Samsung, Jin Air, Xenics, IM, NaJin, and KT? Would make for some epic matches.

Let me guess Hearthstone?

Nothing confirmed so far but its an educated guess

Sickkkkk! Really looking forward to this. Sadly we probably won't see enough SKT mix matches though =P
|
So SKT All stars is just SKT K?

LOL, probably. SKT K versus the world
|
SKT might switch in Marin for the star/hype power (even though Marin is still unproven atm)
CJ ace lineup is absolutely SICK city though.
|
It will be interesting to see to what extent the teams will take advantage of the ability to mix up squads for all-star games. It would be nice to field your strongest players, but I wonder if sacrificing the synergy would be worth it.
I guess they'll play two games on a given day, since a minimum of two games is woefully short... but a maximum of six games seems rather long. Then again, I guess the LCS does that and more on a regular basis.
|
Im guessing whoever is playing OGN won't be playing in masters, vice-versa.
edit: due to scheduling conflicts
|
Sick! I like this format very much. Man, so hyped.
|
Nice, I'd like to see the old KTB with insec in jungle and ssumday at top coz I really dont think insec shines in toplane specially with the current tank meta.
|
So we will have 5 match-days every week？
Wes,Tur,Fri,Sat and Sunday.
Does it affect the circuit points or qualifiers for worlds？

no information so far. Will post an update once it is known.

So it's limited to the "teams"/sponsors that already field two squads/sister teams?

you need two teams to participate but not sure what the entry deadline is for OGN

people are a bit unreasonably down on skt s. bang is like the top elo guy on ladder, even higher than faker sometimes. he just got an unlucky spear to his back otherwise they'd be the new hype team. wolf is a god. marin is still marin just a bit uncomfortable to play his game for some reason.
they just need to find a strat that fits their personnel. build around the bot lane

not sure if wolf is a god, or wolf what a god (as in wolf sucks)
|

wolf is a really good support. that bot lane has a lot of potential (tm)
