You could live away from your significant other for a year or two depending on your contract, make ludicrous amounts of China bucks. Then come home and spend the rest of your life working a little less hard

i think just about every single korean woman i know would reject the idea of having to live away from her newlywed husband for a year or two. theyd rather postpone marriage until the "boyfriend" is back than get married and live separately immediately after

KkOma reportedly turned down a seven-figure, multiyear deal from T1 to sign with Vici.

I think the dude left because the T1 pressure was too big, he'd rather live in CN, make
China bucks

and explore new experiences with his wife. Sounds like family interest over maximum profits, especially because he's already set for life anyway. Honestly there were always rumours of his leaving everytime SKT didn't win Worlds, just imagine how tiring it must be to coach a top tier team who is almost always succesful, but you still get blamed for not winning every damn trophy.

Unless you're a top level streamer like qtpie, I think the competitive/stream money balance has evened out.

Kumo officially starting for EG

Despite coaching staff changes Damwon will field the same starting roster in 2020

In minor region news Lloyd retires and MEGA is banned for two years

That last one is particularly noteworthy because presumably MEGA was going to be one of the teams that would have been in whatever new SEA league that was happening between the LST and LMS

Meanwhile several TCL teams haven't paid salaries in months lol. Guess Riot doesn't want to upset big soccer names.

Yeah, I've read that too, pretty incredible that they can get away with it. Honestly there seems to be so much corruption in the League scene these days, guess a competitive scene run by a profit driven company, who has no real interest in sorting out abuse unless it affects the main company directly, is not a good idea. All the more reason to implement international rule making bodies into esports, although FIFA/Olympic Committee aren't much better...

SOFM leaves LNG

Karsa leaves RNG

LPL will have a new team bringing their total to 17

Cuvee joins Hanwha

Wasn't there a Tarzan to RNG rumor at some point?

Ryoma starter for 100T

It’s interesting to hear two powerhouse junglers leave their teams with a new team on the horizon. Especially when Xiye and SMLZ also left their teams, and Khan is rumored to be going to FPX. A Gimgoon,Karsa,Xiye,SMLZ, someone team would be terrifying

Johnsun is really good , he probably would have been Academy last year but he’s young afaik

(The article is wrong he was on tsm developmental he was not old enough for Academy)
Carrilord has arrived.

Johnsun played 4 games in Summer.

Imo he should be spending this year in Academy getting his feet wet, but when you're strapped for cash after falling for the Huni trap, wadyagonnado?

Ultimately a rhetorical question here, but what good is spending so much money to secure Huni if the other 4 players you've grabbed can't be carried by him?

Huni is enough to bring fans to your team regardless of how good the team and his teammates are. Shot in the dark, I believe he's in the top 5 most popular players in the league. This is important since the average viewer isn't a stalwart, usually watching since around S6. As a team that's been out of the scene so long, growing a fanbase is important and you do that 2 ways 1) winning and 2) bringing player fandoms under your team banner.

Couldn't they have done that by holding on to their former Clutch Gaming players? Even though they gained a following for making Worlds through their gauntlet run, they decided to rebuild around Huni and potentially cheapening out on the rest of the new roster. Seems like this move upset a bunch of CG fans and putting Johnsun, an untested ADC directly into the main roster will not give them high chance of placing high but I guess Huni usually finds a way to carry his team to playoffs at least.

I completely agree. I feel like the blowback from fucking Damonte plus the potential blowback from being Huni + 4 literal whos getting stomped on every week would harm them significantly more than the positive's of spending 1/3 of your budget on 1/5 of your team.

I feel like Clutch 2019 was slowly becoming an LCS darling and Dig just decided to fuck it up...for Huni? I guess the devil's advocate is that EG or IMT would have scooped him up? Even then there's plenty of top laners they could grab that are serviceable..

Also shit doesn't seem to be getting better. Artemis is gone

JackeyLove joins Suning, that's a big hole iG has to fill. Also shocked that someone was able to pay for him, apparently the signing alone was 5.7 million bucks.
