All other LCK and CK teams applied. My guess is the 10 teams will be: T1, KT, Gen G, DRX, Afreeca, RunAways, Jin Air, Damwon, Hanwha, Sandbox, unless Riot Korea is upset Jin Air phoned it in for years Update, the current teams negotiating for a spot with Riot Korea are 9 of the 10 LCK teams and Brion (going by Hyfresh Blade this season). Both Jin Air and APK Prince are on the back up list. Is Hyfresh some really popular Korean brand? As a long time esports follower it seems weird that Jin Air is a back up to Hyfresh. The others make enough sense.
Update from a few days later:
SHO Prince <-> Hyfresh Blade for LCK franchising, SHO Prince is apparently the first alternative, so no Glad Planes unless talks with two teams fall out minimum

Any of you guys have a top 20 players at world list? I’ve always thought they are kinda fun to do despite being mostly wrong in hindsight lol
|
No rankings, but players I'm looking forward to:
- Knight
- Zoom
- Kanavi
- JackeyLove
- Caps
- Wunder
- ShowMaker
- Chovy
- Larssen
- Hans Sama
- Ruler
Also, this will the first time I watch NA teams this year, it's hard just watching your favorite teams in LPL/LCK/LEC.

Yeah I watch NA mostly because it’s on at a convenient time for me, I’m not particularly invested in any teams or players in it, I also think no players from NA should be on a top 20 list but I guarantee Bjergsen will find his way on it lol

I basically can't find the time to watch anything but NA, nor can I get myself to wake up early enough to watch KT anymore(not that they're giving me much reason to).

This year I found myself using the YT playback feature for LPL and LCK streams extensively. If you start watching 3 hours after the games start, you can skip all the pauses (there were a lot in LCK this playoffs), the PB phase and all the intermissions, condenses a 4 hour series into like 90 minutes. You lose the fun of seeing it live, but I only really care when it's Worlds.

ESPN brought out their top 20, it's not very surprising tbh. Also, not one NA player on there, that burns.
Top 5 is mostly mid laners, most talented position atm for sure.

This is the first list from ESPN that I don't immediately think is a joke.

curious about all the lpl viewers saying Jackeylove is the carry on his new team because he definitely got carried in 2018.
|
I thought JL was fairly good in 2018. Not perfect, he had moments where he fed, but he almost always filled the 'carry' role by doing lots of damage. In his final IG days, he had games where he looked similar to Uzi, one man army pulling a dead team to the finish line. TES went from really good to worldclass when he joined, he seems to be a good shotcaller, and he doesn't feed as much. That said, him and yuyanjia have sometimes lost lane very hard, but that's because LPL is full of strong bot duos and they all try to bully/kill each other before level 4, feels like Russian roulette sometimes.

He was just let go by Vici 4 days ago, so it's possible.
|
Its also been confirmed that LS was approached by T1 as well.
|
For streaming, no? I think LS coaching days are over, besides one on one stuff with viewers.
|

ls as head coach? i mean ill admit im heavily biased against ls because i think hes an arrogant sack of shit but for a major organisation like t1 to go to him of all people? thats gotta be a joke
also nowhere in that article does it imply that ls has been approached by t1 to be head coach. it doesnt even say normal coach, just position. could may as well be streaming for all we know
|
He's said publicly in the past that he didn't want to coach because they'd have to pay him stupid money to give up streaming, co-streaming, and general coaching stuff.

here's another one, just because your biased doesnt mean it didn't happen. Also if ESPNs website wasnt dog shit I'd give you a 3rd one too
|
your links just say the same thing. hes meeting joe marsh for unspecified reasons.
i really dont think t1 wants to be giving their head coach job to a guy whos best stint as a coach was to fail to get a team out of challengers korea. if joe marsh went and hired ls as head coach hed be lining himself up after coach kim to be next out the door. imagine the shitshow from korean fans alone
