FlyQuest subbing in their entire Academy team into LCS and sold Licorice to GGS, who immediately extended his contract to 2023

Kind of wild. Their academy roster is supposedly playing super well and FQ looks awful in LCS. Still don't really understand why Licorice wants to join this GGS lineup unless they've already promised him they'll torpedo the whole thing. So much for their development roster lmao

SKT remove Head Coach Daeny and Coach Zefa on match day against KT Rolster. No idea who will be the coach today. Probably won't be LS because he said on twitter he was having medical issues. Maybe Polt steps in until they hire new staff?

So another year of T1 'rebuilding' and failing to make World's?

Honestly that would just be embarrassing. LCK has 4 slots this year so you basically just have to be a top half team to make it.

Seems like VCS won't be happening this summer, I'm surprised Riot hasn't said anything officially about it. I assume the solution will be at least a 4th seed for EU, maybe even a 4th seed for NA/3rd for PCS. Not that I particularly want to see how NA 4th seed or PCS 3rd would do at worlds

V5 and NiP merge. The merger will use NiP branding in LPL starting Summer 2022

Would not expect Europe to be the easiest region to organize Worlds in during the pandemic

Also the least shit place to deal with time zones, imo. Pacific ocean is too fucking big.

The compromise is that Worlds matches are played when most Europeans are working...

I think the most interesting part is that he's allegedly testing free agency and willing to go back to the LEC. I imagine a team like Vitality or BDS that has the kind of money to get him would be a likely destination in EU. Imagine a world where Vitality picks up Csacsi and Bjerg

At the same time, if he plays for another team he has to sell what part he owns of TSM. That's a potentially hefty investment to give up on.

If he goes to another NA team, I think I'd just stop paying any attention to League.

He could sell his shares if he really wanted to. It would actually make sense, TSM's value likely peaked after their big sponsorship in the short term. Unless you think TSM will turn into the esports equivalent of Facebook or Apple, it would be a great time to cash out for a mere mortal. He's already set for life either way, and these are his final chances of being a pro player.

I guess alternatively you keep your ownership, TSM eats the loss of getting rid of PoE/holding him in contract prison, and you replace lost with whatever Chinese ADC swordart desires
