A lot, South Korea It is the birthplace of League of Legends. But the servers took a long time to arrive and the world premiere was done without the Koreans. But since then, the country is doing well and the LCK teams have won many championships (SKT, Samsung, DWG KIA…). Talent abounds in Korea and competition is fierce. This is why it is not uncommon for players to be expelled. some go Chinese (Rookie, TheShy…), others leave North America (CoreJJ, Impact…) and there are also some items Europe !
There was a time when Korea was really fashionable in our region. In the summer of 2016, 7 of the 10 EU LCS teams had at least one Korean player in their roster:
- fnatic : Gamsu and Spirit
- G2 : Perspectives and advice
- Giants Game : NIGHT AND SONSTAR
- H2K : Ryu
- Rocket : Parang and upgrade
- life : Mightybear and the police
- I like unicorns : Move and Veritas
That Korean bustle has since passed and the excitement has faded…but according to Streamer/Custer CadrellEurope had better get this Vienna moving again.
The top lane, the least played role in Europe?
For the British, Korea had a lot of good pitchers in the spring. quoting Zeus (T1), quinine (Kwangdong Freecs), Raskali (KT), Doran (Gen.G), King (DRX) without forgetting კანა (NS) has proven in the past that it can work miracles. In summer, traffic jams can be even more impressive on the way back Nuguri (DWG KIA).
The toxicity unwittingly adds that Europe is quite weak in this position and this trend is not new! A former pro player saves broken knife, awesome, odamne And Alfahari. He thinks the rest is too light… players love it Adam Or Pear Will appreciate the comment.
Difficult to talk about it, and everyone knows very well that the Koreans, despite their talent, can have trouble adapting to Europe. This Gambling LEC is different from LCK and should also be considered cultural factors… Going back to Caedrel, he thinks European teams should see him that way, both in the top lane and as a jungler and fan.
Latest examples for you to see more
Custer also bases his argument on some well-founded examples. Despite the latest import boom, Koreans are definitely out of fashion in Europe.
- Hiriti : He made a mess at the County Election Commission last year. Slightly less in favor in 2022, but still a solid top player…never played for the LCK in South Korea. Experienced the best with Challenger Series APK Prince.
- malrang : The replacement of the old canyon at DWG KIA was a major discovery of the LEC in the spring. Clever and above all very creative, A Rogue Forest has stood out for its talent on the European scene. Selected in the LEC Pro team, never played a major role in the LCK…
- Meeting : The latter develops in LCS (C9), not in LEC. However, he has shown that he has an excellent level and the Korean actor adapts easily to Western culture.
In the past, we may have introduced Koreans indiscriminately. This Broadcast errors There were many of them (Nagne, Snow, Tea, GBM…). But it could be today cheap Reach.
