Y por ultimo, mas rumores de Corea/China, parecido a lo que ya salió ayer:
Rift between Easyhoon and Vici Gaming
– The brief rumor about a link between Bang and VG was real.
– Easyhoon requested to VG that they acquire one of SKT’s bot duo. VG had already planned on getting a Korean ADC, so they went after Bang.
However, Bang and Wolf re-signed with SKT, and Easyhoon was upset.
– VG then hurriedly changed targets to Pray, but Pray’s preference for a Korean team was too strong.
– VG has suggested other ADCs to Easyhoon, but he was not happy. VG is worried that they will now also lose Easyhoon.
Bang and Wolf resigning with SKT was because of Bengi?
– Whether it be retirement or military conscription, Bengi had planned to leave SKT. He felt bad that he could not be more useful to the team due to his dependence on certain metas.
– Bengi persuaded Bang and Wolf to stay. He told them that because he was planning to leave, it would be an incredible disservice to SKT if all of them leave.
– If the bot duo had left, Bengi would have remained.
A sponsorship offer to ROX was real.
– Of course, it was under the condition that every team member had to remain on ROX, which obviously did not happen.
– The new head coach Kang (formerly head coach of Afreeca and CJ) is really trying to get that sponsor on board still.
Longzhu Superteam?
– Longzhu wants Easyhoon as their midlaner. VG wishes to keep him.
– LZ also is trying to get MaRin. The problem is that players in general do not show interest in joining LZ. MaRin will most likely not join, and Duke and Ssumday are part of the Plan B. They may compete with SKT over Ssumday.
– Easyhoon may join, as his relationship with VG has soured (reasons mentioned above)
– VG and LZ are both targeting Kuro if they cannot acquire/keep Easyhoon.
– The Longzhu bot duo is rumored to be Pray and Gorilla.
Apdo (Dopa) to EDG?
– According to Apdo, EDG had seriously made an offer to him when Pawn was injured.
– EDG released Koro1 with the intention of acquiring Smeb, but changed their plans of importing Korean top/adc to mid/adc after Semb signed with KT.
– There is almost 0% chance that Apdo will go to EDG, however.
The new mid of ROX is Bdd?
– Coach Kang (who had coached Bdd while at CJ) wants Bdd as the new mid of ROX. He still remembers how a young Bdd smashed all other candidates during CJ’s mid tryouts.
– Bdd seems to prefer going to China’s LPL, however.
Top laner for SKT?
– It is true that all free agent top laners and top amateurs tried out for SKT.
– People who suddenly surged up in the solo queue ladder are most likely the people who tried out for SKT
– Flame is rumored to have tried out for SKT as well.
