Who's hyped for summer split? I'm excited for western teams this worlds as there has been such an improvement

 

Have mostly been checking up on statistics this year and scrolling through a couple of matched. Only watched a few hyped matches on social media to be very honest. With a lot of core players starting to leave it gets a little less interesting, still exciting to see how the West will do @ Worlds this year.

I haven't watched a game in a while. I look at the highlights in the LoL subreddit and the post match discussions

 

I have no idea what to expect out of EU to be honest. G2 seemed like such a dominant team over the course of the Spring split and just completely fell flat on their face when facing international talent.

NA has quite a few strong contenders. I have always liked TL but I think it's up in the air how they'll perform without Dardoch, if he ever comes back, and who they'll replace him with.

Haven't watched LCS in a few splits, but I'm actually excited for this one with how well NA is doing

I wouldnt be surprised if TSM and TL do a trade with Sven and Dardoch tbh. Dardoch has great synergy with Bjergsen so it'll be interesting nonetheless.

When teams are deciding their rosters is my favorite part of the season

Agreed, it's nice to see everything get tied together and speculate about rosters. Not a lot of HUGE changes happened this split compared to Spring Split though. Most teams just swapped or benched a player or two.

EDIT - Here is the roster for the NALCS for this upcoming split. They did a good job making the infographic.

It's always after worlds when you see the bigger changes. Thanks for the infographic

 

I watch a lot of LCS games in my free time. Im really hyped for our NA teams. We've shown so much improvement over the last few years. I watch a lot of NA and LCK. I'll sneak in a few hyped chinese games as well. I'm very surprised SKT pulled it together late in the season. I watched as they struggled all year. Duke seemed really weak to me. His teleports almost gave me cancer. All of a sudden in worlds him and faker turned it on. Gave bang a nice break from carrying. I wonder who's gonna pay faker at the end of the year. I think a chinese team goes big for him. Maybe rng?

Faker's already been offered huge amounts multiple times, and he's declined. He's basically a celebrity in Korea, and has an actual brand. Unless he plans on retiring soon (even then so), or something major happens, I doubt he'll leave SKT.

The new patch they're playing on looks good ^^

His current contract ends soon. It's only a matter of time before the chinese offer him a stupid amount of money. I heard last year he was offered 1m.

I don't know about that. Money could definitely change his mind. Especially if he thinks he'll retire soon anyways.

I dont think he'l be retiring anytime soon. He brings in so much attention and revenue. Not to mention he is still considered the #1 player in the world. Every so often new updates throw him off a little bit but he rebounds. Im interested to see if Korea will match China's next offer. I usually only see 1 year contracts max. Maybe china offers him multiple years?

1m is nothing compared to what he makes out of his brand. He's prob earning far more than 2M/Y.

Na lcs is sooooooooooo much more better than eu lcs

 

CLG is getting dumpstered so far, I'm just hoping c9 will get to finals this time

I was only referring to his contract not his endorsements.

Agreed man. I was on the CLG hype train after they had some success at MSI but they haven't quite looked as great as I thought they'd be. NA as a whole though is very solid and I honestly don't know how this split is going to play out at all.
