With the season looking a bit worrying, DRX is looking to give some of its academy players some LCK on-stage experience. That said, people also didn’t expect DRX to finish 9th in spring with a solid roster of veterans. It will come down to what form the players have during the next split and whether they can make a major step up right from the very beginning.Įven though DRX became the 2022 World Champions, no one expected them to repeat their run this year, especially after announcing the departure of all its players except support BeryL (and sub jungler Juhan). Despite the result, it looks like DK won’t make changes, considering the individual players they have currently. They looked decent for the majority of the tournament but dropped the ball against Hanwha Life Esports during playoffs.
Dplus KIAĭplus KIA had a weird slump in the 2023 LCK Spring Split. Confirmed roster moves will be in bold, while rumors will state the source if available). That being said, let’s take a look at what roster moves were done among the various LCK teams. The Summer Split will begin somewhere in June and last until August (the dates are yet to be confirmed). For the organizations, but most importantly, the players, it’s the golden chance to prove themselves. Now that the mid-season break is ending, teams will have to put everything on the line to get the spots at Worlds 2023, which will take place in their home country. Both T1 and Gen.G were unable to make it to the final as both were eliminated by BLG.Īfter dominating in last year’s Worlds, this is a major shift of power from the LCK to the LPL. The Korean League come from a disappointing MSI, following their early exit in the losers’ bracket. Since attackers need to cross through A Lobby to access A Site and Ramp, holding this single sightline was enough to maintain control of the entire side of the map.Image Credits | Colin Young-Wolff/Riot Games LCK Summer Roster Moves – Korea makes only a few changes Being a relatively narrow area without any elevation change, defenders could hold a sightline with good crosshair placement, which is extremely deadly with an Operator. Prior to this change, A Main was an important area that was relatively easy to hold by defenders. The overall space has been widened, and there’s a ledge that players can walk on. Starting things off, there’s been some changes to make contesting A Main easier for attackers. We’ll showcase each specific area of the map changed and expand on their direct implications on gameplay.
These new changes don’t change the basic flow of the map but aim to make several specific engagements more attacker-sided, with the intention to make both sides more balanced. Additionally, the design of the map made it more execution heavy, since the rotation from A to B is quite difficult.
Prior to the rework, Split was very defender-sided, with many narrow chokepoints and angles for defenders to play. In their place, we are getting the new map Lotus, and a revamped version of Split, which exited the map pool previously. In Valorant's Episode 6, drastic changes came to the map pool with the removal of Breeze and Bind.
