    S4 SSW disbanded

    S5 SKT lost MaRin

    S6 SKT lost Duke

    S10 DWG lost Nuguri

    S12 DRX imploded

    It’s very rare for LCK teams to be able to retain their players. It only happened after SSG won in 2017. I’m not couting 2013 SKT as imports werent a thing back then and neither were big money lpl contracts

      The biggest difference is all of T1 players excluding Keira was T1 grown talent.

      I ain’t a pro gamer and money is always a big deal for moving teams but I feel like building a dynasty is wayyyy cooler.

      Winning Worlds is the ultimate validation for a roster. Unless you’ve got a team of 5 intent on building a dynasty, usually someone will want to leave to secure more money for their future or just enjoy a different environment after winning one title.

        I’d say that players have to really enjoy the roster/environment to be willing to stay in situations like this.

        There has to be something that incentivizes them to not seek out what is in their best interests, which is always better contracts. Hope they can find a way to stick together, it’d be sick to see this roster continue forward.
