Team Liquid will re-sign support CoreJJ for 2023 LCS season, according to report
Team Liquid will re-sign its longtime starting League of Legends support player CoreJJ, according to a report from independent League journalist Brieuc “LEC Wooloo” Seeger.
CoreJJ has been the starting support for Liquid 메이저토토사이트 since the 2019 season. During his time with the team, Liquid have won two LCS titles while attending three straight League World Championships between 2019 and 2021.
CoreJJ’s contract with Liquid is set to expire on Nov. 21, according to the League global contract database. If he is extended before that deadline, CoreJJ won’t have the chance to hit unrestricted free agency.
CoreJJ’s lane partner, AD carry Hans Sama, was released 메이저사이트 by Team Liquid earlier in the year. He will reportedly join G2 Esports next season, according to a report by Seeger earlier this week.

During the first two weeks of the season, CoreJJ could not get a United States visa approved in time to play in the LCS, meaning Eyla had to step in for the team.
Additionally, the contract of Academy-level ADC Yeon was 메이저놀이터 extended through the 2024 season by Liquid last month, meaning that a potential bottom lane partnership between Yeon and CoreJJ could be Liquid’s gameplan for next season.

‘They f****ed me over’: Rekkles says he would have been paid 6 percent of his salary if he stayed with G2
Earlier today, former G2 Esports AD carry Martin “Rekkles” Larsson detailed some of the context surrounding this year’s League of Legends offseason on his personal livestream, and how some issues from last year have spilled over into 2022.
According to Rekkles, he was benched by G2 following the end of the 2021 LEC season. Following the decision by G2, Rekkles was denied the chance to play as a substitute or fight for his spot in the starting lineup, leaving him no option but to look for a new team.
Additionally, Rekkles’ options were stifled due to a 안전놀이터 stipulation in his contract with G2 that said he could be paid six percent of his salary if he was benched by the team.
“When I signed the contract in 2020, my lawyer raised this, and I remember I told him ‘that’s not going to happen because no matter what I will play well and no matter what this is a long con thing. I’m not coming for one year, I’m coming for the remaining years of my career,’” Rekkles said on stream.
Rekkles and G2 came one game away from qualifying for the 2021 League World Championship during his lone year with the organization, but lost their berth to longtime LEC rivals Fnatic in the quarterfinals of that season’s Summer 먹튀검증 Split playoffs. Rekkles was benched by the team following that loss, activating the part of his contract that would earn him only six percent of his salary.
“I understood that part of the contract fully,” Rekkles said. “But I was just naive to believe they wouldn’t fuck me over. They fucked me over. They put me here, which is why I really needed to get the fuck out of there, because if I stayed I would get no 사설토토사이트 money and I wouldn’t be able to play. I would just sit and wait two years, so I had to get out.
Rekkles also claimed on stream that the buyout price of his G2 contract was too high for the taste of most, if not all LEC teams. It wasn’t until LEC teams started to sign players during the 2021 offseason that G2 lowered his buyout mark.
“KCorp were interested, luckily enough for me,” Rekkles said. “I think if they weren’t, I would have been so fucked. I was really lucky that they were interested in working together, but I still wasn’t cheap. When I still say ‘lowered buyouts,’ my buyouts 토토사이트 were still substantial, to the point where this is still being a problem today.”
The transfer price for Rekkles to move to KCorp was never disclosed, although former G2 Esports owner and CEO Carlos Rodriguez said on Twitter that the opening price for his contract was set at 1.5 million euros (approximately 1.74 million USD in November 2021).
Now, after KCorp purchased Rekkles’ contract and wants to put the star on the market again, Rekkles finds himself in another situation where his own value might outweigh the buying potential of teams in need of an AD carry. Still, his sights are set on playing at the LEC level again. He also confirmed that he has received multiple offers from teams already this offseason.
“One year later, I’m in a similar situation,” Rekkles said. “I’m under contract again, and the money that KCorp paid for me last year is obviously money that they want back now.”
Rekkles voiced his frustration with the buyout market for star players, especially those who have had their contracts purchased at some point in the last two offseasons. Players including former G2 support Mikyx and former Fnatic mid laner Nisqy were left teamless going into the 2022 season because of reportedly high buyout marks, as well 메이저놀이터
“The money that has been circling around now in particular in EU and NA over the past two to three years has just been way too much for the industry,” Rekkles said. “The money that people are being bought out for is not money that the organizations are making back, so we’ve reached a point now where … it’s out of control for everyone.”
To work in tow with a potentially high buyout, Rekkles also suggested that he could role-swap to the support position in 2023, citing his “game sense” and “work ethic to learn new champs” as potential reasons for success in the role he’s played alongside throughout his entire career.
Legend status: DRX top laner Kingen awarded Worlds 2022 finals MVP
After DRX took home the Summoner’s Cup by toppling fellow LCK representative T1 in the finals of the 2022 League of Legends World Championship, the team’s top laner Kingen was named the finals MVP.
In this series, Kingen carried DRX to victory in all facets of the game, exemplifying his strengths through strong laning and teamfighting. In games four and five, in particular, Kingen secured the award for himself, posting a combined scoreline of 11/3/12 and playing Aatrox in both games.
“I kind of saw it coming, because whenever I head to game four or five I become a duelist,” Kingen said in his award acceptance speech. “I go all in or go home. I always look for fights. I become a beast.”
In game five, Kingen earned a solo kill in lane over T1 top laner Zeus, giving DRX an early advantage in the laning phase. The team snowballed its lead top side and won through Kingen in the final game of the series, just as they did in games two and four as well.

“Throughout the domestic league, I’m pretty sure I was 토토사이트 underperforming,” Kingen said. “Unlike how I look, I actually hesitate a lot. A lot of fans were frustrated because I was not going for the aggressive plays, but heading into this Worlds, our coach Ssong, he always told me, ‘the one who hesitates is the one who loses,’ and 토토사이트추천 that has become a motto for play.”
Kingen is the first top laner to win the Worlds finals MVP award since Marin did so with SK Telecom T1 in 2015.
Elyoya reportedly staying with MAD Lions for the 2023 LEC season
The Spanish jungler Javier “Elyoya” Prades Batalla will continue playing for LEC team MAD Lions for 2023, according to a report by Jaxon.gg. Despite major interest from other European teams, including Fnatic and G2 Esports, as well as offers from abroad, Elyoya will play on MAD for the remainder of his contract which ends next year.

According to investigative journalist LEC Wooloo, G2 wanted Elyoya as their starting jungler, but the two organizations couldn’t find an agreement and the deal vanished.

The official League free agency period begins on Monday, Nov. 21.
Smite key missing: Here are all the objectives T1 stole from DRX during Worlds 2022 finals
If you watched the final series of the 2022 League of Legends World Championship, then it might have taken a while for your blood pressure to drop to normal range. Fans and analysts are all saying that this final five-game series 먹튀검증 between T1 and DRX was the greatest in League history, and for good reason.
From incredible mechanical outplays, frantic teamfights, and poetic storylines setting the stage, this was a day to remember for fans around the world. Throughout the 토토사이트 day, for example, DRX’s young jungler Hong “Pyosik” Chang-hyeon almost cost his team the series on multiple occasions when he and his team had a whopping five neutral objectives stolen away.
To make matters worse, a majority of these objectives weren’t 토토사이트추천 stolen by T1’s jungler Mun “Oner” Hyeon-jun. Instead, they were snatched away by the heroics of superstar AD carry phenom, Lee “Gumayusi” Min-hyeong. Each time, the Chase Center in San Francisco erupted in disbelief as the two key members kept T1’s chances alive with each steal.
The steals might not have mattered in the end, since DRX ended up with the Summoner’s Cup, but here are all of the incredible moments where T1 stole an objective away from DRX.
Game one: Gumayusi says “Thanks for the leash”
The first steal of five begins early in the first game of the day, when Pyosik and DRX’s bottom lane made their way over to the dragon at the seven-minute mark. With priority over the dragon pit and better positioning, T1’s own bottom lane resigned to give up the objective and return to lane. Before heading back, however, Gumayusi threw a lone Varus arrow that pierced the heart of the Cloud Drake, surprising the casters and crowd alike.
Game two: Oner’s flashy combo
Although it wasn’t technically stolen away from Pyosik, the jungler did inadvertently throw his team into a difficult situation when he was caught out of position right before a teamfight at the dragon pit. He was quickly jumped on by multiple T1 members deep into their own jungle, which prompted DRX to try and sneak away the Ocean Drake while their opponents were distracted. Unfortunately for them, T1 immediately turned back to the pit, and with a smite advantage on their side, Oner pulled off a flawless Graves combo to snatch the soul away from their enemies.
Game three: A desperation flash, another missed smite
Around 24 minutes into game three, DRX were up around one thousand gold over T1 when they turned their attention to Baron Nashor, in an attempt to speed the game up and snowball their lead. During the skirmish, however, T1 was able to poke down their opponents to relatively low health, and even though DRX’s mid laner Zeka successfully Azir shuffled Oner away from the objective, the star jungler flashed over the wall and out-smited Pyosik.
Game three: Gumayusi strikes with heart-shattering accuracy
In that same game, DRX came off a brilliant teamfight that had T1’s jungler dead for more than 30 seconds. With Baron, the underdog squad would have had a chance to end the game and take a 2-1 lead in the series. Without a jungler in sight, there wasn’t much of a chance that T1 would steal away this buff, but Pyosik inexplicably missed smite and dropped Baron’s health to 217 HP—the perfect health for Gumayusi to steal it away with another well-placed arrow.
Game five: T1’s championship hopes are hit with an arrow-shaped defibrillator
After what looked like a game-deciding teamfight at the 20-minute mark for DRX, things looked all but lost for the perennial World Champions. Once more, T1 were down three players as their opponents zoomed towards Baron, when Gumayusi hit a once-in-a-lifetime Varus arrow that sent shockwaves throughout the arena. One final time, Pyosik missed smite and dropped the monster to 466 HP, allowing Gumayusi’s arrow to not only yoink the buff away but also pump some life back into his team 안전놀이터
Even with all of these miracle steals, DRX ended up taking home the trophy after a historic five-game series. Whether Pyosik underestimated Varus’ damage, he felt the pressure on his shoulders, or something else entirely, the young jungler can now look at this tournament as a brutal learning lesson for future international events.
