- So basically everyone knows that Lakia is LFT.
- TNL esports have disbanded.
- Since Zest is back, VS will have 5 man roster, kind of a dick move and i feel sad for Lakia.
- The only place that needs players AND can match the salary is NU (in Korea) and since a lot of teams have finalised their roster it will be hard for Lakia to find a team straight away (unless something was agreed beforehand)
- Nuturn is most likely to come back to valorant with a completely new roster so I hope (hopium) Lakia goes back and maybe Seoldam, Astell(might be hard cos he lives in JP but we never know), and a few other fa players//
- Lakia said that he had injuries when he first joined DRX VS, and is now going for rehab, but he will be back by this year's VCT.
- A lot of offers are coming in for TNL players! So they are thinking about whether to move on as whole, finding new team or splitting up.
*This will be updated, sorry I'm not very well nowadays so i might be late for news but we have other fantastic users to cover kr scene so I'm not worried

kocunar [#2]I believe astell is signed to crazy raccoon
OHH thats a good good pick up. He is super fluent in Japanese too.
fadezis [#4]Good roster with lft players imo
Seodalm - sniper
Bunny - entry rifler
Lakia - sova/skye
FiveK can play smokes ig, cause he played viper in LCQ
Efina - anchor
Nah there are better controller who is lft now than FiveK, since TNL disbanded, if the roster do not get pick up by another org, TS is a really good option who can igl.
ItsMeDio [#9]who tf exy & ts
change it to efina & fiveK
just cuz u don't know them doesn't mean they're shit, they're both better than efina and fivek
ItsMeDio [#9]who tf exy & ts
change it to efina & fiveK
F4Q wouldn't qualify to Berlin if there was double elim in Korea
TNL would qualify instead, in fact they were much better as a team
And then you wouldn't be asking these questions "who tf are exy and ts I only know efina and fivek"
Bo0mShell [#15]How about Persia instead of Harry?
Persia is signed and TBD announced to whatever org hes going to
SeulgiVLR [#14]For anyone wondering, TNL disbanded because their financials have been pretty bad for the past year
They were on the verge of going bankrupt a few months ago because someone had mishandled their financial situation and thought everything was going well, turns out it wasn’t

SeulgiVLR [#16]Persia is signed and TBD announced to whatever org hes going to
But what if that team picks up the rest of these players. Still possible.
deadSQUAD [#19]how about munchkin instead of persia
Idk. Not that he is bad, but every match of CR that I watched, he didn't have a significant performance.
Olofboost [#12]Poor TNL
This is what happens when you have single elimination playoffs all year long and even the best tier1 KR teams play like 5-6 games per split (excluding qualifying matches against random immortal mixes), no events except VCT either
Thanks Riot Korea for making KR teams suffer
now the format has changed and it looks SO MUCH better...
ItsMeDio [#9]who tf exy & ts
change it to efina & fiveK
TS is one of the best controller in Korea, and also IGL. Exy, in terms of raw shots, he is insane.
SeulgiVLR [#26]Update to TNL: Just heard about who is likely taking over. A new big org is coming :)
Is it one of the rumoured LCK org or different?
SeulgiVLR [#26]Update to TNL: Just heard about who is likely taking over. A new big org is coming :)
lets goo
jimjam789 [#29]I mean lakia news was mutual agreement, everyone is making it seem like VS are huge snakes
yea lakia's contract was done, and so he went to VS but mostly people are sad about the treatment. However, lakia did have some problem with his wrist in the beginning so yea unfortunate.
Stratos [#27]Is it one of the rumoured LCK org or different?
LCK? No, but it could be an option
League? Yes
Stratos [#27]Is it one of the rumoured LCK org or different?
bail (tnl coach) said that for a new org to join the scene now it would be a bit late. BUT he is talking to a number of other orgs, teams and etc
SeulgiVLR [#26]Update to TNL: Just heard about who is likely taking over. A new big org is coming :)
He said it is incredibly hard for an org to take up the entire roster, so nothing is certain and the players want to continue with this team, although they have offers on their table.
DeluluGavin [#33]bail (tnl coach) said that for a new org to join the scene now it would be a bit late. BUT he is talking to a number of other orgs, teams and etc
I see, well it does make sense consider that time is also start to running out for teams who still hasn't finalize their roster.
Stratos [#27]Is it one of the rumoured LCK org or different?
It’s most likely to be Talon if the talks end up going through
DeluluGavin [#3]OHH thats a good good pick up. He is super fluent in Japanese too.
that reminds me , does Seoldam speak Japanese?
he did play for nth right
Fate01 [#41]that reminds me , does Seoldam speak Japanese?
he did play for nth right
not very good but he can speak japanese
Olofboost [#13]F4Q wouldn't qualify to Berlin if there was double elim in Korea
TNL would qualify instead, in fact they were much better as a teamAnd then you wouldn't be asking these questions "who tf are exy and ts I only know efina and fivek"
^ Facts
redlight [#39]Some team needs to do TNL + Lakia. That would be a crazy ass lineup.
TS - smokes
exy - duelist flex
JinboongE - sentinel
Mete0r - Jett
Lakia - Sova flexBail - head coach
I assume Talon would be the most likely to do this roster if the talks end up going through, although they might just sign the original 4 + SeliG replacement or build around TS, Meteor, and Exy if they have enough time to do so
Mortadelo [#45]Did they speak Korean in Nth?
idts. Seoldam doesn't really speak that much and when he does he'll probably speak Japanese.
DeluluGavin [#46]idts. Seoldam doesn't really speak that much and when he does he'll probably speak Japanese.
That’s not good for him, he can be as cracked as he wants but nobody likes to play with someone that doesn’t talk enough tho
titanwithpp [#48]Will ex-TNL play in the coming VCT?
Possibly, Talon will be deciding very soon whether to go with ex-TNL or somewhere rlse
Olofboost [#13]F4Q wouldn't qualify to Berlin if there was double elim in Korea
TNL would qualify instead, in fact they were much better as a teamAnd then you wouldn't be asking these questions "who tf are exy and ts I only know efina and fivek"
I just realized that it was single elim for berlin qualifiers in kr, that's actually really stupid if they were competing for 2 slots with the finalists. I'm not too involved in the scene but is tnl really better than damwon back then though? I heard damwon was the favored team to qualify alongside VS.
Izanagi [#40]honestly, Japan scene is looking bigger than the Korean scene, that's a shame
yes bigger in terms of total size but that's just because japan has more orgs willing to give out good salaries, overall korea has more proven talent on an international scale, however that might not continue if japan starts developing in the coming years
BadlandsChugs [#51]yes bigger in terms of total size but that's just because japan has more orgs willing to give out good salaries, overall korea has more proven talent on an international scale, however that might not continue if japan starts developing in the coming years
that's what I'm saying, the amount of players leaving KR is really sad, I don't know what will happen when LPL orgs start to import players.
DeluluGavin [#42]not very good but he can speak japanese
He doesn't have to speak ,his knives will speak for him
Mortadelo [#47]That’s not good for him, he can be as cracked as he wants but nobody likes to play with someone that doesn’t talk enough tho
I mean he is just not super vocal, but he does speak
cisen [#55]NUTURN dont come back in 2022 so do not wait the nuturn for roster
where did you hear that
DeluluGavin [#57]where did you hear that
BoDork (public announcer) + a few of my sources can confirm that Nuturn isnt coming back yet
They originally wanted to after getting the funds, but considering their manager left and the sudden disband, their new roster was just left behind

sadge, hopefully challengers 2 we can see them back
DeluluGavin [#60]sadge, hopefully challengers 2 we can see them back
I heard rumors about the LCK and Nuturn, considering the price of that I'm not sure if they'll be back by challengers 2
