Super weird move. Maybe he wasn't happy with being stuck on a 6 man roster? Maybe he just didn't work well with the team?

Either way, it's not something I'm a fan of. Hopefully, he gets picked up by another top-tier team in KOREA. It would suck if he went to Japan.

Good for him. Hopefully he finds a team that will actually take advantage of his talent.

I can't help but feel like VS are significantly weaker now though without k1ng or Lakia :(

Imagine this roster:
Seoldam (Jett)
Lakia (Sova)
Astell (Smokes + IGL)
Persia (Sentinel)
10X (Flex)

Lol VS are not weaker with the loss of Lakia, I just don't think he really fit the team. Rb probably just fits the team better I guess. But yea k1ng loan is gonna hurt, maybe they get secret or efina or munchkin. Not really many options for a sentinel.

Maybe future potential is hurt but I feel like people are wildly overhyping Lakia right now. VS probably have a reason why they didn't ever field Lakia, maybe he just didn't work out during scrims.

Yeah, if VS still had k1ng on their team, I don't think dropping Lakia would've made them any weaker. But now that they don't have Lakia or k1ng, I feel like this was a poor move by VS management. I mean, no offense to Zest, but I think he is a significant down grade from either one of them.

i think Rb is more flexible but lakia has a higher potential, tho i can agree that VS isn't necessarily his team

I don't know how to feel about this, but at least we can probably see Lakia play a full BO3 now.

They bench him when all big teams finalized roster.
I guess he can join Rio Company. I hope he does.

hes their original sova player for when they had that massive winstreak in korea. after they lost to nuturn he took a pretty long medical leave. personally he's not as good k1ng and lakia, but he most likely meshes better in the team than lakia would. so that's probably why they kept him.
