With the Mid-Season Cup showcasing the LCK’s best teams back in LoL Park, we’ll likely see the league return with an in-studio broadcast.
The LCK will also welcome the newly-promoted Team Dynamics from Challengers Korea. With Team Dynamics’ impressive performance in the LCK Summer Promotion, it’ll be interesting to see how the top-tier CK team will fare in the major league.
