Right after the 2020 League of Legends World Championship, esports teams around the world quickly shifted their focus to improve their current roster as the free agency period opened last November 16.
Just this year, Perkz brought his team to the semifinals of 2020 Worlds but failed to return to the finals after losing to the eventual champions DAMWON Gaming. "I'm ready for a new challenge and grateful for everything [the fans] have given me," Rekkles said in G2 Esports' announcement video."I promised that I'll win Worlds and I will.”
SwordArt, who played with 2020 Worlds finalist Suning, reportedly agreed to sign a whooping two-year, $6 Million contract with TSM – the biggest contract so far in LCS."The reason why I want to join TSM is because I want to challenge myself and see what I can do in another region," said SwordArt. Doublelift and Bjergsen will be replaced by Lawrence"Lost" Sze Yuy Hui, who came from TSM Academy team, and Tristan"PowerOfEvil" Schrage, who led his former team, FlyQuest, to this year's Worlds.Three-time world champion T1 made the first biggest move in the LCK by signing rising star and young support Ryu"Keria" Min-seok.
But aside from picking up Keria, T1 also managed to bring in Lee"Zefa" Jae-min and Yang"Daeny" Dae-in – the main and head coach, respectively, of DAMWON Gaming.In hopes to form a championship contender lineup, Hanwha Life Esports took a huge step as they successfully signed mid laner Jeong"Chovy" Ji-hoon and veteran attack damage carry Kim"Deft" Hyuk-kyu.
