League of Legends: ENC has extra spots vacant, LCK officials make no choice but to give up on potential players Kiin and Oner.

The LCK and ENC officials have repeatedly clashed, causing numerous setbacks for the Korean team's player selection. They only took action after news of their withdrawal broke, and in the most awkward situation, ENC couldn't contact the clubs, forcing them to compromise with the LCK's selection plan. Online opinion is largely in support of Korea, arguing that the organizers have no right to demand that a country send a particular player. This isn't a beauty pageant or a PR stunt; it's a competitive sport, and players are representing their country's honor. Why should they be able to influence the selection process? Conspiracy theories abound, with some even suspecting that the organizers manipulated the results to deliberately weaken Korea's strength.

Ultimately, South Korea chose to send its Asian Games roster, leaving netizens confused about the LCK's official actions. They changed their stance and defended ENC. The organizers weren't blind; market research would have revealed the appeal of the Korean team and understood the audience's demands. By bringing ZOFGK together, they satisfied the public's wishes and boosted viewership. Besides, having an extra player would maximize their strength, wouldn't it?

Analyzing the Korean roster, three players are from HLE, two from T1, and one from GEN. Canyon was chosen as the sole representative, leaving one spot unfilled. Fans are wondering why Kiin wasn't included. Some believe that LCK's decision was to prevent a public outcry. The best solution would have been to leave the extra spot vacant. Don't forget that GEN only secured one spot, so they must be unhappy. If Oner had been included, the team leader would have started to defend Kiin.
