League of Legends: ZOFGK's reunion fails, LCK officials do not include Oner in the eSports Nations Cup.


South Korea's participation in the eSports Nations Cup has been fraught with controversy. Just recently, news broke that they had a falling out with the organizers and almost withdrew from the competition, shocking the entire community. The LCK region has always been known for its highly entertaining teams. T1 alone has generated countless headlines and broken numerous records. Faker's consecutive championships are unparalleled, and no player has yet succeeded in challenging him. The teams hold their own tournaments, rivaling even the annual World Championship. It's clear that South Korea is the undisputed king of League of Legends.

Later, the controversy subsided, the agreement was reached, and the National Cup Committee agreed not to interfere with the qualifiers. As time went on, the roster was finally announced, consisting of six players: Zeus, Canyon, Zeka, Faker, Gumayusi, and Keria. All of them are top-tier players in the industry. However, netizens seemed dissatisfied with the list, as it retained the original lineup from the Asian Games, essentially securing the championship. Why did it cause controversy?

The official decision allowed ENC to send seven players, and LCK stubbornly stuck to their lineup, which was expected. The problem lies in the fact that Korean teams chose to ignore Oner, a move that is puzzling. If he were selected, fans would have had their dreams fulfilled, as the broken-up championship team, ZOFGK, would reunite in the Nations Cup. What a heartwarming scene that would be! Whether it was to deliberately create division or to avoid conflict, the LCK officials deliberately chose not to include Oner.
