Going into the split, I feared that we were going to potentially have another season where DWG KIA’s going to beat everybody and have it be a pretty boring split. It was really interesting for me to see the six teams neck to neck in this split, because you never see that in competitive regions with any dominant team. Wolf: For me, it was really interesting because in the later end of LCK history, we’ve always had one team that seemed omnipotent in the league teams like SKT T1, Griffin, and DWG KIA. Even though there were times where I got annoyed by baseless speculations of ‘LCK sucks now’, I had a lot of fun.

It was a really interesting season for me. Nongshim RedForce and Liiv SANDBOX fell out of favor once the pressure got really high it makes sense though, because they lack experience compared to other veteran teams. Especially this year, because the focus was on who's going to really step up. It’s cool to see that there’s now more competition. At the time, the answer to “Which team’s the strongest at Worlds” also meant “Which team’s going to win Worlds?” and it was something that we took for granted. Generally in the past, especially when I started casting, it was at the tail end of Korea’s undisputed dominance in LoL Esports I’m talking like 2017. This trend also spread to other regions, which created more discussions in the community. There was a lot of outside speculation on LCK’s power level, which put a lot of focus on the LCK teams’ actual strengths. I felt like a lot of things are in flux a lot of things are changing. Valdes: I’d say that it was a very different season overall in a good way, because if every season was the same, things would be very stale. I feel that while both of you were on the same schedule for the LCK finals, you’d each reflect differently, mainly because you (Valdes) casted a lot of the finals in the Summer split, while for you (Wolf), is your first. To recap and reflect on the very heated Summer split in the LCK, as well as to get more insight on how LCK will do at Worlds, Inven Global had a chance to catch up with two of the LCK Global caster line-up, Brendan Valdes and Wolf Schröder to talk about the four LCK representatives, as well as their predictions on how the LCK will fare against the rest of the world. With Worlds just being two weeks away, representatives from each region will compete for the highest honor: To be called the best team in the world. As it is every year, October marks the time where all LoL Esports fans come together for the biggest tournament of the year the World championships.
