LCK player salaries get CAPPED / Who will CHALLENGE C9 for the LCS title? - Summoning Insight S6E28
The LCK announces new salary restrictions on players/teams, a luxury tax, and exemptions for former champions, which means that Thorin and Monte are here to discuss the details. The LCS is in turmoil as the regular season winds down since C9 and EG have fallen from their previously dominant positions and Team Liquid surges with APA. Is the title truly up for grabs or will Cloud9 repeat their Spring Split victory on the road to Worlds? LEC appears much less in doubt with G2 holding heavy advantages in Europe, particularly because their closest challenger, Fnatic, appears to be slumping at the wrong moment. Finally, the hosts discuss the battle for pole position in the LCK with this week's upcoming match between GenG and KT.
