The All-Star Rivalry Show Match between the NA LCS and EU LCS took place in Las Vegas on December 6th. It was a match where pros and streamers got together to compete. Sneaky, who played in the mid lane, stood out even from the early laning phase. He displayed aggressive plays with his LeBlanc and got 3 kills before 10 minutes had passed. Licorice, who had played accordingly to his original role, picked Lucian and comfortably pressured the lane against Wickd. It seemed as if NA had the most momentum at first, but the tide turned during the mid phase. EU Jiizuké's Cassiopeia got a solo kill against Sneaky and eliminated the enemy jungler who came to back up. Simultaneously, Caps and NoWay got kills against Doublelift and Imaqtpie in the bot lane.

For professional players, the fate of their careers is decided when November rolls around. The possibility of retirement, transferring, and contract renewals permeate the air. Alongside this, there are also others things to consider. The most uncertain age for a professional gamer is their mid-20s. Although it is a period past most players' prime, it is also when they display the greatest degree of experience and wisdom in their plays. Because of all this, Deft is in peril. When he announced his return to Korea in 2016, Deft had clarified that he was on borrowed time. Within his 2 years in KT, he was able to win the LCK. The thought of leaving Korea was daunting and unfortunate. Hence why Deft became more careful. If he were to leave Korea now, he may not be granted another chance to play in the LCK. As a result, the only choice Deft had was to continue his career on the domestic stage. Even with the offer of a million US dollars, Deft did not leave.
