The LCK 2019 off with a Great, Fierce Start: “Meta these days…”
This week's editorial cartoon is about the LCK Spring Split starting off with the fierce ‘brawl' meta. As the LCK went through a rough time last year, it received a lot of criticism and disapproval from the fans. The ‘safe and cautious' play style that was often seen in the LCK received the most judgment; the LCK style of playing safe and risk-free until the mid-late phase was often compared to how other regional teams did not hesitate to actively engage in fights. Not only did it prove less fun for the viewers, but its results were also unsatisfactory as well. Riot has been adding patches that were focused around skirmishes since last year. This means that the game is changing so that it is more about fighting aggressively from the early phase rather than being cautious till the later phase. These changes are well reflected in the League's atmosphere with the new patches.

On January 19th, the 4th day of the 1st week for the LCK 2019 Spring Season took place at the LoL Park, South Korea. The 2nd match was between Griffin and Jin Air Green Wings, in which Griffin overwhelmed Jin Air Green Wings in both sets, giving only 1 kill and no turrets. It was a perfect victory even though Griffin tried a new team comp in the first set, picking Urgot, Evelyn, Sion, Vladimir, and Ornn. Following is the interview with Griffin's AD Carry, Viper.
