A global competition like the LoL World Championships requires a global analytical perspective. I sent a set of Worlds preview questions to several professional coaches and analysts from around the world to get a range of opinions on what we can expect in the upcoming tournament.
There are some interesting takes on who fits into the “top 4” teams at the event, some intriguing dark horse picks, and disagreement about where the LCK, as a region, fits into the global power scale.
Enjoy!
