• Will the first LCK title of Griffin or SKT be crowned after 2 long years?
Last summer’s LCK season was the first time Griffin went to the final game but had to accept the unfortunate defeat of the Super Team that time was the KT Rolsters.

In particular, in the return match between two teams, the match is rated as the good of BO3 this spring, SKT has almost defeated Griffin. This is a match where all players from both sides seem to have played with 200% of their performance.
Before the finals, Griffin was a bit of an advantage in terms of his own performance against 4 wins. Griffin also has a valuable time to study SKT itself, the tactics as well as the cards that SKT can bring. And after SKT’s match with Kingzone, there were some advice that either they should directly rob them or they would have to ban Faker’s Akali. After a match between SKT and Kingzone members, Griffin will definitely have to consider this killer card during his selections.
On SKT’s side, SKT showed more and more improved coordination through every game, SKT is reminding fans about a brand with their name that has gradually passed over the years, which are phase of total fighting. SKT’s current lineup is a perfect combination of Faker, Mata’s experience with Clid’s youth, Teddy as well as the admonition of Khan’s essential moments. It’s also worth mentioning that there are some mysterious factors such as Crazy preparatory toplaner and especially those who go to the Forest for Clid – Haru. On a beautiful day, when the “Crazy Dog” (nickname for the Korean press for Haru) was released, God knew what would happen to SKT’s front line rival.
