My LCK Spring 2019 Team Tier List

1. Griffin

The best teamfighting team in the LCK. Powerful mechanics and some of the best new players in the world including Tarzan, who I believe is the best Jungle player in the world.



2. SKT

Boasting a powerful new roster backed by Faker and Mata, the new 2019 SKT has easily the most proven stacked veteran line up in the LCK this split.



3. Damwon

Although Damwon is new to the LCK, look out for their powerful young line up of solo queue superstars especially in their top side stars Nuguri/Canyon/Showmaker.



4. kt

Although kt has the strongest top/jungle/mid trio in the LCK this split, their bottom lane duos still have a lot to prove on the big LCK stage. Smeb and Bdd seem like a more experienced and stronger version of Nuguri and Showmaker, but will they be able to carry their bottom lane?



5. Afreeca

Boasting the new aggressive mid laner Ucal, Afreeca has once again brought a talented main roster to the table. However, Jelly doesn't have much experience and before Afreeca prove to me that they can play around their aggressive mid laner, I can't rank them higher than 5th.



6. GenG

GenG had an impressive performance at the KeSPA Cup, but I'm still not convinced they can make it into LCK Spring playoffs this year. Cuvee has been struggling a bit, and it feels like GenG rely too much on Ruler carrying in the late game. If they can't find more consistent threats within their roster I believe enemy teams will focus on shutting down Ruler and win the game.



7. KingZone

Kingzone this year feels like they got the bad end of the off season roster changes. Their old star studded roster is now changed to a roster of multiple former sub players and players that have been struggling a lot recently(Pawn and Tusin). That combined with their poor KeSPA Cup performance forces me to place them 7th this split.



8. Hanwha

Although Hanwha had some great new pickups from the off season(Moojin and Tempt) the rest of the line up is relatively poor. Also, Moojin did not play in the KeSPA Cup which raises more questions, and Bono did not play very well.



9. SandBox

Sandbox feels like Griffin... except 3-4 tiers below them and they don't teamfight well. They have a strong jungler in OnFleek, but the rest of the team struggles to stay on his level. They also BARELY made it into LCK defeating weaker teams, and they didn't look too strong doing so.



10. Jin Air

Although Jin Air has some familiar names in Lindarang, Malrang and Stitch, the rest of their old line up in addition to their new pick ups are very underwhelming. Jin Air is not a terrible team, but unfortunately this split it feels like every other team in the league is better than them.
