Emperor to start for Longzhu Gaming

 

Going into LCK Summer 2016, Longzhu is experiencing major shake ups in their starting roster.

CJ Entus Blaze veteran and 2016 EU LCS Spring Split champion Kim “Emperor” Jin-hyun was seen in a Longzhu photo shoot which has since been deleted. However, you can still see the post through the web archive (he’s in the back with red hair). He has since been confirmed to be the ADC for the team.

Now that may seem strange, as the team already has 2 other players filling that role; would they really take on a 3rd? Well we didn’t have to wonder for long as both of those players, Gang "Cpt Jack" Hyeong-woo and Lee "Fury" Jin-yong, are taking a back seat for the upcoming season. Fury will be a sub and Cpt Jack may potentially be moving to a commentary position.

Both Cpt Jack and Fury played well before, no doubt, but Emperor could bring a whole new level of exceptional mechanical skill. If things go well, Longzhu could see themselves facing off against the big three in Korea. If things do not pan out, Fury and Cpt Jack are still currently with the team, and they could make a return in a pinch.
