LCS-spelare att titta på i Spring Split 2024

Vilka spelare är du mest peppad på att titta på i denna kommande Spring Split?

LCS 2024 Spring Split är precis runt hörnet, lördagen den 20 januari, för att vara exakt. Och med den här nya säsongen kommer en ny möjlighet för spelare att sätta sina spår i LCS:s historia. ESTNN är här för att lyfta fram några LCS-spelare att se upp för denna kommande Spring Split. Oavsett om de är en hotshot rookie som vill göra sig ett namn eller en veteran som hoppas kunna vrida tillbaka klockan, vi har dig täckt.

C9 jojopyun

It wouldn’t be fair to start with any player other than the hottest commodity coming out of the 2024 free agency. Joseph Joon “Jojopyun” Pyun was the star signing made by Cloud9 during the offseason as they looked to reclaim their spot as the best team in North America. Despite being the best player in the league, there is an expectation for jojo to elevate himself and Cloud9 to new heights. Despite the turmoil surrounding the Evil Geniuses organization, jojopyun grew in strength as he redefined how he played the game and became more of a shot-caller for his team. Given the caliber of teammates he had at his disposal during the Summer Split, it was on Jojo to pull Evil Geniuses up the standings, within touching distance of a spot at the World Championship. And while Jojo will not have to do as much heavy lifting on Cloud9, the level he showcased in 2023 has to remain if he wants to be in future conversations for the greatest of all-time title.

100T Sniper

Rayan "Sniper" Shoura kommer äntligen att göra sin LCS-debut i helgen när han tar sig an den utan tvekan bästa LCS-toplanern genom tiderna i Impact. Inte för att det fasar Sniper, som hänvisade till veteranen som "tvättad" i en nyligen intervju med LCS-innehållsskaparen David Szajnuk. Sniper kommer att få sitt jobb borta för honom, det är säkert, men den unge stjärnan visar redan den nivå av självförtroende som krävs för att vara en toppstjärna i ligan. Detta drag har varit på väg för 100 Thieves and Sniper. Den nordamerikanska toplanern plockades först upp av 100 Thieves 2021 vid 14, vilket är ett aldrig tidigare skådat territorium för en LCS-organisation.

The last time we saw Sniper play was at the start of 2023 during the NACL Spring Split. This is due to 100 Thieves pulling out of the tier two scene but retaining Sniper, who was bound to get his opportunity sooner rather than later. Where Sniper will need the most work is his laning phase, which ranked near the bottom in most statistics during the Spring Split, according to Oracle’s Elixir. That being said, if you are good enough, you are old enough, and Sniper deserves his opportunity to grow into a star player, but the fans must be patient with him.

FLYG Massu

The second NACL debutant on this list is Fahad “Massu” Abdulmalek. Unlike Sniper, relative expectations are being set on this young man’s shoulders ahead of the 2024 Spring Split. Massu is one of the hottest prospects of NACL, and it was no surprise to see FlyQuest instantly promote Massu over another ADC. Despite FlyQuest Challengers’ shortcomings in the playoffs, Massu during the regular season and in the playoffs. Massu shone the most during the laning phase, with the young rookie appearing near the top on most laning statistics. Massu isn’t afraid to demand resources, as he has proven he can carry his team to victory when given the ball. During his time with Evil Geniuses, Kacper “Inspired” Słoma has showcased that he is more than happy to allow the young stars to flourish and will not put pressure on his shoulders to carry them.
