These two names are also very noteworthy in this transfer window but are still maintaining a quiet demeanor.
On the morning of November 16 (Vietnam time), a slew of transfer news sent the League of Legends community into a frenzy. From the LCK, teams rushed to announce player departures. Notably, DWG KIA bid farewell to Khan as well as the core trio Canyon - ShowMaker - BeryL. While Khan's situation has been anticipated for some time, the uncertainty surrounding the trio's contract renewals has caught many off guard.
Moving on to the LEC and LCS, the most notable development is the legendary European ADC Rekkles joining Karmine Corp. This is the former team of top laner Adam (Fnatic) and currently competes in LFL - the European tier 2 league. This transfer came as a shock as Rekkles is known as one of the best ADCs in Europe. Joining KC likely marks the twilight of Rekkles's career, although competing for titles in the upcoming season will prove challenging.
However, even as T1 'joins in' on the wave of player farewells with the near-predicted departures of Teddy, Cuzz, and Hoit, one name remains without any information to date despite his contract expiring. That name is the 'Demon King' Faker. On Leaguepedia, Faker's contract extension has not been announced. In theory, he is now a free agent. However, perhaps due to ongoing contract negotiations between him and T1, there will likely be no updates regarding Faker during this period until the situation unfolds.
Another name that has the League of Legends community on edge is within the LPL region. While other regions are ablaze with transfer activity, the LPL remains relatively calm despite players like Doinb, TheShy, Rookie... reaching the end of their contracts (November 16). This is not to mention the numerous teasers about blockbuster deals in the LPL, further adding to fans' anxiety.
Nevertheless, it's likely that T1 will soon make an announcement regarding Faker's situation, and the LPL will also witness explosive blockbuster transfers. This transfer window promises to be the most surprising in League of Legends history. With at least 17 free agents in the LCK alone as of now, the rival LPL region is sure to be equally competitive, and League of Legends fans will simply have to sit back and await the detonation of these 'bombs.'
