Faker: “Proven capabilities from Worlds 3-peat, abundance of experience in international tournaments, and believed to be able to add tremendous value from this experience as LPL players are seen as strongest contenders.”

Zeus: “Second time representing ROK, believed to be the most capable of countering Bin who will be the likely representative in the top line for China” - (Article was later edited to remove the Bin reference probably because it’s a bit disrespectful given the Chinese lineup hasn’t been announced yet.)

Keria: “Chosen with no disagreements and absolute acknowledgment of his qualifications.”

Canyon, Zeka, Gumayusi: “Chosen after consideration of other candidates’ personal commitments and intense deliberation by the committee.”

Other sources have mentioned injury for Chovy and ongoing military community service commitments for Kanavi and Ruler as reasons these 3 are not part of the lineup. (Zeus and Keria started their community service 1 year ahead of them).

They planned for it to drop at 23:55 but ran into upload issues and now estimate the drop to be 2:30AM KST.

Fans are outraged because T1 teased a 5/3 upload without a specified time. People have been waiting all day and late into the night with tomorrow being Monday, only for them to drop a postponement notice past 23:50.
