“In order to ensure that fans from non-metropolitan areas, where it may be more challenging to attend live LCK matches, can enjoy the pinnacle of Korean League of Legends, we have decided to hold the Summer Finals in a region outside of the metropolitan area,” LCK Secretary General Lee Jung-hoon explained. “Ultimately, Daejeon Metropolitan City emerged as the perfect choice.”
