FaZe Clan, NRG, Pittsburgh Knights show interest in joining LCK

North American organisations FaZe Clan, NRG Esports, and Pittsburgh Knights have shown interest in joining the new-look LCK.

They’ve each submitted a letter of intent to apply for long-term partnerships in Riot Games’ Korean League of Legends competition.

A report from Fomos explains that 25 teams have submitted letters of intent to become a partner of the league as it moves away from promotions and relegations in favour of adopting a model much what’s seen in the LCS, LPL, and LEC.

It’s said that all 10 existing teams in the LCK, as well as eight teams from the Challengers Korea league, have shown interest.
