The weekend period was extremely busy in the League of Legends transfer market, particularly in the LCK where some rosters have been finalized. As for the LPL, it is too volatile to report on at this time.
As for the European Regional Leagues, one has to wonder if France’s regional league, the LFL, is trying to compete with the LEC at this rate.
Below is the full rundown of the last three days of offseason roster action:
Ligue Francaise de League of Legends (LFL – France)

Cody Sun (yes, the one that went to the 2019 World Championship) is joining LFL team Elyandra Esport
for 2022, alongside DWG KIA substitute mid laner RangJun. Whether Cody Sun will have revenge for the two losses he had against Rekkles will be seen in the European Regional League circuit.

Award-winning journalist Ashley Kang (Korizon Esports)
breaks that Nuguri is set to take a sabbatical for 2022, discarding any plans of reuniting with Canyon and ShowMaker.
Nuguri and his representatives confirmed it less than 24 hours later citing accumulated stress, especially after spending a year away from his family in 2021 as he played for LPL squad FunPlus Phoenix.

Nov. 21:
Kevin Kim’s (Korizon Esports) translations reveal that tension has arisen in free agency, as DWG KIA and AD carry Ghost have a public dispute with Nongshim RedForce. Both sides disagree on the story:
- According to DWG KIA,
the two parties negotiated on a buyout-free transfer, but NS RedForce may have attempted to pay the player less than his due, and less than what the two teams initially agreed.
- Nongshim RedForce communicated
that DWG KIA and Ghost had refused their offer for a transfer and faced a refusal as the figures didn’t match, calling it a miscommunication. However, although they claim that they notified Ghost of their offer and of their intention to add clauses, they refuted having approached the player after DWG KIA’s rejection.
Either way, Ghost may end up losing massively in this ordeal.
