Riot Hosts Their First LCK Regular Season Event, Accidental Camera Shot Exposes a Team’s Strategies
January 16th was the first day of the LCK 2019 Spring Season. The LCK had been hosted by OGN until this year, as Riot decided to take over and host the tournament themselves. This makes it the very first day of the first regular season with Riot hosting and they have already faced a disaster; an unfortunate camera angle exposed a team's strategies and drafts. This incident took place when the first set of the SKT T1 vs. Jin Air Green Wings match ended and the second set was about to start.

Untara Posts an Explanation Video Regarding Recent Controversy
Untara posted a video on his YouTube channel that briefly explained his position regarding the controversy he was involved in with bbq Olivers. On January 8th, Untara posted a video on his channel that showed bbq Oliver's new jungler, Malice, pinging excessively at his teammates. This led to LS, the coach for bbq Olivers, posting complaints on Twitter, accusing Untara of exaggerating Malice's in-game behavior to garner views and bullying Malice because he is a foreigner in Korea. Untara, in his defense, responded that he had no intention of exaggerating or bullying Malice for being a foreigner. He also said that he will be taking the video down if it makes them uncomfortable. However, Untara decided against it since he thought he found nothing wrong with it. He provided further details on his thoughts during his stream, which he later posted to Youtube on January 15th; the video briefly explained his stance on the whole situation.
