This week's editorial cartoon is about the LCK Spring Split starting off with the fierce ‘brawl' meta. As the LCK went through a rough time last year, it received a lot of criticism and disapproval from the fans.

Not only did it prove less fun for the viewers, but its results were also unsatisfactory as well. Riot has been adding patches that were focused around skirmishes since last year. This means that the game is changing so that it is more about fighting aggressively from the early phase rather than being cautious till the later phase. These changes are well reflected in the League's atmosphere with the new patches.

Although “announcement” is too generous a word. Maybe “slap-in-the-face” is more appropriate considering the disingenuous manner the message was delivered, via an unfeeling press release. The content of the statement itself felt more corporate than personable. To many, it was insulting.
