C9 considered signing Tarzan, a South Korean jungler who played for LNG team last season, at the beginning of the transfer period, although replacing the team's jungler Blaber was not the highest priority. Even after signing Thanatos from the DK second team before, C9 still had the possibility of signing Tarzan. They just needed to help the Korean player Berserker in the bottom lane to obtain a green card for the United States. But in the end, Tarzan chose to join WBG team in the LPL region.
In addition, C9 also considered signing Perkz, a former G2 mid/AD player, and had him play as the top laner. But towards the end of the transfer period, Perkz announced on his personal social media that he planned to take a break for a while.
The European team GX was very busy during the transfer period, considering changing players in both the top lane and support positions. The Korean support player IgNar had the possibility of returning to the North American NRG team during the transfer period, so GX tried to sign the South Korean top laner Canna from the DK team last season, and the former MAD Korean top laner Chasy was also considered. In addition, because they were trying to sign a Korean player for the top lane, GX also considered signing a local support player. But in the end, GX chose to promote their second team's top laner to the first team, and IgNar also stayed with the team.
The European team KC's primary goal during the offseason was to promote their second team's mid laner Vladi to the first team, but when there was a disagreement on the contract length, KC considered signing the former 100T mid laner Abbedagge, but the latter preferred to compete in the LFL French league rather than the LEC. In the end, Abbedagge joined KC's second team to compete in the French league, and both parties got what they wanted. In addition, KC also considered signing Boda, an Egyptian top laner from the Arabian league, but the deal fell through in the end.
During the offseason, the European team SK tried to sign Loopy, the former DK second team support player, while signing Rahel, the former DK second team AD carry for the bottom lane. But Loopy eventually joined the LLA league in Latin America, and SK ultimately signed Luon, the former NS second team support player (formerly known by the ID:
Zven has shown high level performance in both the ADC and support positions. He has won LCS championships in both positions. During the offseason, he considered the possibility of coaching and had discussions with Fly Quest about the possibility of becoming their coach. At the same time, Fly Quest was also in talks with their current assistant coach Mithy.
In the end, Zven accepted the offer from Dignitas and joined the team as an ADC.
