OK Brion Recruits Midfielder Jeong Ji-hoon ‘Pulbae’… A Winning Strategy to Escape from 0 Wins?
The OK Savings Bank Brion made a winning move to escape from zero wins.
OK Brion announced on the 19th through its official SNS that it has recruited ‘PulBae’ Jeong Ji-hoon as a mid laner for the 2024 League of Legends Champions Korea Challengers League (LCK CL).
Among experts, there is an analysis that although it is nominally a recruitment of a second-team mid laner, in reality, it is a move with the intention of replacing the first-team mid laner.
This is because the LCK is operating an integrated 1st and 2nd team roster. 안전 슬롯사이트
This means that Jeong Ji-hoon, who joined the second team, can be appointed to the first team at any time.
The reason OK Brion’s recruitment is attracting attention is because the current first-team performance is the worst.
OK Brion is currently recording 0 wins and 8 losses in the 2024 LCK Spring Split.
If they lose the game against Guangdong Freecs on the 23rd, they will receive a humiliating report card of losing all of their games in the first round.
As the team’s poor performance, the topic of replacing the team is often discussed.
In particular, the current first-team mid laner Kim ‘Charis’ Hong-jo is showing poor performance, with a KDA (kills and assists divided by deaths) of 1.2, which is the lowest among mid laners.
Jeong Ji-hoon was born in 2004, went through the Dplus Kia Academy in 2021, and played in DK Challengers, the second division of Dplus Kia, from 2022 to 2023.
He performed well in the second division, including winning the LCK CL in 2022 and 2023.
If he performs well in competition with Jeong Ye-chan (“Ivory”), who is currently a midfielder in OK Brion’s second team, there is a high possibility that he will debut in the first team.
