13. J-Team

Qualified via

LMS 2019 Summer Champion

Roster

Top – Hsu “Rest” Shih-Chieh
Jungle – Chen “Hana” Chih-Hao / Chen “REFRA1N” Kuan-Ting
Mid – Chu “FoFo” Chun-Lan
ADC – Chen “Lilv” Chin-Han
Support – Lin “Koala” Chih-Chiang

How they got here

The spiritual successors to the famed LMS team Taipei Assassins, J-Team started the season slowly just like their fellow LMS representatives. They finished third in the regular season with an 8-6 record before bowing out in the first round of the spring playoffs.

Because of these middling results, ownership made a decision to change coaches, promoting Hu Yao-Chih from J-Team 2 to coach the main roster. The results were staggering, as J-Team improved to 12-0 in the regular season, ending up as the first seed in the summer playoffs. There, they dispatched of AHQ in a 3-1 series win to claim the 2019 LMS Summer Championship.

Player to watch

Their long-time mid laner FoFo, who put up one of his best statistical years ever in 2019 with a 6.29 KDA. This is well over his career average of 5.38.

Best case scenario

Like AHQ, they’re already in the main event. However, there are a lot of question marks on this team, particularly in the jungle. Best case is, like AHQ, they tread water and go 2-4 or 3-3 if they get a good group draw.

Worst case scenario

Also like AHQ, if they get put into a tough group they might not win a single game in the tournament.

Prediction

They get in a tough group, but they pull off one or two wins against an over-confident Western team (probably Liquid). They don’t make it out of groups, but they spoil the chances of someone who could have.
