Prominent League of Legends LCS top-laner is back and staying with 100 Thieves for 2 more years. Kim “Ssumday” Chan-ho has always been a shining star for the 100 Thieves LCS roster and has always been a star who can guide the team to victory!
After a decent re-bound split where 100 Thieves built their LCS roster from the ground up, this team looks to push even further with this announcement, saying that Kim “Ssumday” Chan-ho, the all-star top-laner of the LCS is going to stay with 100 Thieves through 2022. Amazing news considering Kim “Ssumday” Chan-ho was benched partly through the 2019 summer/spring LCS season, due to roster issues. Clearly he holds no grudges or ill-intentions towards his teammates or coaches.
The tweet from 100 Thieves that Kim “Ssumday” Chan-ho was to remain their top-laner came out May 29th. Now to many, this news may not come as a surprise considering 100 Thieves would likely do everything in their power to keep such a powerful and outstanding top-laner on their roster; however the length of the contract may be surprising to some, as it means Kim “Ssumday” Chan-ho has at the very least six more splits with the organization.
To make things clear as to why he signed on for so long, Kim “Ssumday” Chan-ho in the Twitter video stated that he wants to become the face of 100 Thieves, or more specifically the face of 100 Thieves League of Legends; Kim “Ssumday” Chan-ho, in essence, is attempting to become a franchise player, comparable to that of Bjergsen and his long time position as TSM’s midlaner.
Overall, this news is very exciting for 100 Thieve fans as it means their best player and arguably the second-best top-laner in the LCS is staying with the organization for a long time and on top of that he is actually eager to stay with the organization as he is looking for a home and a place where he can be recognized.
One downside to this news, however, is in regards to Aaron “FakeGod” Lee, as he was looking like a very prominent and dominant NA top-laner who could possibly rival the best. As it currently stands Aaron “FakegGod” Lee is in the 100 Thieves academy roster; however, with this new contract being established, and Kim “Ssumday” Chan-ho staying on the main LCS team for at least another six splits, its very possible that Aaron “FakeGod” Lee may leave the roster and take another opportunity elsewhere.
