South Korean and Cloud9 talent Park "Summit" Woo-tae is looking forward to facing fellow top laners from his native country in the LCS this season but does not believe there are "a lot of good top laners left" in his home country in the LCK.
In the LCS Spring, Cloud9 are 8/11 to win their next contest against Team Liquid, who are 1/1 to prevail.
"Summit" was speaking about his new division - North America's LCS - having moved to Cloud9 in November 2021.
And his team have made a surprisingly strong start to the campaign, going 2-0 in the opening weekend of the regional event with wins over Golden Guardians and Evil Geniuses.
