Who is Easyhoon? Sorry I've been away from league for months, what is up with this?

It's because SKT has 7 players, and chose to bring Easyhoon with them to MSI. He's the second mid laner of the team and I believe he's playing instead of Faker because of various strategical reasons.

This. Faker has an aggressive playstyle . Easyhoon has a somewhat passive playstyle so they transverse between the two depending on what team they're going against

Lol because Faker gets camped every single game.

the real reason is because they cant have sister team anymore but they can have like 8 players to a team as subs.

Faker plays assassin style champs like Azir, Zed, Ahri, Cass, etc. While Easyhoon plays more sustain/farm champs like Vlad, Xerath, Lulu, Jayce, etc. So they play to the style of each team. Also gives them the ability to throw the other team off completely. You do research on how you're going to counter Faker in lane, then they put Easyhoon in and you're lost.
