What a terrible team name, no creativity, nothing there. Samsung...white....

I feel bad for Riot to have to make these skins this year.

The sponsors have no respect for their team or this e sport requiring a mediocre name like that.

0 Creativity

Insert "Large Mobile Phone Company" + the most bland color possible

You don't see team

"Mcdonalds Red"

"Toyota Silver"

"Pepsi Blue"

These teams don't exist for a reason. Korea congrats on your win but give your players and teams some creative mind. Let them represent themselves. And stop using teams as a massive billboard for a product that has nothing to do with the e-sport. Take a note from teams like Cloud 9, TSM, even Royal Club

They clearly have their own unique team name with some fun around it and still represent their sponsors without having to virtually post it over their face.

smh

It's the name they'll struggle with; using Samsung, although they sponsor the team, may gain them ire from other companies hindering future sponsorship, and Samsung as an entity might object to the use of the Samsung copyright in such a way (although there may be some clause in their contract regarding its fair use for such purposes).

This leaves us with two naming conventions; Samsung [Champion], White [Champion], Samsung White [Champion]. Frankly two of these sound kinda racist.

Champ-wise, i'd i'd like to see;

Twitch, Braum/Thresh, Ryze, Jayce and Rengar.

Aside from Twitch, none are exactly swimming in skins, and they all played a role in the final at some point.
