One of the oldest champions in League of Legends made a fairly rare appearance in professional competition earlier today, and it went about as well as you'd expect.
FAKER PLAYS A BIT SHAKED VS GEN.G | LCK 2024 #lck #faker #t1
In the 2024 LCK Summer Split match between Hanwha Life Esports and OKSavingsBank BRION on August 8, BRION top laner Morgan Nasus closed out. This was Nasus’ first time playing in the LCK in 1,251 days, according to the official LCK broadcast. The last time this League champion graced the LCK stage before today was in March 2021.
Trailing 1-0 in the best-of-three series, BRION's (2-12) Morgan appeared to throw a curveball at the 11-3 HLE with the final pick of the draft. And things started about as well as they could have for Morgan's Nasus when he picked up a solo kill for first blood on Doran's Kennen three minutes into the game.
But from that point on, the match was all HLE. Hanwha Life ended the match in 23 minutes with a 15-3 advantage in kills. Morgan deserves a feather in his cap though: he managed a 2/4/0 scoreline on Nasus, meaning he had two of BRION's three total kills in the match.
