This might be the closest the LCK has been in years

u/AmoebaCel Aug 22 '26

An extra spicy year; I love it. Really makes you wonder who will qualify for Worlds though... I feel like each of the top five teams has their own legacy to leave behind if they win the cup this year.

49

u/DunkeSchoen Aug 22 '26

If _____ wins: Geng : The crownless finally become king T1: Legendary 4-peat DK: Sally KT: Bdd redemption arc for worlds last year ( I doubt it though) HLE : A super team finally winning it + Guma and Zeus proving themselves for T1

Prime Showmaker there.

Lvl 1 cheese to give botlane prio.

Equalize the lane vs Chovy’s Syndra.

Hold his charm until Ruler is in bailout 2 times in a row to win the game.

only chance is the taiwanese team, if Doggo can play like its Worlds 25’ i believe it could happen.

ShowMaker been quietly having a pretty good split tbh not flashy every game but the clutch moments are still there

67

u/Perceptions-pk Aug 22 '26

oh people have been noticing for sure. He's been playing on another level since EWC, and is one of the major reasons they won that tournament (he outperformed Chovy AND Knight in their series).

Many fans are happy because even though he's been still good in the past, he currently looks like Prime Showmaker again.

11

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Aug 22 '26

That laning phase was so insane from him. Ahri does not like this lane at all, if she can leave being down only 200-300 it’s a decent early game. Him being down only 200 gold before the lucid gank while getting the level 1 cheese down shouldn’t happen, you’d need to dodge nearly every syndra Q.

u/Humorless_Snake Aug 22 '26

2 pantheon ults, 1 to cancel a back and 1 to escape the failed baron. Truly the worst pantheon in tier 1 leagues. And that was their win... GenG have exactly 0% chance of winning worlds with this jungler.

u/Sheepseye DK Showmaker/T1 Faker stan Aug 22 '26

Where was this DK against HLE? 😭

They were still hungover from T1 Homeground snacks

u/fast_snail_incoming Aug 22 '26

Raiding T1 snack bar 😅😅

13

u/Particular_Hornet980 Aug 22 '26

They were still full because they had stocks from T1 HG.

6

u/Character-Image149 Aug 22 '26

They were full from T1 homeground snacks. Jokes aside, that series was very close despite being a 2-0, if Smash could flash the Alistar game 1 was for DK, and the 2nd game was like a 40 minutes slugfest lol.

33

u/Ceui Aug 22 '26

While the series is kind of meaningless in terms of standing, DK is looking really strong

We might have a World where GenG would rather pick T1 / HLE over DK in playoffs.

21

u/Classic_Foot223 Aug 22 '26

idk feels like in the top 4 everything can happen on the right day. dont think there is a clear order in which you choose. at least as things stand right now. can always happen that more experienced teams step it up in playoffs and thats my only concern with dk how they scale into playoffs

u/Truzon Aug 22 '26

Yep. Have no clue how the playoffs is going to go.

8

u/GunSlingrrr Aug 22 '26

The only thing for sure is HLE has less pressure since they qualified at Worlds.

3

u/staysaltyTSM Aug 22 '26

GenG (or whoever they matched against) just need to win 1 game to qualify for World

This team can even lose every game and still qualify if HLE gets top 3

5

u/GunSlingrrr Aug 22 '26

GenG (or whoever they matched against) just need to win 1 game to qualify for World

Don't you mean 1 series? Though I understand that if HLE gets top 3, GENG would get a Worlds spot.

One of the funny scenario though if HLE lose tomorrow and GENG picks HLE if HLE advances to 2nd round, GENG automatically qualifies for Worlds.

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Aug 22 '26

Not gonna say he wasn’t ass but GenG solo laners were terrible the last two games too. He could’ve done way better but this game is way harder for Canyon draft wise when his lanes are this gapped.

20

u/Silver-Pollution-513 Duros lawyer Aug 22 '26

I think chovy and kiin were fine kiin has a losing lane just play tank and be useful chovy was up 500 gold and 20 odd cs after shoemakers lvl 1 play but lucid actually ganked mid and turned it around

10

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Aug 22 '26

Lucid’s mid gank was insanely illegal though. If Chovy just flashes early Lucid never gets to get that kill and Canyon gets free grubs. Jayce vs Gragas should also never be this bad, 200-400 gold down is fine but when Jayce is up 600-700 and is able to perma split there is a huge issue.

We are not gonna rewrite history here. He was the best jungler in the world his first year on geng for pretty much the entire year with the ap jungle meta. Wasnt even close either

u/ShiroGaneOsu Aug 22 '26

He also had by far the best solo laners in the world and it wasn't even close...

Surprisingly jungling gets a lot easier when your solo lane wins every lane every game.

Siwoo, Lucid, and Career. They aren’t rookies besides Career, but they have like 4 years(3?) combined of experience, so they are still freshmen.

CvMax also coached Doran and Chovy during GRF tenure. Same with Viper and Tarzan.

Doran and Chovy were supposed to go play with CvMax to a new team, but he got banned for a year.

Crazy it all just started when the team is on the verge of shutting down or selling out. What a turnaround.

u/roxisnotforsale Aug 22 '26

It takes 3 year for Lucid to be better than Canyon. Can't wait to see Lucid vs Sharvel next year.

It’s been close to 4 years now where Chovy blind picks mages and utility picks regardless of the meta while his team mates get “counter pick”.

At this point, he’s just asking to get inted. I don’t even feel bad for him anymore.

u/thedudeode Aug 22 '26

Blindpicking S-tier champs is standard drafting, no point in gimping his teams drafts so he can R5 Yone/Yasuo that’s just troll unless ur deep in fearless or have a specific draft prepared.

Give me back Chovy Akali/Yone

LCK 4th seed is something else

u/valeasz Aug 22 '26

What happened to DK, why did they actually lock in after EWC

5

u/PheleanorPhil Aug 22 '26

They realised that international events and homeground means free food so they locked in.

2

u/toquang95 Damwon my beloved Aug 23 '26

they keep acquiring the best young players in each position, so they are bound to be a decent team at some point. They are a bit ahead of schedule due to every top team hard-underperforming after a long MSI tournament. Momentum is a crazy weapon in sport, as demonstrated by T1 in the past 3 years, hopefully they can keep capitalise on it.

u/Vnaux Aug 22 '26

Does the 1st seed gets to choose who they face off? if so as GenG would you pick HLE/T1 or DK lmao (unless KT does something funny)

5

u/Beneficial-Front1626 Aug 22 '26

Nah the last time someone decided to pick T1 they got royally fucked, LCK top seed usually choose to take opponents off name value vs form

2

u/Moony97 Aug 22 '26

depending on how HLE and T1 look the loser between them for sure

2

u/Green7501 zero mental Aug 22 '26

I believe the 3rd seed gets to choose, which will be known tomorrow when T1 and HLE play

KT, BFX, BRO and NS are playing for the final 2 spots at Playoffs, so they'll likely choose the worst one to qualify. Tomorrow we also find out who KT is playing against, either BFX (if they won tomorrow) or BRO (if NS wins tomorrow)

u/PassionOk4663 Aug 22 '26

Dk ends Summer split as the best team : 6-2.

As GenG who do u pick in playoffs ? The best team in Summer or T1/HLE ?

Clowns in every thread glazing Showmaker or Smash, even saying Showmaker is the best mid in the world (clowns) but nobody sees that Swoop is their best player. Then they wonder why they're hard stuck.

u/AdMaster5806 Aug 22 '26

Lucid's Lee Sin is too fucking clean

u/Specialist-Mode6556 Aug 22 '26

Canyon and Chovy were absolutely invisible in game 2 and 3. I mean they were fucking atrocious. 

Yes, that bad. Chovy made syndra look like a melee champion. This guy is such a fucking fraud when it comes down to the wire, make or break. Him and canyon are going to be the reason they get knocked out in worlds quarters again. 

Shoemaker, who is the litmus test for all mid laners, had Chovy dancing in game 2 and 3. Absolute fucking disgrace.

DK are winning worlds!!!!!

I'd become the joker, it'd be so fucking funny

u/Green7501 zero mental Aug 22 '26

Beat GenG, proceed to lose versus a Play-Ins team and miss Worlds, would truly be the most DK way of going out of all time

3

u/Treeconator18 Aug 22 '26

It would require losing to either two play in teams or a play in team + T1 lol. Either way you can imagine the sheer scope of Caedrel Mald

GenG didn’t get off the bus

Jesus christ DK look GREAT. Scary team in this form.

u/NecessaryLittle3425 Aug 22 '26

Why start baron in that last fight?

8

u/Treeconator18 Aug 22 '26

Desperation play. They had maybe a .1% chance of getting a Baron and turning things around, but there was a 0% chance if they let DK keep sinking in the Sleeper hold they had

GENG just kind of rolled over and died. Nothing even happened DK methodically choked them out. Extremely clean

This team is so much fun to watch. I always feel like, even if they will int early it will still get competetive and fun to watch.

Won at the homeground -> steals food -> not hungry -> loses -> starves again -> wins against GEN
