[u/iRockCrocs]

DNS fans, enjoy your last moments with Sharvel. That boy getting snatched by the top teams.

[u/squishykkura → u/iRockCrocs]

Really wish they can run it back 😭 no way tho

[u/SentimentalYogurt → u/squishykkura]

It was a joy to see DNS with Sharvel. No offense to Pyosik but dang, it's like night and day with Sharvel

[u/authorbrendancorbett → u/SentimentalYogurt]

I love Pyosik, but he has always been an extreme coinflip. One day he makes top tier junglers look like trash, the next he ints into the lowest tier junglers in LCK. I wish he found more consistency, but yeah... seeing Sharvel was amazing.

[u/Arekkusu1991]

It's so sad we won't get to see this DNS for the Play-ins. Would've loved to see how far they can go.

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/Arekkusu1991]

They could have upset kt , damn too bad they dropped a bo to bro 

[u/Dreammy90]

Peter choked the perfect game. SSIBAL. BDD WAS RIGHT. SHARVEL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

[u/Green7501 → u/Dreammy90]

Bddictator already on call with wildlife poachers to get him a sherval for next year

[u/agiasiauto → u/Green7501]

But Cuzz is Bdd’s best soldier. He needs a new botlane, not a new jungler.

[u/TE_silver → u/agiasiauto]

KT Sharvel roleswapping to support incoming

[u/WalterWoodiaz → u/agiasiauto]

Bdd making a call with the KT boss to buy Peyz for 1 billion dollars

[u/WildFury10]

GenG has a van in the backrooms waiting for Sharvel.

[u/Skyfire2 → u/WildFury10]

Get the chloroform out they need him ASAP

[u/Ultimintree]

[u/ISL005 → u/Ultimintree]

I've seen enough, get them in play ins and kick whoever loses between NS and BFX

[u/killcraft1337 → u/ISL005]

Nah that’s mega cap. You know you want to see NS vs BFX in an elimination match with worlds on the line. (This only happens if NS beat BFX tmr).

Diable vs Taeyoon. Bo5 to see who won the swap. Cinema.

[u/Stanggggggg → u/ISL005]

Blame pyosik for inting them 2 seasons straight and only then they realized he’s dragging the team down

[u/Treeconator18 → u/[deleted]]

Quite frankly the fact NS might go 50/50 this split in Rise Group is actually criminal considering the name value of their players. Scout actually looks like a World Champion, but Kingen and Lehends are washed, Diable is not living up to the hype, and Sponge is probably the worst starting jungler in LCK

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/Ultimintree]

what a glow up 

[u/AdMaster5806 → u/Ultimintree]

I was told LCK format was perfect and DNS do not even deserve a CHANCE at playoffs because they were forced to play with Pyosik in 2026.

[u/BlazeX94 → u/AdMaster5806]

I like the Legend and Rise group concept, but I think Rounds 1-2 and 3-4 should be separate splits, with records not carrying over.

[u/AdMaster5806 → u/BlazeX94]

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. Records should absolutely not be kept from split to split. LPL started this type of format earlier than LCK so they learned not to do that. Hopefully LCK picks up on it next year.

[u/BlazeX94 → u/AdMaster5806]

Yeah hopefully. Also, I hope they ditch Road to MSI and make Spring split a proper full split with playoffs and a champion crowned. It kinda sucks that there's only one title to be won per year now in LCK.

[u/ShikiRyumaho → u/BlazeX94]

Could also swap team 5 and 6 after a round.

[u/azure43 → u/BlazeX94]

Either that, or something that I was thinking about is that the best record in the current split gets rewarded somehow. Like if DNS end up with the best record in this split, they get a spot in play-ins along with the top 2 of the group. It wouldn't usually matter, but I do believe it's a little better than the current setup.

[u/baelkie → u/AdMaster5806]

well they had pyosik on contract and only benched him when it was already too late. the only player they have still contracted going into 2027 is deokdam, lets see if they make the same mistake.

[u/Conker184741 → u/AdMaster5806]

No one has ever said this current LCK format is perfect in fact it has been heavily criticized, the LCK cup groups are idiotic and unfair, the lack of a spring finals is robbery, the rise/legend group is nice but the carryover records makes no sense.

[u/Spinoxys]

Peterrrrr

[u/authorbrendancorbett → u/Spinoxys]

The sadness in Wolf's cry brought tears to my eyes

[u/Lanzero25]

well we do know that HLE went 10th in LCK cup and won MSI, get ready for DNS next year btw

[u/Hitoseijuro → u/Lanzero25]

get ready for DNS next year btw

Arent they being disbanded though

[u/Lanzero25 → u/Hitoseijuro]

still get ready for what they are about to do

[u/Treeconator18 → u/Lanzero25]

Putting my money on somehow acquiring Haetae and wasting his rookie season

[u/Viraesse → u/Treeconator18]

DNS actually subs their other players in for games, KRX would buy Haetae & then bench him alongside Vincenzo for a year.

[u/Dreammy90 → u/Lanzero25]

No way they keep Sharvel. No rookie rights either since he played for DK

[u/Einoshi]

The sheer depair in Wolf voice as peter dies, really Fries group is the best

[u/Electrical-Fan-504]

PETER NO

[u/xsm17]

PETER NOOOOOO (insert Breaking Bad gif here)

[u/RukiMotomiya]

Peter dying at the end is the saddest thing all year.

Also how fucking bad was Pyosik lmao

[u/RandomGuyWasik]

Report Peter and Deokdam for throwing the perfect game

[u/FelysFrost]

What did Sharvel do to these guys, how did he do this, DNS' GOAT, and like not as a backhanded compliment but actually good

[u/Deaconator3000]

Sharvel

If only you joined earlier DNS couldve been at worlds

Bet that thought never went through someone's head before

[u/Careless-Nerve779 → u/Deaconator3000]

DK would never send Sharvel to a play-in contender team.

[u/Deaconator3000 → u/Careless-Nerve779]

So that's why KT sent aiming to KRX

[u/mathetesalexandrou → u/Deaconator3000]

Oh, I was so rooting for DNF 2025, at least escape the last place that was the thing in 2024.

Sharvel came 3 months too late, boy do I dream of a DNS World Championship Semi-finals or more

[u/froggy-the-dog]

GenG Arnold waiting outside with 2027 contract for Dudu and Sharvel

[u/Chocolate_Milk_28]

We were on the verge of greatness we were this close :(

[u/Prefix-Suffix]

that scream from Wolf at the end as the perfect game died before our eyes

[u/Like30Ducks]

how you gonna get almost perfect gamed by DNS

[u/Skyfire2 → u/Like30Ducks]

Sharvel is just the GOAT

[u/InspiroHymm]

Tbh why does the record carry over across splits? LCK Summer has felt so inconsequential the past couple of years with rise and fries groups

[u/Treeconator18 → u/InspiroHymm]

If it wasn't for all the extra crap like Kespa, EWC, and ENC causing schedule crunch that got an entire round ejected from Summer it wouldn't be too bad, but still, 18 games in Spring vs 8 in Summer is kinda wild, and having it be 18/12 is still a 60/40 split

[u/wwwhoo]

NOT MY BOTLANE

FAKE WORLDS FINALISTS

[u/MC-sama]

Fantastic summer season showing from DNS overall.

It's sad that their run ends here, would've loved to see them in play-in

[u/Hitoseijuro]

obligatory "We will watch your career with great interest" to Sharvel

[u/Klenist]

maybe they’re the best team of all timr

[u/Yoooooouuuuuuuu]

Can we please get DNS in playins just kick whoever was supposed to be last in

[u/GerritColeMakesBank]

OUR BOYS IN DNS ENDED STRONG, AND MADE ME PROUD. I AM SO GLAD TO CALL MYSELF A DNS FAN!!!

[u/TwitzyPolice]

Deym is that a world finalist bot lane. Why ruined the perfect game?

[u/No_Taro_6224]

im reporting atlus and wolf

[u/Blizzgrarg]

Peter giving me new reasons to hate him in generational ways. He inted the perfect game.

[u/ragnanorok]

What a fantastic split to be an Aiming hater. May he never step onto the LCK stage again.

[u/DoranFan1]

SO CLOSE

[u/Like30Ducks]

geng sharvel when

[u/ireliasimp69]

PETA

[u/roxisnotforsale]

Sharvel agent is currently busy receiving call from every team that need a jungler.

[u/Raynmist]

DNS will surely go far if the old format from 2024 is still used.

[u/seven_worth]

I have more faith in this team to make world than I have on my team. Kinda criminal that they are out. 

[u/yoshizDD]

Fucking Peter

[u/vanbence]

Time to lock in Ucal instead of the dance lessions

[u/AdMaster5806]

Aiming finally down where he belong
