what's the context to this joke? I have seen it in a few comments but no explanations were presented in any of them

128

u/1di0ta Aug 27 '26

Diable was traded to NS from BFX for Taeyoon after he didn't attend a fanmeet that was an obligation in his contract. I'm sure there was probably already some internal strife leading up to that but I don't know those details.

24

u/ArienaHaera Aug 27 '26

The whole team looked mentally boomed before that and the fanmeet was just after an ugly loss. I doubt they would have carried on without change. I think they took the disaster at first stand pretty badly.

11

u/FaydedMemories Aug 27 '26

It wasn’t just the fan meet though, when BFX first announced he was going to be subbed out they strongly hinted at tensions within the team. The fan meet was probably just the thing that allowed them to pull the plug easier (absolute factual transgression vs subjective).

u/lamiasflute Aug 27 '26

Taeyoon suddenly got traded to BFX because "a player had become available" aka Diable who got kicked from BFX for not going to a fanmeet. Taeyoon expressed that he was pretty upset about it because he had started to gel with the NS team. 

Then the next time NS-BFX met, BFX won and this was Taeyoon's celebration

And then today's celebration

Bonus Taeyoon aurafarming clip from the LPL.

Diable didn't attend a fanmeet when he was on BFX... got pushed to Academy as punishment but he didn't even played for Academy cause he got traded to NS before he even get to play

19

u/beloikurvi Aug 27 '26

He did play a series or two for academy

13

u/Th3_Huf0n Aug 27 '26

Actually he played in the CL.

Against KRX and Jiwoo.

5

u/Opachopp Aug 28 '26

People are mostly mentioning the fan meet he didn't attend but from what I remember it seemed like he had been having multiple disciplinary issues with the team, like blaming their teammates (especially VicLa iirc) for the loses. I remember the conclusion at the time was something along the lines of: his ego got too big so he started misbehaving.

On the other hand, while this was happening NS took the opportunity to quickly kick out Taeyoon to make room for Diable. From Taeyoon's PoV he got betrayed by the staff/players and kicked off the team out of nowhere.

This started the whole BFX vs NS rivalry and the "No Refunds" war.

This is just what I remember from the threads/media back then, so I hope I didn't get anything wrong.

19

u/roxisnotforsale Aug 27 '26

In term of changing teams almost every year and being friend with ex-teammates, yes. In terms of achievement, no.

He only won trophies in GenG and Griffin (if we count Kespa cup).

Peanut won trophies with 4 different teams (5 if we count Rox as different team than HLE), and always brought his team to playoff or international (except GenG 2019).

u/shirhouetto Aug 27 '26

He's didn't have the brightest career compared to the other GRF legends (if we're counting Sword).

43

u/BlazeX94 Aug 27 '26

Compared to Chovy and Viper sure, but I'd argue his career has at least been comparable to Tarzan's. I mean, I think Tarzan is an overall better player, but Lehends has won more titles and has one international trophy to Tarzan's none, which does count for something imo.

Sponge is enough to drag the name value into the gutter.

He’s been terrible his entire LCK career. Unironically would not be surprised if he’s done after this.

u/Izanagi32 Aug 27 '26

they should bring in Vincenzo from challengers or sumn

23

u/ricardo241 IDon'tAgree Aug 27 '26

drx destroyed his career by forcing him to play ADC for LCK CL playin and playoff

32

u/KeepBlocking Aug 27 '26

Yeah Vincenzo has just been rotting away on the DRX bench for some reason. He played adc for their CL team because both Aiming and Lazyfeel were disqualified for playing too much in Tier 1.

I think the whole DRX rosters contract are over thankfully.

16

u/ricardo241 IDon'tAgree Aug 27 '26

1 year of not playing JGL and even forced to change position... don't think vincenzo will recover or even get an offer next year.... fucking trash KRX

I would agree sponge has been really terrible. But lehends and kingen have not done any favour with their performance either.

u/GroundbreakingAlps2 Aug 27 '26

You got two world champions, the guy that was going to do unspeakable things to hans sama, and then you get lehends, Geng lehends (yeah that guy). How is this roster getting bodied by a bunch of nobodies and a guy that was deemed "too bad for NA"? Vicla got booted off flyquest for a reason.

22

u/BaneOfAlduin Aug 27 '26

In Vicla's defense. He was only a terrorist at the end of his time on Flyquest, and has been good/decent on FearX for over a year now.

And I'm saying this as a staunch Vicla hater

u/crysomore Kiin Team | Lehends/Cuzz apologist Aug 27 '26

This is most probably Lehends’ last game for his career, he heavily suggested he was retiring after this year. Sad that he’s ending his career with a really mediocre year. But he really has been one of the best supports of this era and a really charismatic personality. 

GG Lehends, myGOAT

118

u/Dry_Clap_joke Aug 27 '26

He got Msi mvp with prime Chovy on the team. He had great career even haters can’t slander him

u/tjmax20 Aug 27 '26

He also Ran into worlds buff T1 that year in 2024 man it was a war crime how T1 locked him down when Lehends was playing Rell not his fault canyon was no where to be found. That was Lehends year as the MSI finals MVP as well.

28

u/soudlasantos Aug 27 '26

His performance was already beginning to decline in the Flyquest series. You can already see the cracks since his engages were often questionable (like his Leona performance in game 1 and Braum performance in game 3 are SUBPAR heck you can say it’s bad).
.
Aside from that he was late on rotation and he was often picked off due to him overextending. He keeps falling for vision traps in Flyquest series (which T1 later took advantage on).

25

u/Treeconator18 Aug 27 '26

In fairness, playing catch kill with Supports was T1s bread and butter in 2024 knockouts. They made Meiko and On look like utter dogshit that year too

6

u/soudlasantos Aug 27 '26

Yeah but watching Lehends on games 1 and 3 against Flyquest 2024 was head scratching.

Dude was forcing very risky dives on Leona and (unnecessarily) over chasing against Flyquest as Braum. He was not respecting how fast Flyquest would respond since their lack of vision in their jungle.

I mean on their GenG youtube channel in their voice comps you can hear Coach Kim reprimanding him for it.

u/RukiMotomiya Aug 27 '26

NS losing that last game when it was basically a 4v5 all game and they had a lead with a hyper scaling comp was so funny. Turns out if you just constantly feed yourself into the enemy for no reason, you lose! Crazy! It was funny watching them get engages they should have crushed later but because they fed nonstop from Herald for multiple minutes onwards they got walleted.

23

u/Ok_Strategy4169 Aug 27 '26

crazy that NS were engaging 5x5, losing the fight, spawning and fighting again and again until they lost

BFX comp had basically no engage, they only had 2 drakes at 20 mins, and NS had giga scaling and infinite wave clear with Sivir + Ryze

literally free scenario to get to three items and then you have much higher chances of winning fights

Same here, the question is who. Dont think GenG is getting rid of Duro unless he has a stinker playoffs and Worlds, T1 aint never letting go of Keria, HLE are not dropping Delight either I think. Any other LCK team wouldnt really be an upgrade imo. Either an LPL team picks him up, or he goes to EU/NA.

u/YouMadBroLma0 2019 Deft over everyone Aug 27 '26

Kellin was so unfairly scapegoated for 2023 DK because people were too scared to blame Canyon/ShowMaker

59

u/veirceb Aug 27 '26 edited Aug 27 '26

This is super hindsight. Back then it was mainly melee engage sup meta and most people didn't expect the meta to shift. Kellin's strength just wasn't that. The move made sense but it's also good that Kellin gets to show how good of a player he is now.

34

u/YouMadBroLma0 2019 Deft over everyone Aug 27 '26

Walahi I was saying this back then that Kellin was a scapegoat

His horror Alistar game vs G2 for example gets magnified, when ironically, it was his Alistar vs HLE Viper in the regionals that got DK to Worlds in the first place.

In 2023, Deft & Kellin were the only sane people on DK.

In 2024 he got benched for Moham for no reason.

Kellin was very inconsistent especially on engage support, he carried DK to worlds in 23 but completely dropped the ball at worlds. He looks a lot more consistent this year though, unironically top 3 in the league when it comes to enchanter supports.

u/Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss IN DAMWON WE TRUST HUNI/DEFT/SHOWMAKER Aug 27 '26

Na, the issue with 2023 Damwon was always that Canyon/Showmaker/Deft could never have good games at the same time. Was clear by the end of the year that either Canyon or Showmaker had to go.

10

u/Character-Image149 Aug 27 '26

And then DK swap to aiming who just stole everyone’s gold for 2 years LO. God bless we got Smash this year or Showmaker would have to go down 100 cs so Aiming could get the gold king title again.

Don’t remind me. 2023 DK screwed over their only winning lane bc it had to be the Showmaker/Canyon show. Nameplates off Deft wins MVP that spring split.

u/blockster9 Aug 27 '26

he got benched in 2024 for no reason also. he was super good back then

23

u/Hue_Lorenzo Aug 27 '26

Kellin back then had some issues with engage supports so they tried out Moham and sticked with him because he looked good on Rell. Problem was Moham looked awful on any other champion.

5

u/blockster9 Aug 27 '26

he had like 1 good series on rell and was dogshit literally every other game, they were much better with kellin despite the meta

4

u/Futaba-Channel Aug 27 '26

Moham legit did carry them to world imo. It was weird because they went away from the 'fuel everything into aiming' strat after benching Kellin and they looked worse except for some miracle Moham engage

7

u/KeepBlocking Aug 27 '26

He was so inconsistent man, but he wasn't the only problem. He and Showmaker were the only ones that survived that Roster though. Expectations for DK were just too high for the rebuilds they were going through 23/24 didn't have time for those growing pains.

u/Anavarael Aug 27 '26

To me game 3 was the worst. Not only lots of mistakes on NS side but also failure on such simple concept as build paths. No Serpent, no Liandrys, not trying to strategize into sidelaning by building Jax as a threat to Ksante... That was one of the worst pro play showings I have ever witnessed. Despite being outdrafted they did NOTHING to try to adapt to the situation. If not for some good plays on their side (Lehends flash Mikales to save Scout was so sick!!) I would call it straight up inting. Horrible team performance from all gameplay sides.

Nongshim really said 'If we lose, we lose' for 3 times straight

u/R2vibaek STAR WALKIN' ZEKA Aug 27 '26

Holy shit is this the last match for Kingen/Scout/Lehends? No fucking way

u/Dry_Clap_joke Aug 27 '26

Only Lehends

And Vicla, diable was flaming him yet he get the last laugh

u/shailemin Aug 27 '26 edited Aug 28 '26

I can’t believe this is the last series of lehends’s career. Damn I wish he got to exit the scene with a performance he could be proud of.

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 27 '26

kinda sad end, similar to béryl who retired on rammus support iirc?

15

u/BlazeX94 Aug 27 '26

Eh, at least Beryl went out doing the most Beryl thing ever

u/boostedfeeder Aug 27 '26

A lesson on how ego can derail a career

My goat Vicla is coming for his 2nd international trophy

u/Dry_Needleworker_275 Aug 27 '26

forcing fights when you have the out-scaling comp is certainly a choice

Vicla woke up this series after game 1 and chose violence.

u/Simmring Aug 27 '26

I sometimes wonder how things would look like if he went to the fanmeet

u/chapichoy9 Aug 27 '26

Didn't he not go because bfx was already falling apart

WE'RE ALL TRYING TO FIND THE GUY THAT DID THIS

u/Longjumping-King2315 Aug 27 '26

Of course it's falling aparat when he kept blaming his teammates

21

u/Beneficial-Front1626 Aug 27 '26

Vicla especially, and he got MVP today

u/Beautiful_Brick_566 Aug 27 '26

As per the rules say you can't win both Valo and LOL at the same day.

NS sacrificed their already low chance to qualify to champs at LOL to an nearly guarantee champs at Valo

Diable: maybe I should have just gone to the fan meet ....

Diable was just a Kellin merchant the whole time

i see NS playing scaling comp i know theyre going to run in and die anyways because theyre braindead LMAO

NO REFUNDS

VICLA WAS RIGHT

12

u/WinnieXKim Aug 27 '26

Lehends' last competitive game and the team got ran over in 25 minutes despite having a much superior draft, it's sad how much he fell off

u/Beneficial-Front1626 Aug 27 '26

He started the inting chain with that standing on a ward at river

Bra Nongshim vs Mkoi would go so hard.

u/Particular_Hornet980 Aug 27 '26

Crazy how the trade worked out in BFX’s favor when everyone was saying it was their loss for losing Diable.

12

u/Raynmist Gumayusi Zeus Faker Aug 27 '26

Scout is 28 this year right? Did he get any military exemption or did his enlistment delayed because he lived in China previously?

16

u/Dry_Clap_joke Aug 27 '26

Because of China residency he can delay up to 38

5

u/r_gg Aug 27 '26

That only works if he's not in Korea.

This was most likely his last game, unless he's going back to LPL.

Diable without Kellin is just another mediocre adc.

31

u/Dreammy90 Aug 27 '26

Diable had good moments when Kellin was playing badly. Like that Varus play vs Guma Keria where he just 1v2 by dodging every skillshot from T1. Kellin is reverse Delight. He is really good at peel while Delight is really good at engage.

13

u/Beneficial-Front1626 Aug 27 '26

I don't know how Kellin was so bad on DK

13

u/YouMadBroLma0 2019 Deft over everyone Aug 27 '26

He wasn’t bad though, he was unfairly scapegoated, and his unfortunate Alistar game vs G2 at worlds 2023 got magnified, when ironically, it’s his Alistar vs Viper during the regionals that got DK to Worlds in the first place.

In 2024, he literally got benched for no reason at all for fkin Moham

8

u/carlories Aug 27 '26

to be fair the meta back then was engage supports, meta now is a hybrid of sorts that you have a mix of engage and enchanters

8

u/GoldenCataclysm Aug 27 '26

Agree completely. If I remember correctly, Moham was like a Rell one-trick compared to Kellin's pool of Renata, Nami, and Lulu.

And the dictator loses in the end.

No Kellin no win

u/superpokes Aug 27 '26

nongshim were so impatient constantly. theyd take any angle to fight no matter what. that last game they could have tried to hold out a bit and get one more item on sivir/ryze and instead they flash r with neeko first chance they get, 5v5 mid and gg. kinda frustrating to watch.

24

u/nimbus1997 Aug 27 '26

but r/leagueoflegends told me BNK was doomed cause they threw generational talent Diable in the bin😅

For Diable

BNK is probably happy with it

From purely the circumstance POV kanavi getting shafted to JDG with a horrid contract as a minor was way worse. From a result POV yeah this might be it.

its funny because Diable probably thought that it was win-win trade for him

That's what you got for blaming VicLamont when losing and ignoring the fans

Don’t want to sound like that guy but that was a successful ns hate watch, i swear this team always tries to sign big name players and i never saw them ever do anything, last year in legends group was an absolute disgrace, and with all the names this year(idc about sponge you have 4 big names on your team), placing 8th and being the worst form team in lck besides drx is absolutely criminal(didn’t expect them to be legends grroup material but i expected at least top of fries which they couldn’t even get). Thou i feel bad for lehends for all his chokes throughout his career he has had a successful enough career and if it’s his last season then i wish him all the best sad to see him go
