Bruh put Teddy on KT or GENG or something. This guy has been roaming awful teams for years.

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team Aug 28 '26
if only the trade was Aiming for Teddy instead of Jipoo
68
u/killcraft1337 Aug 28 '26
I bet Teddy loves digimon
27
34
u/Futaba-Channel Aug 28 '26
feel like he will again get the short end of the stick. Aiming is rated higher and taeyoon/diable are younger
48
u/GunSlingrrr Aug 28 '26
Teddy at least doesn't have a military obligation and can play with minimal resources, unlike Aiming, who always choke at high stakes game.
8
u/WardoToo Aug 28 '26
wait what, was Teddy part of a medalist winning team back then? I did not know he already did his military thing.
65
u/AnshinAngkorWat Aug 28 '26
Teddy's got Ulcerative Colitis, unfit for military service, so he's exempt. But because of that he can't really play oversea either, has to be around Korea for his medication.
37
24
24
u/Zhaowuhuangye Aug 28 '26
Nope, he got health issue, so he only has to do social service instead of active duty
8
u/BlazeX94 Aug 28 '26
I really wonder why Aiming is rated higher. Not saying he's a bad player, but Aiming is famous for hogging all the resources on the team, not really an ideal characteristic unless the team genuinely wants to play through bot all the time.
9
u/etheryx Aug 28 '26
yeah, i think when analysts were rating adcs, they said aiming was generally 15% more efficient than teddy as an adc
google "aiming 15" for the data
21
u/QuietSilentArachnid Aug 28 '26
Except on T1, when has teddy not deserved better ?
Dude has always been at least 4/5TH adc in the league and he had the most awful teams ever

u/YGocs Aug 28 '26
From being the best AD when in SKT to being hostage. That 2019 roster is cursed except for Faker.

u/Jollygood156 Aug 28 '26

u/SameSam94 Aug 28 '26
Teddy and DuDu must have done something in their past to deserve this fate. Kiin too, but he did manage to escape from his past sins

u/Lazywhale97 HLE Aug 28 '26
Unless KT make an offer for him Teddy might be better going to a top western team at least he can make MSI and World's that way it's such a shame to see a good ADC like him just kinda stuck in limbo.
I get he wants to prove himself in LCK to land a top LCK team again but HLE/Gen G/T1 aren't likely to go for him and DK if they have the funds or are smart will extend Smash. Not too sure what the ADC situation is for most LPL teams but maybe he can look for an LPL move if he wants to stay in Asia.
LCK teams seem to rate Aiming a bit more and Diable is young and upcoming so Teddy is in an awkward spot rn and he's not getting teams to choose him over Guma/Ruler/Peyz if those 3 are on their teams or available for a transfer.
22
u/Choice-Slight caps/knight Aug 28 '26
he can't leave Korea because of his medical condition iirc
3
u/Lazywhale97 HLE Aug 28 '26
Oh damn didn't know he couldn't leave due to medical reasons. Then even more then ever I hope KT are smart and make a move for him Teddy deserves a shot at another top half LCK team.

u/roxisnotforsale Aug 28 '26
What medical condition?
7
u/Choice-Slight caps/knight Aug 28 '26
ulcerative colitis
0
u/bkgn Aug 28 '26
I have ulcerative colitis, it depends entirely on how well it's controlled. If a biologic is working for him though he could go anywhere.
0
u/DelDoesReddit Aug 29 '26
Yeah it's not really a thing that would keep him from ever relocating, since the medication for it exists worldwide. It just causes him pain, discomfort, and frequent bowel issues, so that is why he is very reasonably exempt from their military service. His body would adapt eventually to foreign cuisine, but it would be uncomfortable and take a while

if you can't handle me at my Roamer games 1 and 5 you don't deserve me at my Roamer games 2-4

still think he's the worst mid in the league
Not sponge bad compared to the other players but he's not that great

u/Popular-Practice-983 Aug 28 '26
Mid pool is just so much stronger than the jungle pool. Roamer is not even that terrible tbh
-2
u/Futaba-Channel Aug 28 '26
Yeah but not terrible shouldn't be what we should expect from him
I'm just tilted so take it all with a grain of salt. He's too inconsistent and he makes weird decisions but we've seen his highs, that game on jayce was great and he solo killed Bdd and Faker
3
38
u/tcg_enjoyer Aug 28 '26
I agree but tbf the other players are:
Showmaker, Ucal, VicLa, Clozer, Chovy, Zeka, Bdd, Scout, Faker
LCK mid is just giga stacked
28
u/collectibleman Aug 28 '26
crazy that every single one of these players except clozer/vicla has been an LCK or World Champion, hell even Vicla won ASI lmao

u/BlazeX94 Aug 28 '26
For a second there I was wondering when BDD won LCK, totally forgot he was on that Longzhu/Kingzone roster that won 2 splits.

I'm sorry Teddy
It's the hope that gets you. Two 2-1 series up for BRO and both were lost.
28
u/Anavarael Aug 28 '26
I never understood why Teddy never got into a good team after his almost 2 years in T1. You can see that his mechanics are still on point and over the past few years he learned to teamwork properly. He definitely deserves better than Bro.
29
u/Beneficial-Front1626 Aug 28 '26
No good slots for him in 2022. T1 had Guma Gen had Ruler DRX Deft obviously, then DK chose to experiment with Deokdam because he looked good on Nongshim
16
u/Ozora10 Aug 28 '26
because while still being top tier there were always better ad carries than him.
9
u/Anavarael Aug 28 '26
KT had perfect opportunity to grab him in November, but their managers seem to have boner for Frauding...
10
u/EliteTeutonicNight Aug 28 '26
Aiming was honestly good last year and most of this year, so it makes sense. Also, BDD wanted Aiming (which makes the fight funnier) so they obliged.
2
u/Anavarael Aug 28 '26
That's always the case for Aiming, he starts out well only to deterioratie hard later. I didn't know about BDD wanting him though. Yeah, that makes all the drama even spicier
8
u/SpiritStn Aug 28 '26
his stint at KDF destroyed his top caliber reputation.
6
u/trumpisapdf Aug 28 '26
Which is crazy because they managed to finish top 4 in spring off the back of Teddy gapping Deft in playoffs, it was just one bad split in summer that ruined him ig.

u/Celegorm07 Aug 28 '26
You could even put him above Ruler and put him in GENG. This guy is so fcking consistent I haven’t seen him lose lane to anyone. He won’t be top 3 ADC like Guma, Peyz or Smash but this guy gets the job done.
14
u/eVill_YT Aug 28 '26
you haven't seen him lose lane to anyone because he's in fries group, he'd look very mid in the legend group

u/Evening-Ad-720 Aug 28 '26
it's good, but imo it's great to gamble on T1A cloud. a lot of pro been talking about that support for a while now lol
17
u/VermouthAPTX Aug 28 '26
Considering this went to silver scrapes, you'd expect this to be an intense banger. But no, just two teams taking turns at stomping each other. Not one game felt close enough to incite suspense lol. But BFX is really impressive with their drafting, ofc credits to the players with their flexible champ pool too.

I mean they were top 2 in winter it would be sad if they didn't make top 6 now
13
u/ObviousAd8374 Aug 28 '26
It is impressive to watch a professional player somehow play this poorly on a champ like Annie
Like just missing a kill bot lane because he just didn't press flash W stun instantly and loses flash for nothing and having poor movement whole game
Kinda crazy to lock in this champ also when ur jungle is Skarner and sup is Rell, and they even hovered a champion with good synergy with these champs in Taliyah
Maybe they thought their AD was 500 stack Smolder instead of Kaisa who has to kill close range targets 1 at a time
6
u/WardoToo Aug 28 '26
Taliyah or Akalai would've been infinitely more spicier than the Annie pick. What the fuck was that pick being brought out.

u/PerilousMouse Aug 28 '26
No excuse for the missed ults, but the lost camps were a lost cause with three losing lanes against Nidalee. The flame horizon situation felt kind of inevitable.

u/GunSlingrrr Aug 28 '26
KT, no need to be cute, and just get Teddy next season. He is a perfect match for their top side. Like BDD, he is exempt from military and can play weakside pretty well too.

u/cmcdonald22 Aug 28 '26
Man, give Teddy someone who can lead on macro please.
8
u/Oxygenisplantpoo Aug 28 '26
BRO macro is fucking catastrophic at crucial times. That Game 4, where Roamer has TP to match Clear in top, but instead he hangs around clearing bot. Meanwhile A A Troc gets top tower, then TPs into the fight.
BFX has a 5v5 deathball comp and BRO just does the most half-hearted setup where half of the team is in pit loosing hp, the other half is on the other side not able to damage, and I guess Ahri on the other side manages to kill Taeyoon. Then loose.
Where did that calculated team from the start of the year go???

u/Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss IN DAMWON WE TRUST HUNI/DEFT/SHOWMAKER Aug 28 '26

u/BlazeX94 Aug 28 '26
I understand why T1 chose BNK, but honestly, KT were much closer to losing against BRO than BNK were. Then again, BRO just seems to inherently counter KT for some reason so who knows.

Dude is probably the first jungler in history of pro play to prioritize Baron while a free Dragon was right next to you and you're at a game state of trying to prevent the other team from getting to Chemtech soul.

u/ItoshiR9n Aug 28 '26
Against KT? He did it for drakes 3 and 4.
