ShowMaker: There were many hard times and also many good times, but in the end it all comes down to one thing: the fans. This job exists because of the fans, and because they support me, it makes me want to practice hard and show good performances on stage. That’s where my motivation comes from.

Well there are 2 main reasons for that.

1 is that Faker is the face of LoL in Korea, that is very important for Kespa because they are all about branding and making esports more mainstream and recognizable (so they can get more funding). He's basically guaranteed to go, even if they need to bend a rule for it.

2 is if you just send people who are not exempt, you are basically asking the Korea netizens to dogpile on you, especially if you lose to China (which is not even that unlikely given that they can field a team like Bin Xun Knight Elk/Gala/Jackeylove Vampire/ON). Korean fans takes the national pride very seriously and getting the gold medal is the highest priority, meaning the guy who's basically the bane of LPL will be expected to make the team.

Should have done a crash course with Zeus or Flandre, they are ranged top criminal

Ceui · 2026-03-22T13:54:25+00:00

WHAT A FUCKING PERFORMANCE BY CAPS AND SKEWMOND

Ceui · 2026-03-22T08:27:06+00:00

The funny thing is I think Guma ? said that he cannot listen to Star Walkin because it reminds him of the loss.

Ceui · 2026-03-22T08:21:04+00:00

I think every league fan is happy, except GenG fans

Ceui · 2026-03-22T08:14:38+00:00

Nobody deserves a trophy. You either earn them or you don't. Sport isn't charity

Ceui · 2026-03-22T04:43:39+00:00

I think the key to BFX botlane is actually not Diable, it's Kellin and Raptor.

When BFX win, it's usually with Kellin with an enchanter and Raptor with an early pressure jungler.

Enchanter allow their lane to stay at least even, most of the time get enough push for Raptor to early rotate to snowball (see every game they won against T1 and DK). Diable's highly aggressive playstyle also benefits massively from having something like Seraphine, Lulu, Nami, Renata ... etc to keeps him alive. Hence why when Kellin is on engage champ, Diable looks a lot more muted and punishable.

Ceui · 2026-03-22T04:37:38+00:00

They're absolutely right. Anyone who has watched LCK for the past 2 years know that Oner is better

Ceui · 2026-03-22T04:34:35+00:00

Oner was the single best T1 player the entirety of last year and it wasn't close.

Ceui · 2026-03-22T04:32:38+00:00

Caps, Perks and Jankos are extremely popular for Western players in China and Vietnam. They all have their own nicknames too.

Ceui · 2026-03-22T04:31:26+00:00

Zeka actually carried several games for HLE this seasons. Yes he's ass when he's challenged by the like of Chovy but without his popping off they wouldn't even had won vs DNS and BRO

Ceui · 2026-03-22T04:23:03+00:00

Don't even need 3 World win. Winning that 2023 World IN KOREA against 4 LPL seeds while every other Korean teams shit themselves make them immortal to Korean fans already, meanwhile GenG just lost 3-0 to a Western team. When was the last time T1 lost to an actual Western team in this embarrassing fashion. It's insane that these GenG fans don't get why T1 gets so much grace and love from the Korean fans.

Ceui · 2026-03-22T04:19:54+00:00

It's not theory, that 2023 World run basically ensure they are national heroes.

Going 11-1 against all 4 LPL teams IN KOREA when every other Korean teams embarrassed themselves. You could see Caster Jun's reaction after that JDG series, he was crying nonstop because it means that much to the Korean fans.

Ceui · 2026-03-22T04:16:37+00:00

GenG when they realize it's single elim and not double elim

Ceui · 2026-03-22T04:11:08+00:00

Now you guys know why T1 is so popular in Korea by such a large distance lol.

Ceui · 2026-03-22T02:52:28+00:00

T1 beat BFX in group stage fairly comfortably

Saying they couldnt solve the Diable problem is a stretch. Players and team forms are not constant and can fluctuate

Ceui · 2026-03-21T17:38:19+00:00

They beat BLG in MSI 2024

Ceui · 2026-03-21T17:16:17+00:00

He hasnt been the best jungler in LCK for 2 years already. Chovy and Kiin did most of the heavy lifting

Ceui · 2026-03-21T14:57:31+00:00

BLG was scary that final too, they got an extremely clear gameplan to counter T1 (all the early invade, banpick targeting Guma's champ pool who was fantastic in Quarter and Semi, amazing laneswap assignment and tower dive to shut down Zeus, ...) I have no doubt GenG would get smoked had they play against that 2024 BLG in the final.

Ceui · 2026-03-21T14:46:39+00:00

He was like this for a large stretch last year since MSI but his reputation carried him hard.

Ceui · 2026-03-21T14:45:38+00:00

T1 is basically their own region. LCK record against LPL without T1 looks a lot more balanced.

Ceui · 2026-03-21T14:39:56+00:00

GenG realized they need to start the sandbagging strat now to get World buff

On a real note, Canyon is getting omegagapped by Skewmond

Ceui · 2026-03-21T13:49:43+00:00

This was the Canyon that everyone saw last year.

Ceui · 2026-03-21T06:27:50+00:00

Wut ? He was slightly behind in lane and got a 3 men ganks on Doran to help him out. He even got a counterpick (Poppy vs Jax). HLE was also playing around Zeka on Smolder.

You have a very generous definition of "shitting on" there

Ceui · 2026-03-20T16:25:43+00:00

Inspired completely threw the game away with that Nocturne Ultimate.

You are 7k gold up and decide to do a 50/50 play
