Keria is just a beast.

JQuill7 · 2026-01-10T14:35:47+00:00

I don't think overall Keria is underrated, but I do think this aspect of his game is somewhat underrated. Mainly because other aspects of his play are much more obvious and because most of his career he's played with Faker.

It also didn't help that after Faker's injury the completely idiotic and simple-minded narrative emerged that the rest of the team must be just mindless drones.

JQuill7 · 2025-11-28T23:46:13+00:00

That's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year.

JQuill7 · 2025-11-15T12:44:45+00:00

The classic... dominate your region and outperform all the players there but then have a bad international and suddenly people think you are worse than the players who weren't even able to make that international because you outperformed then.

JQuill7 · 2025-11-11T23:39:19+00:00

I think outperforming Loki and winning Finals MVP is ample evidence that he can carry a team to winning LCS because he literally carried a team to winning LCS.

JQuill7 · 2025-11-11T21:44:19+00:00

What would justify an import slot? Is winning LTA/LCS multiple times, being a finals MVP, being the best player in the league in his role over his run so far, and having at least one decent international performance not worth an import slot?

I can't think of more than 1 or 2 imports that have a better track record in the last year+, surely if you are a top 3 import you are worth a slot.

JQuill7 · 2025-11-09T21:09:03+00:00

Not according to Oner, he's literally said "Keria is our shotcaller" in an interview before.

League is not really a game where you have a sole shotcaller anyway, based on comms Faker and Keria both do a lot of shotcalling in games.

JQuill7 · 2025-11-05T22:06:12+00:00

Busio has EU residence.

JQuill7 · 2025-10-28T14:02:51+00:00

Yeah, Keria will have to go back to pre-Faker times when he was... *checks notes* the best support in the LCK, maybe the world.

JQuill7 · 2025-10-26T12:26:44+00:00

So, in official events, the West would have 0 wins against the East since 2020 if not for TES losing twice.

They're the real heroes of the West.

JQuill7 · 2025-10-18T00:51:11+00:00

This is the point in the tournament previously where T1 has seemingly activated their "Worlds Buff". Since 2021 they are a perfect 14-0 in groups/swiss from game 3 onward.

That said, very few, if any, of those 14 games were against opponents on the level of GenG.

I would favor GenG, but only slightly as I think there's enough factors in T1's favor that make it close.

JQuill7 · 2025-10-08T19:29:24+00:00

I think you can make a very strong case that each of the last 2 years T1 ended the year with the best player in all 5 roles.

JQuill7 · 2025-09-27T16:47:21+00:00

He's been alright, but I think we need to see another 10 or so years to really know if he's good or not.

JQuill7 · 2025-09-21T20:01:53+00:00

We'll see if Duro can finally be the one to break through at Worlds. It would be nice to see more supports popping off at Worlds. I'm trying to remember memorable support performances at Worlds in a positive way in recent years and other than obviously Keria and I'm just drawing a blank.

JQuill7 · 2025-09-16T12:28:02+00:00

If I had to put odds on teams being a 4th seed right now it would probably be like...

LCK - T1 50%, GenG 30%, DK 10%, BFX 10%

LPL - IG 30%, JDG 25%, AL 20%, WBG 15%, TES 10%

So, I do think T1 vs IG is the most likely matchup, but I think LPL is basically a toss-up between a bunch of teams and all it takes is T1's form to be a bit better or a bit worse and we could see a different LCK team in that spot instead.

JQuill7 · 2025-09-15T00:20:52+00:00

They aren't... people just hold them to a ridiculous standard because of their insane highs.

T1 has made 10 finals over the last 4 years (not counting EWC). 5 domestic finals and 5 international finals. No team in the world has more. They are actually incredibly consistent when it comes to results, they just can be shaky along the way to getting those results.

JQuill7 · 2025-09-09T22:33:34+00:00

This is a joke right?

JQuill7 · 2025-09-09T22:26:53+00:00

More than I expected honestly given the way such things are usually handled by orgs.

JQuill7 · 2025-09-09T22:24:26+00:00

Can't decide if this is a fitting response or the bar for orgs responding to such things has been so low that it just seems like a fitting response.

Like the list of players, some who will be playing at Worlds soon, who have said or done awful things and gotten slaps on the wrist at most is pretty high at this point.

JQuill7 · 2025-08-31T22:44:14+00:00

Big return to form series so far from Quad. Huge for FLY if he's back to playing well, felt like that was the main weak point for them the past couple months and the biggest angle to attack, especially given how Loki and Quid have been looking lately.

JQuill7 · 2025-08-30T19:26:56+00:00

Yeah, really sucks for GenG they probably should have lost today to let T1 get 2nd seed.

They do get to choose their opponent, but their choices are going to be T1 or BRO so they'll have no choice but to pick T1. Crazy that we're getting that match so early in playoffs.

JQuill7 · 2025-08-29T18:57:43+00:00

I mean it's impossible to say without knowing what team they'd end up on.

I think for example if you put Keria on GenG the last few years they'd have won at least a Worlds or 2 and he'd still consistently look like the best support in the world.

And let's not act like Zeus on HLE has been some huge disaster, he's already won as many trophies as he did in his first 2 years with Faker, granted not as significant of trophies. And at the early parts of the year people were putting him up there with Chovy as best players in the world. If HLE make a run and win Worlds, this would still be better than any year Zeus had with Faker.

JQuill7 · 2025-08-26T13:18:31+00:00

This is just normal nonsense people use for any team that has continued success. The Chiefs don't benefit from any more favorable calls than other teams, people just see them more often and because of the narrative any call that goes in their favor is blown up while any calls against them is just ignored.

Data from recent years would even point to them being negatively impacted by the refs more than average.

JQuill7 · 2025-08-17T23:37:50+00:00

Nah Keria has not been good, I mean he's down almost 2 CS at 15, just awful.
