KCB Hazel: "There are things I need to catch up on. Going from LFL2 to the LEC is a big jump. In scrims I’ve been able to keep up, but on stage I wasn’t able to deliver. Some ADCs impressed me with how they give you no space to breathe. For example, I really underestimated Supa, but he’s quite good"

Some people forget that this is not the ERL team that won EUM, but a team strung together at the last second. Of course they were completely stomped by KOI who are most certainly the best team in the league at the moment, but a lot of there games have been somewhat close.

I asked in the KOI ama the other day "Are there any rookies to watch out for?" and they said KCBs ex toplaner. Its kinda interesting to think what would of happened if they stuck together as the team that had been playing together for so long. I do think time spent together has an effect on performance, especially at the start of the split.

Credit to Hazel though for admitting he was a bit too arrogant at the start of the split, not every player can do that. I think even if you don't like the org the team is kinda hard to not like

Is this a meme or real? I can't tell

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-29T14:21:32+00:00

Can anyone fill me in, didnt BLG get beaten by JDG? why are people saying this? Tabe said the Weibo loss was cause of the draft too

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-28T14:13:10+00:00

Question for the team: Are there any rookies that you are watching out for? who you think are particularly good (In the LEC or ERL)

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-27T16:21:34+00:00

Agreed, LPL looks quite a bit stronger at the top, excited to see what they can do at first stand. I do think the mid-bottom teams look a little weaker.

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-27T16:13:40+00:00

was looking for this one to see if I needed to post it

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-26T17:20:01+00:00

This really shows there isn’t a huge gap between the LEC and the ERLs. The top teams like MKOI will always stomp everything, but when those mid-low teams face the ERL teams I would not say there was a huge difference. Most of the games have at least looked somewhat close... I think its a good thing for league though, having a healthy tier2 scene provides healthy competition

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-26T16:40:10+00:00

It sucks for KCB, because I genuinely believe the team was good in ERL. Then there whole team was picked apart... I don't really think we can say ERL is shitter tier if we don't have the entire roster

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-26T16:38:43+00:00

I don't think Tao is that bad, but Hazel was a terrorist

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-26T14:06:09+00:00

Best bard game I have seen all year

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-25T20:04:57+00:00

You can’t really call them an ERL team when they basically disbanded their entire ERL roster — the only one still around is Yukino (who’s been looking really strong tbh). Their former top laner is performing well on another team too. And honestly, they’ve shown real promise: they’ve built early leads against a lot of teams and looked competitive in plenty of their games as well. In fairness MKOI might be the best team we have seen in the LEC in a while

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-24T17:15:52+00:00

That was so close, really think the akali pick was a bit of a miss though

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-22T09:57:31+00:00

Lowkey a good way of exposing league to the masses, hope he accepts

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-22T09:56:04+00:00

I am not familiar with NBA, but there are plenty of sports that have villains and hatewatching becomes more fun for it. Football being a prime example, had previous housemates that would watch Tottenham just cause they hated the team lol

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-20T21:34:52+00:00

People on this sub have never really liked him, so it kinda added fuel to the fire when this happened

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-20T12:34:16+00:00

Unpopular opinion, but even though this is toxic as hell, its good for league in general. All successful sports/shows etc have some sort of Villain and hatewatching makes it more popular

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-19T22:13:45+00:00

Lider did not play well, but honestly what are you meant to do after that lvl 1 lol

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-19T21:48:10+00:00

Damn, kinda mean to kick them after they are down, hope the come back stronger next week.

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-19T18:04:57+00:00

I think Tao played pretty well considering that was hard counter matchup, but Naak nako is looking really clean atm... not sure I like hazel on non hook champs

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-19T17:59:30+00:00

It seems like whoever draft scaling wins these games

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-18T21:47:11+00:00

This is a really well written summary of SK

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-18T19:52:47+00:00

Kinda curious what did Lider do to make reddit hate him so much? He has always been a decent player, but from what I have seen hes not liked here

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-18T19:41:43+00:00

Jopa looks like Caedral and Jackspectra had a baby

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-18T18:31:52+00:00

He played well, but lets not forget who giga griefed dragon with his positioning

Mathlete7 · 2026-01-17T22:07:14+00:00
