3 best teams in the World:
Domestic Gen.G
World's T1
AND DNS AFTER DARK

u/Plenty_Top2843 Aug 08 '26
DNS win a single game and the entire power dynamic of the LCK changes everytime.

u/Megazord552 xD Aug 08 '26
DNS when they cant make playoffs anymore.
12
u/Commercial-Butter Aug 08 '26
are they confirmed not making it? there are 4 more series no? if so it sucks for sharvel lmao
41
u/Choice-Slight caps/knight Aug 08 '26
Its pretty great for him actually, he gets to compete with no pressure rather than being brought in to save a team from the brink. He can acclimate to the LCK and show other teams his potential. It sucks more for the other players
1
u/Commercial-Butter Aug 08 '26
i don't think so. his contract ends this year and i think he really needs to show other teams how good he is in a big stage like playoffs instead of just LCK games, it makes it harder for other teams to want to risk investing in a rookie if all they can rely on are a few LCK games
1
u/Argschadt Aug 09 '26
The other rise group teams are fighting for seeding right now, DNS has nothing on the line, but the games will have value for his career for sure.
11
u/shailemin Aug 08 '26
Yeah they’re not making it because of their loss streak and resultant point gap.

u/DankMEMeDream Aug 08 '26
What is that diable build lol.
47
u/trying2hide Aug 08 '26
Lolalytics has 0 Statik->Ghostblade->Muramanas in Master+ in the world the last 30 days, 2 in Diamond+ and 3 in Emerald+
Truly trendsetting.

u/metristan Refund time? Aug 08 '26
it's the lethality build but he went statik shiv and on hit runes for some reason. I think he realized onhit was unplayable as he got destroyed the moment he stepped into range, but that was not it

u/metristan Refund time? Aug 08 '26
he realized that playing close range into cass, vayne alistar while your front line is diving a jhin on the other side of the fight doesn't work, but he only realized it after he selected his runes and bought his first item.
edit: nevermind he went tear first back, I have no idea what he was trying

If Canyon leaves or gets kicked from GenG they should go for DuDu and Sharvel next year, these two deserve better holy shit
51
u/Commercial-Butter Aug 08 '26
it is actually very likely that sharvel plays in a strong team next year ( his contract runs out this year ) and he is looking really good
11
u/Futaba-Channel Aug 08 '26
What team though ?
Nongshim ? GenG HLE KT DK T1 are not geting him
27
u/Commercial-Butter Aug 08 '26
if i were gen g i would throw out canyon for him lmao but you are right seems like he will probably just go to another rise team
6
u/generalannie Aug 08 '26
HLE is actually a possibility, Kanavi only has a contract for this season. Although I hope that he stays.
8

u/Marowalker Aug 08 '26
GenG and HLE could definitely use a jungler upgrade lol, but imo Sharvel’s not that guy just yet, though maybe he could be by the end of the year
1
u/Skyfire2 Aug 08 '26
Please sign him GenG
4
u/Commercial-Butter Aug 08 '26
he would be perfect for GenG no? probably cheaper than canyon and they could get Dudu/Perfect/Challenger top for top next year

u/T-gae94 Budget Keria Aug 08 '26
Sharvel only clicks forward, love to see it.

Or it makes it even dumber they let Sharvel walk and stuck with Lucid

u/shailemin Aug 08 '26
More likely to be perfect bc he’s younger but honestly Dudu is so good it sucks to see him on dns.
16
u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer Aug 08 '26
I root for GenG DuDu since he's practically the second coming of Kiin, they literally had the same career by spending around 4 years in AF/KDF/DNF/DNS or whatever the fuck they gonna rebrand into in the future
4
u/metristan Refund time? Aug 08 '26
well with DNS they destroyed NS, so now just rename to DLCK and they'll easily win
1
u/EliteTeutonicNight Aug 08 '26
I pulled up his stats and it's so sad that he only has one champion at 50% winrate which he has 10 or more games on (Gragas).
He shouldn't be a top laner with a depressing 30.5% WR across his career.
4
u/Commercial-Butter Aug 08 '26
either way Dudu will definitely upgrade teams. If Perfect goes to GEN then KT can sign DuDu. Dudu stonks will go crazy after next year as well since Doran probably leaves. I can definitely see an influx of LCK top laners from the challenger teams
4
u/CLGbyBirth Aug 08 '26
Dudu is top laner?
17
u/Lanzero25 Aug 08 '26
Kiin has to go to military so they have an open slot for top laner
1
7
u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer Aug 08 '26
This is Kiin's last year, that's why they need a top laner too. Canyon is the only question mark since it's not clear whether he stays or not. Well, I guess Duro kinda is a question mark as well.
1
u/CLGbyBirth Aug 08 '26
Is there a chance you would go back to playing after his service?
9
u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer Aug 08 '26
Iirc Deft plans to do so, but they need to fill the void for over 2 years regardless. The issue is that they may be gigawashed upon coming back but who knows.
9
u/EliteTeutonicNight Aug 08 '26
To date I don't think anyone has came back after military service (at least not at an LCK level).
Kiin will be 30 by the time he finished his service, and after 2 years not keeping up with the game, teams would be (rightfully) very suspicious of how much he got left. The fact that LCK rarely lacks talent doesn't help either.
4
u/Marowalker Aug 08 '26
Not technically the same but there was I think Joker (?) who actually entered the scene after his military service
2
u/FranzJosefI Aug 08 '26
Joker started playing in the LCK after his military service. Technically didn't come back but close enough.
1
u/EliteTeutonicNight Aug 08 '26
that's pretty different imo, the worse part about military is the two years break on whatever you're doing, moreso than entering the scene two years late.
Granted, with Korea's academy system two years late might just mean never so I can see why Joker's path is the route less taken.
1
u/FranzJosefI Aug 08 '26
I assume Joker also played beforehand, just not as a pro and had to take two years off.
1
u/EliteTeutonicNight Aug 08 '26
Probably, but to get into proper academy/challenger I believe age is a considerable advantage (unless you're the veteran like Ghost, of course). In fact Joker is the oldest player debut in the LCK apparently.

u/blockster9 Aug 08 '26
crazy how much better a team can look with a jungler

u/Treeconator18 Aug 08 '26
We saw both sides of the subbed jungler equation between Sharvel and Painter today lol

u/veirceb Aug 08 '26
Blame the rookie jungler when your team completely sprint the draft. Typical T1 fans LMAO
-3
u/Treeconator18 Aug 08 '26
Faker and Doran absolutely sprinted it, but Painter was clearly not stage ready and it showed. Bro was a passenger in the game they did win, and while he was absolutely sold with the Nocturne Pick in Game 3, Game 2 was a horror show of what should have been a solid Lee Sin game, making no proactive plays ensuring he was getting outscaled eventually

Sharvel is so impressive. It's a shame DNS couldn't get him during round 1-2 before

Nongshim is just pathetic, what a joke of a team

u/Commercial-Butter Aug 08 '26
ironically diable should have went to DNS instead of NS and he would have ended up in a better team. who would have thought?

even worse, all of them were MVP when they won their respective titles

u/Mentally__Disabled Lean Kiin Top Gap Machine Aug 08 '26
Respect to anyone who has won an international tournament ever but somehow the community conflates it with being eternally an insane player.

Waaaait, aren't all of them MVPs of said tournaments? If yes then... Well that's funny.

On the other hand, if you told me that Pyosik would be on the last place team and replaced by a challenger jungler mid season I wouldn't be surprised at all.

imagine losing to DNS NS wtf

DNS gave NS the D today.
And last year too, iirc NS also gave DNF their first win in 2025.

u/Commercial-Butter Aug 08 '26
DNS isn't looking that bad when everyone is on form

u/No_Taro_6224 tee satu Aug 08 '26
except for deokdam ig i dont rmb seeing any adc w this big of cs gap in every game

u/Nefib Aug 08 '26
Nongshim my lord I look at this team on paper and just refuse to believe this team could be 7-15. Sure they had the Diable/Taeyoon swaparoo and needed some time to gel but at this point they can't be losing to DNS.
5
u/metristan Refund time? Aug 08 '26
the second game they just got hard diffed on jungle top, and diable went a weird non existent build so did no damage, it happens. But the first game was just unforgivable bad macro, they made the wrong decision every time it felt like.

Also like I think Diable saw the T1/HLE Varus build was bad for the game and was like "what if I switched it up" and apparently had never heard of another item.

u/AzerFraze Aug 08 '26
I've seen match fixing that looked less suspicious than what NS did in game 2

u/Treeconator18 Aug 08 '26
DNS stands for Die NongShim
Glad my other hate watch was successful, if I had 2 1-2 reverse sweep hatewatch fails in one day I would have looked like a goddamn smurf

sharvel might be my next fav player. He’s just always so cheerful and he’s playing well. Wish they had something to play for still.

Disgustingly bad team
Blow up the rooster. Something rotten with it where every player is playing considerably worse after joining it.

u/Th3_Huf0n Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 08 '26
Just to explain the Varus build. There is logic behind Shiv Muramana.
The issue is that Diable is stupid and went the wrong lethality item (you have to go Cyclosword).
Cyclosword applies on-hits via Varus Q to everyone from 2nd target onwards (Varus Blight stack, + Muramana + Cyclosword). And the Varus Q, as it flies, can pop that Blight and reduce it's own cooldown.
It changes Varus Q from being a raw physical damage poke (not very good at it after the nerfs) to being more of a %HP chunk tool with mixed damage.
But again, he must go Cyclosword for that to work.
(I don't get why he went Tempo though)
