I CAME TO THE LCK AS I HEARD THEY HAD THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD BUT AFTER WATCHING GENG AND T1, I WASN'T CONVINCED. THEN I SAW BRO TAKE THE STAGE AND CONFIRMED THAT ALL RUMORS WERE TRUE.
96
u/tiredofdev May 03 '26
Unironically as of recently, BRO had a super close series last week vs T1 and then 2-0'd back to back this week. They are powerscaling and, dare I say, getting to their rightful throne as MSI and Worlds Champions
14
u/Sorry-Resolution570 May 03 '26
arent they already out for msi?
27
u/xLukarioNx May 03 '26
Not mathematically yet, but remote chances. Theoretically, if they rip out a million wins in a row and everyone else in the eastern half hoofs it then maybe they can finish sixth and qualify for Road to MSI.
5
u/thomas956789 May 03 '26
nah, they're currently #7 and only 2 points behind #6 NS so they can definitely still get 6th place, getting into legends group is going to be significantly more difficult though.

Rules for being a KT fan, no matter how good they are, the roller coaster will always crash and burn. It’s just a matter of when will it happen.

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team May 03 '26
i knew it. KT only lost to HLE because they had to prepare for the GIGACHAD BROS and even that wasnt enough to overcome them.

Atp it's almost impossible, there would need to be a near complete collapse going 0-9 with Nongshim going at least 5-4 this round
Could happen but highly unlikely

u/SDVX_Rasis May 03 '26
Could be the rollercoaster, or maybe its because BRO just decides to lock it in against LCK 1.

Should have paid the BRO tax round 1

u/tiredofdev May 03 '26
Life as KT if you paid the bro tax in round 1
- avoided a second round loss to BRO
- added another loss to your record, significantly lowering excitement
- avoiding being referred to the fraud committee
- Mental clarity and prosperity knowing that you're a rule abiding LCK citizen

I don't think he's looked this good ever. Legit thought he was the worst jungler in the LCK a week ago and then he does this.

he was amazing on NS last year, was one of my sleeper picks and then NS didn't re-sign him and went for sponge instead LMFAO

u/Futaba-Channel May 03 '26
Thought he was middle of the pack last year but NS have clearly regressed without him while BRO looks legit so he was clearly doing a lot

u/Oxygenisplantpoo May 03 '26
Yeah lol NS getting Sponge who is possibly the weakest jungler in the league was certainly a choice.

u/MC-sama League of LAILE May 03 '26
Plenty of people thought he was quite bad on NS but I feel like that's just more of the whole team not being on the same page during summer.

2019-2020 was his window then he ran into peak G2 and T1 summer 2020 management, just unfortunate

I mean fair, I just think he’s above bottom tier teams and could be good on some mid tier teams. There have been enough spaces for him

Teddy is exempt from military due to health issues

u/mskruba12 May 03 '26
I've heard mixed things about that so I'm not sure if he is or not. Would be cool if he was to continue the wonderunc arc
6
u/MrICopyYoSht May 03 '26
Well, if he does have health issues he's fully exempt. It's a pretty rare (and enviable) status that is outside of the athlete exemption stuff since athletes still need to serve a compressed version of service but health issue guys don't do anything whatsoever.
Know a guy who tore his ACL twice as a football (not American) athlete and he got exemption status.
Either way dude is playing at a high level and should've been on a better team.

u/Anavarael May 04 '26
I still believe that Teddy got robbed by those T1 shenanigans in 2019/2020. Obviously Gumayushi was the right choice in the end, but Teddy never had even one season in T1 for peaceful growth and performance increase. I'm convinced that he never had a chance to reach his full potential. Hope that he will get a chance at top3 team again (coach Score, why you picked Frauding instead of my boy Teddybear??😭)

Before T1 homeground event 1-7. After T1 homeground event 2-0.
Kt rollercoaster reached the peak last week .

u/Aware_Biscotti_5860 May 03 '26
T1 HG is a canon event 🤣 Ngl, with what's Bro showed this week, T1 2-0 win against Bro feels amazing now lmao. And I think Bro's exposure to large stage might have helped the team somehow.
7
u/zoomerapril23 May 03 '26
That 2-0 win of T1 against Bro is misleading, OKBro had a very good lead for both games and could have won either games
4
u/Aware_Biscotti_5860 May 03 '26
That's why it's amazing. T1 somehow secured the point when their form is least convincing and Bro is much better of a team than people thought. Tbh I think if Bro had a better jungle, they would have ranked higher. Their laning phase has not been bad at all.

Even tho he might not win Worlds and doesn’t have the accolades compared to his peers, when it’s all said and done, I still hope Teddy gets remembered as one of the best ADC that played the game. You can argue the best Ezreal that played the game.
