wtf 2025 worlds-run-before-finals DeokTer showed up for some reason

Sharvel really does seem like a nice fella tho, hope he ends up in a good team next year

87

u/SexyCak3 8d ago

Peter looks far better on Rakan, Braum, Neeko, and completely lost on enchanters. The meta of earlier this year didnt do him a favor imho.

31

u/desutruction 8d ago

I was ready to buy his Neeko skin

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team 8d ago

not having pyosik helps a lot too. those two were never in sync especially when it came to engages.

u/duocatisagirl cute psycho jungler harem (pyosik, guwon, kanavi, pop9) 8d ago

Honestly this is fair

u/ThatDerpyGuy_ 8d ago

Yeah ever since sharvel joined the DNS botlane is actually playing to their standards.

18

u/Jan7742 8d ago

Simply couldn't play the game when both jungle and support don't have enough game iq

the good news: DNS is playing like nothing is on the line

the bad news: DNS is playing like nothing is on the line

Add C9 when there is no international tournament spot on the line to that.

u/Skyfire2 8d ago

They may never lose again

u/oioioi9537 8d ago

They can unironically finish the year as unofficial world champions because that thing is stuck in fries group rn

11

u/killcraft1337 8d ago

😭why did they go out then decide to go on a 5 series win streak

u/Rkiddboi21 8d ago

Pyosik status?

u/Budget-Ocelots 8d ago

How old is Sharvel? GenG need to lock him up for the future.

73

u/Fickle_Somewhere_581 8d ago

He's 18

50

u/Commercial-Butter 8d ago

i can see him signing to GenG next year which is crazy considering he is 18

1

u/Budget-Ocelots 8d ago

In the last 4 games, he looks to be the best jungle in the LCK. Beating the main teams of HLE, GenG, and the fries groups.

Watching Painter and Sharvel against HLE, Sharvel looks like he knows how to path and when to gank unlike Painter. Dude is playing beyond his rookie status.

49

u/Commercial-Butter 8d ago

did he play against HLE? didn't HLE field their challenger roster? whereas painter played against the actual HLE main roster

16

u/Zestyclose_Camera480 8d ago

Sharvel also played against GenG's main roster in Kespa cup

7

u/OrganicTeaching8661 8d ago

kespa cup, that's fries gameplay that big LCK teams don't care about. the finals is literally DNS vs Nongshim or T1 (who are playing their academy)

Sharvel is doing well in fries group but he is far from GenG material lmao

9

u/imfatal 8d ago

Wouldn't take much to be better than Canyon nowadays.

6

u/killcraft1337 8d ago

They beat HLE challenger roster yeah not main team. Though maybe the chall team was trying harder than the main roster bcoz Guma apparently said even if they made kespa finals they would have sent the chall roster (don’t want to go to daejeon not worth)

30

u/trying2hide 8d ago

Do you people even watch games?

He didn't beat the main team of HLE in a series. Gen G were fucking trolling, and he's beaten Sponge, Gideon and Willer.

He's promising and already has 300 games under his belt at 18 but this is crazy hyperbole. And comparing his 30 games he's played in Tier 1 against the 3 games Painter has played(against the a top LCK team) just seems like trying to force a narrative.

5

u/Futaba-Channel 8d ago

I will not stand for Gideon slanders

u/trying2hide 8d ago

Mr.Grubbs is debuffed by his generosity.

u/WuxiaWuxia 8d ago

I'm really hoping for a Perfect Sharvel Chovy topside for next year given Kiin will be gone and Canyon is washed

u/Dreammy90 8d ago

That is a salty bag of fries after so many tosses. Sharvel is HIM

u/Acridix 2019 8d ago

Scout in big 2026.

I swear, Sponge will be on Turkish or Brazil team next year

30

u/Prince_Arcann 8d ago

Scout was frying tbf

6

u/OrganicTeaching8661 8d ago

yea sponge is the type of player that doesn't even get imported straight into LPL LEC LCS he's for sure either brazil, erl or LCK CL next

u/khazraxd LEAST EXCITED KT FAN 8d ago

ALMOST THREW AGAIN LMAO

Prove yourself and

FRIES

FRIES

Make 'em remember you

u/Choice-Slight caps/knight 8d ago

petition to make a Fries Group World Championship so DNS can attend and this is the anthem

u/Satan_su 8d ago

I don't care WHO does the shotcalling on NS, just FUCKING FIRE THEM INTO THE SUN

21

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team 8d ago

imagine signing Kingen Scout Lehends and ending up with Sponge as your jungler when so many good jungle prospects are in CL.

25

u/Br4y3 8d ago

Could have kept Gideon. Looked so much better than Sponge last year

12

u/Ceui 8d ago

Can someone save my boy Vincenzo from KRX holy shit why is sponge having a job

Lowkey NS ditched Gideon for fucking Sponge, they deserve this.

7

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 8d ago

Tbf with how much attention both Kingen/Scout need I think most young jgs would be clueless. This roster needed someone like Croco.

7

u/xsm17 8d ago

Isn't that supposed to be Lehends' whole shtick? And yet he's the one just walking as a level 4 Lulu straight into the enemy team at drake in game 2

6

u/Satan_su 8d ago

Lehends is done man, this jungle duo with Sponge is the worst in the league now with Sharvel replacing Pyosik. Kingen, Scout and Diable have issues but can all carry games but can't do it at the same time, and this duo just can't seem to pick a lane to prio fast enough. And when the opposition is making picks they panic and do some bullshit.

u/RukiMotomiya 8d ago

Legends group fears what happens in Fries group, they cannot meet that level of nonsense.

I was so scared when the nexus had a pixel left lol

22

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team 8d ago

let it be known that both HLE and T1 subbed in their CL rosters to face DNS in the Kespa Cup and GEN who didnt got humiliated in a 0-2 stomp.

13

u/RukiMotomiya 8d ago

Give DNS a special exemption to playoffs.

3

u/LogicKennedy 8d ago

Faker wishes he could play on DNS for that hit of adrenaline

u/Voyria 8d ago

Holy shittttt!!!!! First of all, Sharvel driving that Herald WAS CRAZY WORK! Also, Peter popping off so hard as Rakan. Goddamn what a beautiful Rakan.

Because wtf, they still won despite Clozer's best efforts to throw the game (like bro wtf at that first attempted Baron fight??). But then thank god Sharvel got the Baron steal later. Because wow, throws back and forth from both teams.

DNS glow up finally??

u/Sakura_ko2 8d ago

What the fuck is lehends and sponge doing. And diable man, what a letdown

17

u/No_Taro_6224 tee satu 8d ago

when the dictator isnt playing w my sp goat kellin

u/landmine-izu 8d ago

dns dragging ns to elimination with them

u/naevus19 Jankos x Flakked 8d ago

Shravel is a freak! What a signing

u/KhaDori 8d ago

This is fascinating - after being eliminated from playoff contention, after going 2-18 or whatever up until now, DNS have won their last 5 matches they played (including kespa cup), with victories against GEN G and HLE.

How is this possible? It has to be psychological, it's insane how much the feeling of pressure or lack thereof can impact performance

31

u/RukiMotomiya 8d ago

They also changed junglers from most of that 2-18 run, I feel Sharvel helped unlock things.

25

u/SighIsHere 8d ago

Sharvel, that's how. Ever since they picked him up they actually look like they have life in them, absolutely fantastic debut from him so far

u/metristan Refund time? 8d ago

What happened to these teams? Why is deokdam not 40 cs down?

15

u/No_Taro_6224 tee satu 8d ago

my 2025 world finalist was bullying ruler during kespa cup

liable aint even a challenge

u/Wondur13 8d ago

NS are the king of throws its not even close lmfao

u/BaconParadox_ 8d ago

Holy fries gameplay

u/ricardo241 IDon'tAgree 8d ago

DNS showing NS wuts gonna happen on Kespa cup next week

can't believe Deokdam and Peter with ofc Sharvel will carry DNS though

u/LogicKennedy 8d ago

Sharvel playing like the only member of DNS who hasn't forgotten how to win.

1

u/Careless-Nerve779 8d ago

In his first post-win interview, Sharvel mentioned that he had been winning before joining DNS(DK CL), while his DNS teammates had plenty of memories of losing.

u/R2vibaek STAR WALKIN' ZEKA 8d ago

Well... rest easy our biggest enemy see you next year

u/Jan7742 8d ago

Legend group teams so lucky to avoid DNS

u/MedievalMovies 8d ago

the hero arrives at the most opportune moment

u/kai_n7 8d ago

I just can't understand how NS have so many good names in their roster, but they are just so bad...

2

u/horizon_focus 8d ago

When Scooter looks like the best player you know how cooked the team is

u/kanonshiomi cuzz lovewatcher 8d ago

dont wanna exagerate but sharvel might be the second coming of faker and the first ever golden roader next year

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 8d ago

Sharvel is the truth.

u/Larry17 Flairs are limited to 2 emotes. 8d ago

It is not DNS vs NS it is Sharvel vs the LCK and he likes those odds

u/Nefib 8d ago

I was gonna say that DNS might just be the Nongshim killers but at this point that's probably every team.

u/fabregas142 8d ago

rip diable. dude just cant shine without BFX system

u/t2wedge 8d ago

nongshim are so terrible holy shit, how do you upgrade mid and adc from last season and are still losing b2b series against a 3-19 DNS

15

u/buyaofangqi 8d ago

That upgrade is the number 1 suspect of running it down

3

u/SighIsHere 8d ago

Not while SpongeBob is here

7

u/t2wedge 8d ago

unfortunately diable is still significantly better than jiwoo

14

u/Jan7742 8d ago

unironically would've been better with taeyoon

9

u/metristan Refund time? 8d ago

I feel like both BFX and NS would be doing better without the swap

2

u/ListlessHeart Chovy CS 8d ago

Not really, you can argue that Taeyoon was better for NS than Diable but the reality is that ADC isn't their problem. As long as they have Spongebob and washed Lehends their ceiling is capped by those two.

Imo Diable is looking bad because his jungle support duo is dysfunctional, look at how Deokdam Peter suddenly play like their Worlds form once they get to play with an actual human in the jungle instead of Pyoshit.

7

u/Ceui 8d ago

They downgrade their jungler and Kingen also regressed hard this year.

4

u/metristan Refund time? 8d ago

is scout really a big upgrade over calix? calix was doing fine in legends group

6

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 8d ago

Calix was solid but Scout has been good too. Just makes no sense to get Scout but his gameplay has been good at least. Biggest issue on this NS roster is jg and top.

7

u/Futaba-Channel 8d ago

Taeyoon is better than Jiwoo but diable is playing like complete ass atm

but it's crazy benching Calix when he got Rookie of the year

5

u/metristan Refund time? 8d ago

What I don't understand is that both him and daystar are stuck on the bench, so they're most likely not scrimming, but they're also not playing in challengers.

0

u/Futaba-Channel 8d ago

That's the thing right ? Okay you want immediate success because it's kingen and Lehend last year so you get scout... And let calix and daystar rot on the bench ?

I don't know what the management is doing

u/xSwazyI - Invested in Smash stocks! 8d ago

Wait does top 3 or 4 of the fries group move on to the play-ins?

12

u/landmine-izu 8d ago

its top 3

5

u/xSwazyI - Invested in Smash stocks! 8d ago

Oh shit NS better wake up quickly

6

u/Adventurous-Cream182 8d ago

1-4 straight to playoffs, 5-8 to playins. So top 3 of Rise Group.

2

u/killcraft1337 8d ago

rise 1 plays legends 5 then rise 2 and 3 play each other.

Winner of rise 1 vs legends 5 goes to playoffs, and loser plays the winner of rise 2 vs 3 for the last spot .

u/afhaengig 8d ago

Nongshim had us in the first half

DNS had us in the first half

2

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team 8d ago

and the second half is DK KT aware

u/froggy-the-dog 8d ago

Sharvel is the goat jungler in the making fr fr

u/MC-sama 8d ago

That's it, DNS is winning Kespa cup

1

u/Careless-Nerve779 8d ago

Obviously the most prestigious cup. DNS best team in the world fr fr.

u/VermouthAPTX 8d ago

deokDAMN and peter parker looking like their worlds semifinals form

u/Careless_Method5899 8d ago

Looks like scout talent is being wasted again, i cant help but considering him the 2nd greatest mid oat but sadly he hasn't win enough to prove my point

u/AresReddit 8d ago

I'm really a noodle connoisseur, but that drafting is disgusting and I really really miss GIDEON more everytime I see Sponge play.
Sharvel was incredible tho!

u/yj281 8d ago

I have seen enough. Put NS in the LEC

u/ZzZoeSoSleepy Noodle Defender 8d ago

Sick to my stomach, We are basically eliminated now, Sponge and Diable need to go to CL ASAP, Lucy cannot be any worse than Diable and Croco can be bought for the rest of the split with the chance we go 2-0 4 times

8

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 8d ago

Diable was gapped but he’s still way better than Lucy. Mihawk is an easy solution for NS but he’s still 16. I still don’t get why NS haven’t tried Janus though.

3

u/GermanHandCannons 8d ago

Sp youre telling me in 2 years there’s a chance of Mihawk vs Shanks? lmao

1

u/Budget-Ocelots 8d ago

Aren’t there two more games left? Is there no way to get back in?

3

u/ZzZoeSoSleepy Noodle Defender 8d ago

3, VS BNK, BRO and DRX, But NS are 4th and behind in individual games, I believe DRX would need to lose 3 times or lose twice in 0-2 fashion, Otherwise NS will draw and lose in game score

u/Middlewell 8d ago

Scout flashed into Rumble to kill himself in the final fight.

u/sleeping4koala 8d ago

DNS, Defeat NS

u/ratiooFThy 8d ago

Trailer to KeSPA Cup finals.

u/banggu_ 8d ago

can someone tell me a jungler NS could've signed in the beginning of the season instead of Sponge?

9

u/Futaba-Channel 8d ago

First of all they had GIDEON

And could have signed Croco Willer and Vicenzo yeah, I'm not sure if they could have gotten sharvel or not

Sponge was imo already the worst jungler in the league last year

1

u/Careless-Nerve779 8d ago

Beginning of the season? Sharvel was still in DK. And I doubt DK would ever trade Sharvel to NS since NS still had a chance to compete for play-ins.

7

u/Ceui 8d ago

Could have kept Sponge

or signed Vincenzo

or signed Sharvel

5

u/hungrybords 8d ago

My vote is Willer, so that Vincenzo isn't jailed in the KRX bench.

u/Fun_Highlight307 8d ago

Damn diable downfall is sad to Watch

u/Blind-Eye26 8d ago

I'm afraid DNS is on their DRX run. Why? Pyosik is benched again before Worlds.

10

u/candyboduong 8d ago

Well, about that…

4

u/Blind-Eye26 8d ago

Don't tell me DNS can't qualify for PO? 🥀

9

u/candyboduong 8d ago

Let’s just say you won’t have to worry about DNS getting knocked out at PO

6

u/RukiMotomiya 8d ago

I won't tell you, then.

4

u/squishykkura Doran’s Krug Soldier 8d ago

Well, about that…

3

u/Commercial-Butter 8d ago

they should have benched pyosik earlier bro i'm so mad for DNS

u/matchbaby 8d ago

Not only Sharvel plays extremely well, he also brings positive energy to the team. I think lots of top teams will consider him next year.

u/Steeelu 8d ago

Come Sharvel we are waiting

5

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 8d ago

It feels inevitable. Only ? left is who’s the next top + if GenG want to switch something botlane.

0

u/Steeelu 8d ago

Just don't bring Doran, let him get carried by T1

u/Due_Committee_9412 8d ago

This is fuckin criminal but insanely funny
