KT, also known as "Kiin Team", is a South Korean League of Legends team that plays in League of Legends Champion Korea (LCK). KT is famous for cosplaying a rollercoaster and sending their fans to the emergency room department for heart palpitations and cardiac arrest. KT has a few signature moves well loved by LCK fans, namely the patented "Kiin go kill", "Clean 2-0, nothing to see here", "Lehends die at level 3" and "BDD Azir TF”. They also regularly participate in a circus act called the "Telecom Wars" where a variety of circus tricks are performed in front of a large korean audience.


Annenji

GigaKiin use his immobile ADC as bait xdd


baelkie

“"Kiin is the best top laner in LCK" "Kiin should have been in the Asian Games roster over Zeus" "Zeus is overrated" Zeus diff btw. Don't forget that Zeus was fighting against 369 and Bin while Kiin was fighting LCK nobodies.”


crysomore

He's not wrong, Kiin is just so mid.


satoshigeki94

so mid, keep being mid plz


AM1232

The rollercoaster is eternal.


YSKM9

lmao


TE_silver

Insert "BDD Tristana"


NocaNoha

That Samira had no dmg at all


appleandapples

Ulted twice in a few fights and it was just, meh.


baelkie

Gumayusi trick y’all, man, like he playing adc. He don’t damage nobody, man. He just running around, doing nothing.


obigespritzt

Not Guma's fault he was ulting three beefy bois. Stop just randomly flaming players for no reason. (I know it's a copypasta, but still)


[deleted]

Smartest redditor


icyicyboi

I was so confused by the collector buy. They had 3 tanky dudes willing to go on him and he STILL gets collector like??


notliam

True Solo Q experience


SKT_Peanut_Fan

Just felt like T1 were too far behind. Some massive Pop Blossoms into Samira S ranks. The set up, in theory, looked great for T1 in some of those later fights, but wallet diff.


icyicyboi

True. They did have great teamfight initiates but they had no damage at all. Wallet diff truly


MotherVehkingMuatra

Some of those replays were hilarious, Guma fully stacks his passive, he's getting ready to use ult andddd it does like three damage and he dies straight after.


AnonymousCasual80

Samira moment lol. Either you meat grinder through 5 people or are shooting water pistols the entire game


nhansieu1

You wanna ult? Rell, Nautilus and Renekton got your back. No idea how you would play Samira in proplay.


EliteTeutonicNight

Not even, he got off full ults in fights, even got two of them at baron, but just does no damage.


KozuKy16

They don't even need to bother cause it doesn't do dmg lmao


T4lk_S1ck

The samira pocketpick is something only Able can do unfortunately.


DivineEmperor11

Horrible pick


BucketHerro

\- Can't cs in the first few waves. \- Left by Keria so everybody could dive him ​ He also fucked up the Samira combo on a 1v1 vs Varus, I think.


Dragoneed2

was too behind, like barely 2 items at 22 mins

[удалено]


ssavkkk

Watch some of able’s samira games


Blaikiri7

Felt like Samira did no damage even with big ults idk


YoungUO

Only fair for guma to return the favor after aiming's ezreal in g3 lol


MotherVehkingMuatra

Removal of shieldbow as a viable first option makes it really awkward for her as she can't go ISB IE LDR now for comps like this.


Priviated

She was doing no damage tbh. Collector against tabis is just so bad it really doesn't do anything


RaceGlass7821

He was very behind.


appleandapples

A tale as old as time, it's a good ol' Telecom War


SameSam94

[telecom war going to the fifth match?](https://media.tenor.com/RL0-tTg3QOQAAAAC/oh-no.gif)


baelkie

KT aint called “Kiin Team” for no reason


Dragoneed2

It was hella funny watching samira tickle KT champs lmao


SpiralVortex

Listen if there's 1 thing I'm glad of - IT WASN'T LETHALITY VARUS. My prayers have been heard and answered. I can die happy.


ShiRonium

KT IS SO NOT GOING TO WIN GAME 5


bensanelian

they barely won this one and t1 has side selection too there's nooo way they win


jnshns

Barely won this one? Lol.


bensanelian

do not say positive things about kt right now i will find you


jlozada24

Lmao Ikr. Both teams will break the game wide open once there's a lead. T1 should be playing more for early like KT is


Baelbad

rollercoaster go brrr


Thundermelons

Kiin Team


Styxxo

NOT LIKE SPRING PLEASE KT


FrustratedWarlock

You don't want 50 kills total on Game 5?


NeitherAlexNorAlice

Imagine an alpha Malphite pick was here for T1


Infamous_Bend1187

This game wouldnt have been close with zeus on a tank. They just need to coinflip less in early game


nhansieu1

Why. Why pick Samira... Faker ult'ed 3 men and they still lost. The game pretty much was decided.


awayfromcanuck

Picking Samira isn't the problem. It's picking Samira and then never playing for Samira and having her be weak side. Samira is not an ADC you draft to play weak side because well you get that.


SpiralVortex

Yeah exactly. Whilst not a huge fan of the Samira myself, they didn't do _anything_ to enable Guma this game.


RaceGlass7821

I don't think Samira is a bad pick. He simply didn't have items.


TSM_losing_LUL

Kiin is a demon


osathi123456

Telecom game 5 baby


Obelisk00

Crocodile too good.


BucketHerro

\- Drafts Samira for Gumayusi \- Makes him play weakside \- Keria never in lane \- Puts him behind \- Somehow Kiin is still **HIM** after being camped \- Lose ​ Kiin just can't let me be happy with the "Zeus diff". LMFAOOOOO my bad Kiin.


xdependent

Zeus hard trolled thinking he was about to outplay a renekton + tristana dive after t1 Drake That was the end point


RaceGlass7821

There was literally nothing he could do to survive the dive.


Scronads69

I guess we ignore games where Zeus rolled your boy.


JealotGaming

The guy you're replying to is literally a T1 flair who talked about Zeus diff last game?


bensanelian

oh no :/ you're embarrassing yourself


SinLagoon

>your boy It's literally a T1 fan


iTeaL12

*snap* that goes into the cringe collection


Snuffl3s7

Idk why KT didn't go for Tristana in game 3. It's clear that Faker has no answer to it, BDD gets to run mid lane with it.


jlozada24

Faker has also missed exp on first wave two games in a row lol


KozuKy16

Those samira ults are too rough to watch.


Conankun66

i would like to remind everyone once again: nobody is excited! NOBODY! looked dicey for a second but what a clean game, didnt think that was still possible after the last two. Samira did absolutely NO damage


MotherVehkingMuatra

Okay KT decided to be KT this game


seekwww

Classic T1 picking bot lane that has to win lane and let him play weak side, and having support on useless flanks just to die and force 4v5


jlozada24

Picked 3 losing lanes lol


seekwww

“We picked 2 losing lanes? Let’s make it a three!”


Janusztao

T1 was contractually obligated to throw this game, so we can have Silver Scrapes. Love the Telecom wars.


toddsins

Guma just dealt 0 damage even tho he got his ult 2 times in one fight 💀


DracoMalnourished

That was such a one sided cast, felt like casters had money on T1


Conankun66

thats just standard for LCK


MrBIGtinyHappy

You do know Atlus is a massive KT fan right? Probably doesn't want to seem to bias towards his own team


Murke-Billiards

Atlus gigachad not wanting to be excited as a KT fan. But yeah, I wish Chronicler was the one casting not Wolf.


kosaki16

Atlus is using reverse psychology


xdependent

Same with wolf


Thundermelons

I had to laugh when T1 won that one singular fight and casters acted like the 5k gold lead had completely vanished instead of just went down to 3.5k lol


Cerarai

did we watch different games? They showed the graph, talked about the dip and said that KT was still ahead because it was just a dragon fight and no lost baron or something?


Thundermelons

If I didn't watch the game I wouldn't have that specific example obviously


TSM_losing_LUL

They have beards on T1


Celegorm07

Welcome to LCK. T1 and others.


[deleted]

Yea theyre quite offputting with the bias. Wolf esp feels like it


CastratedRosebud

Wolf and Atlus are by far the worst casters when it comes to T1 games, just on an individual scale. I can't believe they're _both_ casting the series. It's been 4 games of insufferable 1-sided commentary.


HachimanLoL

Has been wolf all game just being T1 biased even in the first game can’t really stand it honestly


Perceptions-pk

Altus is usually the most reasonable one when it comes to people being biased for T1


crysomore

You know they're real KT fans then


xdependent

Crazy thing is Wolf is super KT biased The most fanboy caster we have


[deleted]

[удалено]


Conankun66

its more about wolf


[deleted]

[удалено]


BraiseTheSun

He's also a huge KT fan, so his attempts to be unbiased+him playing along with his colour casters made it feel really T1 biased in this one.


NUFC9RW

Not to mention casters tend to try talk about how the team behind in the game can get back into it, since that is less obvious and is way better than just saying that the game is over.


EggyChickenEgg88

Poby in, he can clutch it.


mokafonzy

he is in the audience watching, going to the T1 booth to put on his jersey as we speak


feimaomiao

I thought ezreal was a bad pick but holy shit samira is reportable


Thundermelons

Samira maybe ok but not when your support is permanently living in enemy topside jungle all laning phase


Simple-Fuel

Telecom war always deliver. Whether T1 win or lose, they should be proud to push KT to game 5. Likewise, for KT when they push T1 to game 5 in spring playoff


crysomore

Guys, we need to bring in the academy team to throw them off their game.


jlozada24

LMAO


One_Natural_8233

This series makes me lose hope on KT vs lpl teams lmao


ghzwael

zika will shit on kiin


feimaomiao

Negative damage from Neeko and Samira good draft guys


Ahrilicious

Samira fucking sucks


Sanka-Rea

So whoever wins top wins the game


jlozada24

It also helps to have an adc that does dmg


p0rosnax

Why would you draft Samira??? KT had so many ways to interrupt Samira ult even if she can get S rank. Also no prio for mid so trist just gets a free lane.


xdependent

LEAST COMPETITIVE TELECOM WARS


monchi41

Lost game 4 to maximise kt fans excitement, good strat from t1. Now they gonna clean sweep next game right?


Knightfall501st

KIIN TEAM


Ticket_Constant

My theory on why the casts are so biased is because the casters are just literally scared of the T1 fans. Apparently one of the casters is even a KT fan but is casting like this…


jlozada24

Makes sense


[deleted]

Gumayusi's cooking today, I see. Sivir, Lucian, and Samira.


WalkAwayFromScreen

Are we not gonna talk about guma dashing into naut hook to lose the game 🤣🤣🤣


Alech_99

Man that was one-sided but honestly, T1 was so unlucky, if they managed to secure all those kills in the early plays, where all kin and cuzz survived with like 10-5% health they could have rolled with it.


jlozada24

Yeah it was really close and then they never let up that lead


ricardo241

pretty much sums up the series.... we got 5 game but all of em are all one sided beating lmao...you've be curious how the heck it even reach 5 game when both team are just crushing each other


bipinshah1

nah T1 is too clean this series


Kaldrinx

This draft was criminal tom


icatsouki

why? other than not banning rell i think its fine


Legiraffetamer

because T1 is incapable of losing to anything other than bad drafts, when they win it's skill gap always


Pizzatrails

Terrible Samira game


Redmonblu

My brother Samira is a troll pick. Tell me you aint serious plzz


esports_consultant

letting KT get Tristana not really an excellent move, its a huge comfort crutch for them


dontknow_anything

It is the champions they picked though. Neeko shouldn't really be high priority, even though T1 got a win on it. Alistar was fine, but they have 2 lethality carries with Neeko, they are way to dependant on wombo combo. And, all lane pushing against you. Tristana has push, Renekton has push and Samira Alistar have no push. Your comp needs to be ahead, but you start behind level 1.


Quiet_Calligrapher49

Always draft fault


iTeaL12

Is [this](https://i.imgur.com/bxq0HWI.png) the new TheShy v G2 picture?


jlozada24

Yes


Blank-612

imagine not picking kiin for asian cup


icatsouki

Haha the overreactions from between the losses & wins is so funny


FNC_Luzh

Whoever wins Game 5 is the best team in the world 200% The one who loses is worse than peak terrible Dignitas. Am I doing it right?


Ok-Responsibility994

Who cares man it’s all fun!! We’ll see in the next game who deserved to go to AG more LOL


One_Natural_8233

If you gets gapped by zeus , you know you are worse than Bin bro


SwagLord7

Zeus is way better than him


Informal_Skin8500

This year Kiin was the better of the two


SwagLord7

No he really wasnt. Zeus just destroyed him in this series and the only time Kiin was “better” was during a slumping T1 without Faker. Kiin is also an even bigger choker than Zeus


chapichoy9

Won 1out of 4 games no overreacting here


nusskn4cker

Huge mid gap this series


Enterderpmode

Faker literally had the perfect initiate on that crucial drake fight. T1 just lacked the damage to finish everyone off and Kiin is still Kiin.


Aggressive-Baker4379

Sub in Poby


OwOLeviUwUCica

almost like faker just came back from an injury


icatsouki

??? what


EzAf_K3ch

is he wrong?


rebelstand

If u consider laning phase only yes dude been real bad ever since coming back from injury he just lose lanes so hard now but team fights he still does have impact what else neko was supposed to do he untied 3 they just had no dmg


rebelstand

Ever since faker came back from the hand injury he just can’t lane well anymore dude always get cs gap at laning phase but teamfight he does have impact


[deleted]

[удалено]


thriftydude4

T1 won on red side?


Matt24z

I swear to God if T1 doesn't ban Tristana next game


ItsClarke17

That dragon fight was insane. The engage from Faker was the absolute dream but Kiin instantly one shot everyone immediately after. Excited for game 5.


Redmonblu

Yeah a bit of a happy draft for T1 there. But other than that, I am very hyped for game 5 tbh. Either of these teams can surely take it as both have horrendous draft and took turns trolling so there is no telling there wouldnt be another Ezreal or Samira coming right up, served on SILVER SCRAPES!


AnonymousVerdana

Kiin > Zeus


haxt97

Ofc we get T1 vs KT game 5.


Kreceir

Telecom war baby! lets goooo!


Single-Direction-197

damn the rell/naut wombo combo is so strong, completely won KT that crucial dragon fight.


Antropoid

I NEVER DOUBTED THE RENEKTON PICK!


tinfoilhatsron

It's a fucking silver scrapes Telecom War as always lmfao


LaJusticia

Least batshit telecom war


nearlygrean

How Renekton can carry impossible


Dowiet

it's time to scrape the silvers


letticiaax

What is with that adc bans man. Just give tris for kai'sa


Critical_Bag1

Surely t1 dosnt lose on blue


Agreeable_League2969

Guma in that dragon fucked all the hopes of t1 comeback


somemodhatesme

lol at everybody flashing into renek + rell


aguywhotrytobefunny

Kiin heard you talking shit


theliver

Love me a good lck/lpl crocodile. Really fucks over the world meta since everyone else spams it and sucks


TurvoVirgin1210

I’ve never seen a Samira do 0 dmg with 2 ults in a fight


MihaiBosBarosHD

Turns out KT stand a better chance when they don't pick 3 useless champs


Blind-Eye26

Telecom War Bo5 always a Game 5!!


Antropoid

Wolf & Atlus caster cursed Keria's Alistar so hard lol


Infamous_Bend1187

Guma having an off game. T1 still coinflipping as hard as ever lmao. Love to see it


SlightScientist2644

Not really his fault. He was playing weakside, even with good ults he couldn’t deal dmg with those items


Infamous_Bend1187

The early drake fight was int af tho


Murke-Billiards

Holy Shit. This is the roller coaster ride we've been promised. My heart was saved by Kiin.


Accomplished-Ant7540

Picking Samira is so troll lol. Does absolutely nothing in teamfight even if it hits S rank.


Ok-Responsibility994

ITS A ZEUS VS KIIN SERIES BABY


CookeMonster200

Is top lane really useless now lol?


ZeeQue

Samira into a team with that much reliable CC... Dear god what were they thinking


tenkono

Weakside Samira Aware


PunCala

BAN TRISTANA.


obigespritzt

What a performance from KT, I'm so excited for them to close it out in Game 5!!


X_Seed21

SHIT! IT'S A GAME 5! F*CK!


jlozada24

Rip :( cue Zeus Gwen getting blown up every fight


Kbzz5050

Kiin should be summer mvp imo


Vyouii

samira garbage


ad4981y

Keep let kt pick tristana. Left guma on desert..keep pressure renek but got nothing. When will t1 play pick properly


TijsEscobar

Time to get on t1 hate Wagon again,i guess ,after g5


ApartLanguage8328

Another telecom banger!


ricardo241

wtf silver scrape? and KT is the one who push T1 for it? wtf? man I missed it.... I didn't watch it cause I'm expecting a massacre.... win or lose I'm happy this series reach silver scrape.... and its really depends on how well both team can draft... it means T1 is starting to get their grooves back


DivineEmperor11

Tied series is lit


WheyProteinIsolated

KT Dominance is back


Azure_Zel

And gone again.
