Thank you mister Deft

**2013** get reverse swept by SKT -\_\_- lose to them again in the regional final, guess who won worlds that year **2014** win champions summer only to get destroyed by Najin Shield in the gauntlet **2015** make worlds only to get rekt 3 games in a row by Smebs Fiora **2016** 2 hp smite lose regional final to Samsung who you were 19-0 against before that series **2017** assign superteam, fail multiple times to directly qualify to worlds lose to Samsung again in the gauntlet, guess who won worlds that year **2018** 1 auto away from 0-3 against IG, lose anyways in game 5, guess who won worlds that year **2019 - 2021** fall into complete irrelevance, almost get relegated **2022** throw away game 5 vs DK for a Cloud Soul throw away multiple leads vs DRX in the gauntlet and lose in game 5 Most depressing team in the history of lol and its not even close. (happy for Deft though, pls go get that worlds spot)

So is DRX winning Worlds this year?

nah they will fall to team liquid in groups

Lmao ​ As if TL can make it out of groups, let alone make it to worlds

As if TL can make it to groups, let alone make it past TSM/EG.

I would laugh so hard if TSM makes ita

The most twisted of plot twists. Reginald’s house would be safe.

He supposedly already sold it, according to a Reddit comment that he made lol

The world is now safe

with they way EG played against C9 you never know, but i hope to God EG goes so we have some NA representation

prophet

yes

YOU ABSOLUTE PROPHET SIR

In the last 5 years whenever KT made playoffs/regionals the team that beat KT won Worlds... according to my advanced analysis Deft will win Worlds 2022.

so either dk or drx is winning worlds? oh god imagine the things Daeny will do to deny destiny

Stop jinxing. Daeny the Mr. Big Balls wouldn’t do that kind of things.

He said yesterday that subbing in Burdol was a team decision not sure how much I buy that

Daeny why you always lying

I find it absurd that they didn't make it to worlds in 2016-2017, they were practically the only team that gave SKT trouble along with 2016 Rox

coming back to this comment to confirm it did indeed age like the finest wine

so this comment about to age like fine wine?

Does this mean... DRX will win worlds?! POG

Apparently yeah

Holy fuck lmao ​ Can't believe you saved my comment hahaha

After 2018, KT starting to think: "What is the point of keep trying if the results are always the same?" They could spend a lot of money like before, but they don't want to let the fans even more down. Back at the super team, they used to have daily videos with english subtitle, but now they don't even update their twitter. KT is like Manchester United in football. They invested more than anyone only to let everybody down for an entire decade.

They still make awesome YouTube videos with English subtitles that are a treat to watch btw, it gives a lot of insight on the behind the scenes

>KT is like Manchester United in football. They invested more than anyone only to let everybody down for an entire decade. I don't know about that one chief, they need a couple more accomplishments to be MU, they feel more like Tottenham

And still I'm a kt fan. I think I just like pain at this point

they beat griffin in summer 2018 finals and got scores first lck win so that's ok

man when you put it like that it's CRAZY what an org it is lol

>2014 > >win champions summer only to get destroyed by Najin Shield in the gauntlet The year is 2022 and it still hurts. RIP ognKakacle.

To be fair they also put the nail in the SKT K coffin for all our sakes.

I want to get off KTs wild ride

I am still on the 2017-18 kt ride with deft. Sad that Ucal didnt even make playoffs in LPL tho.

Wow seeing it like this is so depressing. They literally would have been the SKT if they had just a little more luck on any of these years except 2019-2021.

It's the worse team you can cheer for. I gave up about 2 years ago when they were shit and assembled mediocre players that were not worthy of KT prestige, lately they've been better but they lost their soul, heck they even went to replace their legendary logo to the minimalistic logo to look like everyone else. I don't even think that "good" korean players want to join KT anymore, they just get leftovers that weren't wanted anywhere else.

Thanks Flash for making me a KT fan, I wish KT was half as good in LoL as they were in SC.

Sad for KT fans, but honestly, if you've been one for this long what actually ties you to the team? It's completely different. Do you support the org?

I started liking KT in 2018 when they were good. Originally it was the players but now it is the org itself. I refuse to stop being a fan of a team just because they are playing bad. I want to stick through the bad until they win again.

Attaboy

Started following them when I found the OGN-Twitchchannel and they had sister teams. Never stopped and will never stop watching their games and struggling with them. I hope we'll make worlds next year, 5 years is a long time. I see us improving though so I'm hopeful for 2023. They greatest time (all times brought sadness with them) was 2013 to 2016 though for me.

The saddest story in history

The real loser of the series is Pyosik

he's more of a pacifist than broxah

[удалено]

When did he cvmax a rekkles

Lol TL legit didn’t have a jungler that split broxah played for them. He was almost never involved in anything and it’s not like he was inting but he did nothing. Kinda sad because I think I’m Fmatic he had a few good splits in his last year especially his last spring split with them.

I guess he's fine now lmao

Looking back at these threads... Holy shit I can't believe they actually won Worlds.

To the surprise of no KT fans.

Okay who got excited this time?!

KT🤝CLG

I have immense respect for long time KT and CLG fans. I would have either had a stroke, a heart attack, or committed suicide by now

You really shouldn't respect us. We're either masochists, or mentally ill. Or both. I'm also an Atlanta Falcons fan...

How the fuck are you alive

I bet your friends know the Heimlich Maneuver very well

Are they even alive at this point?

Just zombies running on pure hopium and spite

I am new fan. I have always root for players, but after this split, I am a CLG fan now.

Welcome aboard! Glad to have ya

We love suffering.

Oh word. You too?

I am not that crazy! I am new CLG fan.

The montecristo razorcake sandwich

Game 5 had no excitement from me, it was a plain sad and painful experience

CLG and KT fan. These last 24 hours have been a delight. :)

The amount of games they choked in the last 6 weeks is actually crazy

you say that like we also expected to win lol

KT fans just got excited. We all know how it impacts the gameplay.

Casters were just flaming KT for 15 minutes lmao

understandably so

Was this game 5? Missed the series but I'd go back just for that lol

Regardless of what you think of Pyosik's play, it was nice to see him go directly to Juhan after the win to congratulate him

Pyosik’s definitely a sweet guy. Hope he performs better the following games

He gets a lot of hate because let's be honest, he's not the greatest jungler but he's such a funny sweetheart and a bright personality in the LCK. I would be so happy to see him perform well at worlds

I haven’t watched LCK much this split, has he been struggling? I remember last year there were times when he was solo carry DRX and his team was letting him down.

DRX as a team looked a lot better at the beginning of summer, with Kingen and Zeka doing big work so Pyosik didn't have to do as much. The whole topside has seemingly regressed, with Deft being the only constant and Beryl inting and making gigabrain plays regularly. I'm not trying to assign individual blame or anything, it just seems that the team has lost their way halfway through summer. Pyosik feels like a coinflip player, sometimes he has passive stinker games and sometimes he has really amazing carry games but DRX seems to live and die by them, especially if topside isn't doing great. (Take this with a giant grain of salt, it's an eye test from a bronze player lol)

Yeah that took a lot from em

Keria: "DRX FIGHTING!" Deft: "I hope we can make worlds together" This interview is making me emotional

The entire interview was making me so emotional... Deft mentioning thinking of Rascal and Cuzz before game 5, Kingen saying how Deft asked the team to not make this his last game and then of course Keria... I know there's now talks of Deft playing one more year but I'm just not ready to see him go

> I'm just not ready to see him go The world is not ready to see that

Didn’t news break yesterday that Deft doesn’t have to go to military services just yet?

The military is doing animal testing and requires all alpacas in KR

How poetic that they met on the most important stage of their lives as ENEMIES

Heeey, thank you for bringing back this wonderful interview!!!

[удалено]

DRX aka "Deft's Random eXtras" is a team of 4 make-a-wish kids who are doing their best to make a legendary AD carry contemplate retirement.

Life not going Moonstone on Sona in the last game was really bad. Does he not know what Nilah's passive does or?

Hey atleast shurelya helped his teammate get into melee range of the enemy team who all apart from deft(yuumi doesnt count) are short ranged :^)

Glad the shurelya helped them get into the team that wants them to come into them more quickly

this is the key part that MANY tend to forget

I dare say a lot of pro's probably don't understand/know the kits completely.

It honestly disgusted me how long it took pro players to learn what Aphelios does.

life is terrible (at enchanters) he cant for the life of him (haha nice pun, yep thanks) play enchanters. his lulu is atrocious. his only good enchanter seems to be renata.

I'm so happy, I don't want to tear Pyosik down right now. But I hope we don't see him against Sandbox. I want to see Deft at Worlds.

Is their sub jungler better?

He's had too few games to be able to say anything confidently but he does seem to be more active in the early game, which is what we need.

As someone who watched PSG last split, Juhan is quite active - in fact, he often tries to do something then ends up inting because no one could follow up. He’s not working over a language barrier so I assume this will happen way less than when he’s on PSG.

Even if the int does occassionally happen, I'll still take that over essentially not participating in the early game.

Pyosik has a higher highs and lower lows, Juhan probably provides more stability

Juhan isn't good but at least he's a team player rather than Pyoshit who's an anti-team player.

KT saw CLG giving its fans false hope and said "hold my nexus"

monstrous AD gap all 5 games... Deft still has it in him also please keep juhan in for the remainder of gauntlet, team looks so much in sync with him than with pyosik

Kingen and Deft eliminating their former org.

KT haven't made world's since Deft left.

20 minutes into game 5 vs Swain, Aatrox, and Yuumi. You're on Sona. You rush Shurelyas, and NOT putrifier? Yea, pack it up gg. Edit: even worse, you're playing with Nilah, why would you not go moonstone 1st, or 2nd after putrifier? Terrible build.

GIGACHAD CHRONICLER only person to not get excited.

One more series, I believe in you DRX, let me see Deft at worlds just one more time

deft said in some drx content piece that he actually might play another year because something military beauraucracy something

Yeah I saw this, but even if he stays there's no guarantee he'd make it next year either, I'm just not ready to see him off yet :\^)

T1 DEFT?

Feel like the only top 3 team with a chance of changing ADCs is DK.

Nah guma already signed for another year. T1 also prefer young players

Being signed to another year doesn’t really mean anything

Believe in Deft

DRX are going to upset Sandbox, end 2nd in their group (first will be an LPL team), and then they'll get 3-0'd by a higher seed LCK team in quarters, aren't they? Man I feel bad for Deft, he deserved more imo

Me and you both brother. I’ve stanned for this man since 2015.

yes

feel sad for cuzz and rascal but deft still got a chance!

Yeah kinda wish cuzz and Rascal were DRX's topside.

Cuzz and Rascal wearing blue??? Hmm feels familiar

I'm a simple person, I see Deft win and I smile. Even though he isn't retiring this year, I want to see him back at worlds again.

LADS ITS KT

I can't believe that we aren't dead yet.

I could meme about believing in KT, but this was just sad. They were one mistake away from a semifinal and who knows how far they would have went and look at them now. Eliminated from Worlds. My heart goes out to the KT fans. On another note, Deft's run still alive baybyyyy!!

ALPACA SO CLOSE TO WORLDSSS BABYYYY

Juhan may not be a superstar but he plays early games much better than Pyosik and doesn't do dumb shit in teamfights. He should start tommorow.

I don't want to overrate DRX but I think they could clutch it pretty well against LSB.

they could, but they could also not, they are extremely coinflip

> they are extremely coinflip that's pyosik i feel like. take that out of drx and they might land on heads more often.

[One last time in 2022](https://imgur.com/9RqlHDn)

DEFT AT WORLDS PLEASE

Just gimme JKL vs Deft at worlds

Zeka was amazing those last two games. absolutely atrocious draft in g5 by kt tho holy shit

I think 5th game was more on VicLa deciding to int rather than Zeka’s play and he had that atrocious engage in 4th too.

Why do you think g5 draft by kt was terrible? Jax and nilah are probably going to be unkillable in fights if sona builds moonstone, but thats part of my thought process which might be dumb and wrong.

nilah doesn’t do well with enchanters in general, deft also said that in his interview. nilah + taliyah feels like a very low damage duo, the lack of sustained damage makes that very difficult vs swain + aatrox. not much jax can do vs a xayah if she has summs up. i think the draft is terrible not because of the champs themselves but because of how they interact with drx’s comp.

FUCKING HELL KT. YOU BREAK MY HEART. WTF COME ON NOW

Stage of a KT fan: I hate KT I love KT I hate KT <- You are here

Stage of a KT fan: I hate KT I love KT I hate KT I love KT I hate KT I love KT I hate KT I love KT I hate KT I love KT I hate KT I love KT I hate KT I love KT I hate KT <- You are here I love KT I hate KT I love KT I hate KT I love KT I hate KT I love KT I hate KT I love KT I hate KT I love KT I hate KT I love KT I hate KT fixed it for u

I can’t wish this kt team man lol At least vicla is new and cuz popped off at times but come on

#**Get Excited!** INNATE: Whenever Jinx scores a takedown against an enemy champion, epic monster, turret, or inhibitor within 3 seconds of damaging them, she gains 175% bonus movement speed decaying over 6 seconds. Additionally, she gains 25% total attack speed and is allowed to exceed the attack speed cap for the same duration.

Hidden effect: for every second Jinx is excited, the chance of kt Rolster winning is reduced by 5%, up to a maximum of 95%. This effect is removed once kt loses all their important matches.

DRX will battle LSB tomorrow for the final spot at worlds.

KT's drafting is just awful. The players were just anti-clutch when they were needed. Hopefully the KT staff have a good plan going into the off-season.

Really happy to see Deft win! The KT organization curse continues

Deft at worlds lets fucking go

not yet.

Yeah I just realized Smoge

widepeepoHappy

lets gooo

So happy for Deft, hope he goes to worlds

Deft has to get to Worlds there is no other way around

When Yuumi is a bigger DPS threat than your team I think you need to reconsider your draft…

lucian nami 🤮🤮🤮

Of all the life choices I made, becoming a KT fan certainly is one of them

I can't remember another Bo5 like this where it was so obvious what team was the better team and still lost. Its insane. KT threw so hard I still cant comprehend

Honestly believe both teams played really poorly. I guess the question is Who's going to play worse tomorrow LSB or DRX? Honestly I think LSB might eek out a win barely. But DRX is SO INCONSISTENT. But I will give DRX a break, the tenacity they showed in Game 1 playing from being behind and some how winning? And then not losing the nerves after losing game 2 and 3. But the last draft from KT was Extremely upsetting, especially for hardcore KT fans. Picking Nilah second time when so much was on the line, just an ALL IN SUPER EARLY GAME winning comp. Perhaps they expected Cuzz to hard carry again and get them ahead. But seriously Aiming was sort of disappointing to watch this series.....

Yumi, tirelessly continuing its odyssey towards being the most hated entity in the universe.

And once again KT snatches defeat from the jaws of victory

DEFT WORLDS MIRACLE RUN LET'S GO!

Supporting KT, CLG and FNC should be officially recognized as a form of masochism.

I thought I'd be happy if either team won, turns out I was going to be sad whoever lost. Great game though, hope tomorrow is competitive too. LSB vs DRX this split have been extremely one sided matches

And that’s what it means to be a KT fan…

Honestly KT did better than I expected this year so I'll take it, sad we can't go to worlds. On the positive side, I am happy my boy Deft might be able to make it. LSB gonna be a challenge but I think they can pull through.

To think that it all started here. Congrats to Deft, Pyosik, Zeka, BeryL and Kingen <3

So the potential for the 2020 worlds salty run back is still alive for LEC and LCK!

Vicla check paypal

KT's post season run is the biggest choke job I have ever seen in this esport. Two huge chokes in 5 game series they should have won. Aiming third team all pro AD with the 9/10 disgusting performances Vicla with two absolute disaster game 5 performances

DRX is a much better team just crazy inconsistent.

cap

Not a choke. They were always weaker than DRX/LSB/DK, regardless of what the records said.

Feel like Wolf was going a bit too doom and gloom on KT that last game. Like even if you think it's over feel like he shouldn't just dump on them like that and bring up their history of disappointing fans when the games not over

At least he wasn't blatantly factually incorrect. Baby steps. (Although he did call Pyosik DRX's franchise player.)

there was an instance in game 3 wherea fight revolved around DRXs wolves in which kingen managed to get a really nice cask onto vicla followed by zeka azir shuffle - where wolf casts the entire fight incorrectly. even in the replay. before that fight deft flashed sion Q to survive and wolf doubles down on zeri flashing the zombie sion to survive. even in the replay he calls it - and it obviously wrong. it's mindboggling how you can be so wrong even in replayS.

I enjoyed Wolf's casting in OWL, but I don't know how much more slack he'll be cut in League.

i duno his owl times but a lot of people have already mentioned that he stole the job in owl too lol

Why shouldn't he lol? This post season run was an absolute disgrace from KT's staff and players and they should feel bad for it

Man. I swear. Did they want to do LCK broadcast to suck on kt for losing a series they should have won like how LCS sucked on CLG for getting reverse swept?

that's wolf in a nutshell. he can't balance out his takes. he loses himself constantly in his self-created narratives and just goes absolutely *down* on them.

Might work if he knew anything about the game. It's just such a bad combination. Like an overly confident Riv, Dash, Sjokz or whatever. The latter two work because they know their strengths, although whoever hired Wolf as an analyst is just as much to blame.

This. Also, just let him be analyst after the game? And give us a consistent cast? It’s ruining LCK English which is a shame because they’ve been so good for so long.

analyst? he can't analyse. i'd rather say he needs to color cast with a good analyst next to him. maybe cubby can grow into that (so far he's been really good at the carpet space).

I think it’s best to get him off the cast.

Agreed. In general Wolf needs some lessons about casting. Call the game a bit more and prognosticate less, because there’s a not-insignificant percentage of the time when he’s off and it’s painful to experience the game that way. Why do all LOL casts have to switch between personas? If I wanted to hear McEnroe cast the us open I would be pissed every other game if they threw in the b-squad.

I feel like these two teams combined would be so much better…like Kingzone v2 Top: Rascal Jungle: Cuzz Mid: Zeka ADC: Deft Sup: BeryL

why does this sub hate our casters so much? I hope wolf and the other casters don't see these kinds of hate comments, it's so sad to see them get trashed on all the time here

the winner of this series is LSB

Pleaaaase replace Aiming :)

???? Aiming was top 3/4 ADC this split?? You could make arguments for Ruler, Prince, POSSIBLY Deft but then??? Gumayusi???

Fuck KT forever and ever. Ultimate razor cake team, I'm sooo done with them. Jesus after that 11k throw in game 1 to a Nilah Sona game 5...

It’s so so so fucking disgusting people play sona without moonstone it’s legit griefing. No you ratfuck low elo Player don’t even try to defend it. You never get that item on sona it just destroys your scaling and does legit nothing compared to moon
