It hurts that even HLE is aware of this 😢

In their recent behind-the-scenes for their series against KT, HLE players pointed out LCK's somewhat bias against them.

They literally went 15-3 in the first two rounds of the LCK regular season, but had two out of their three losing series comms uploaded while only one out of the fifteen of their winning coms uploaded. Most egregiously, last year, both RTM #1 and #2 seed decider matches' winning comms were uploaded but this year, HLE's winning comm against T1 in the #1 seed decider match was not uploaded whereas the #2 seed (T1 vs Gen G) was uploaded.

LCK also did like a montage thing for the HLE vs KT series; they broadcasted bad plays from KT's bot lane, but broadcasted bad plays from all of HLE's lanes. This difference was also noted by the players.

I'm sure the players don't care that much about this, and it's certainly not that big of a deal, but yeah, still sucks.

LCK drama this year

T1 - circus shenanigans, can lose to anyone, can win against anyone, any player can go from corpse to clutch to corpse, trucks and funeral wreaths (again)

Gen G - Ruler's tax evasion, sudden crumble in form despite their heavy dominance last year

HLE - 10th place in LCK Cup --> rose to LCK #1 seed and won MSI (alright this is positive drama I guess LOL) --> losing again ???

DK - unpaid volunteers, "We Are Still Hungry", Showmaker regaining his prime to feed his four kids

KT - 9-man roster, the recent Aiming/BDD dispute which ended with an Aiming/Jiwoo trade

NS - the Diable/Taeyoon drama

BNK - the Diable/Taeyoon drama

KRX - the other org in the Aiming/Jiwoo trade

DNS - roster musical chairs, Idk-how-many-game losing streak, the genre is tragedy

Only gigachad BRO seems to be safe from drama so obviously they will qualify for playoffs, sneak in as the fourth seed and win Worlds this year (you heard it here first)

After this MSI, Zeus [redacted for spoilers]

After this MSI, Zeus became the only player to have won every Tier 1 tournament: LCK Cup, First Stand, MSI, EWC, Asian Games, LCK, Worlds.

Note that Kespa Cup is classified as a Tier 2 tournament, I don't think ASI is considered Tier 1 either, and ENC hasn't taken place yet.

New friendship acquired ✨

Good luck our team for tmr! I know the odds are stacked against us and BLG is likely to win, but I hope they do their best and leave with no regrets (and maybe with the trophy 🙏).

Yoo Jaesuk correctly identified Guma on the variety show Running Man + Guma's reaction

For those who don't know, Yoo Jaesuk is like the #1 most well-liked entertainer/celebrity/MC in South Korea, and Running Man is a popular variety show. In this segment, the members are shown pictures of well-known figures or half-completed idioms, etc, and have to name them. I watch the show every week so seeing Guma was a nice surprise! This is ep 807 for those wondering, at around the 1h 15 min mark.

Good luck our team in the upcoming RTM match!
