Thorin and YamatoCannon break down KT Rolster's shocking early-split dominance in the LCK, and whether Bdd and PerfecT are the real deal.
KT won the LCK's opening week by beating both T1 and Gen.G, raising a question no one expected to ask this soon: are they actually the best team in Korea right now? Thorin and YamatoCannon dig into what makes this KT run different, why PerfecTs emergence is genuinely bizarre, and how Effort's return is quietly holding the roster together. They also assess Gen.G's early slump, break down T1's path to recovery ahead of their upcoming showdown with Gen.G, and shift to the LEC — where Vitality are looking like legitimate contenders, Fnatic just upset G2, and Shifters' nuc gave one of the most alarming mid-season interviews in recent memory. The episode closes with an LPL look at BLG's continued dominance and the JDG vs. Top Esports matchup to watch next week.
