Wolf and dGon break down the firestorm over South Korea's Asian Games roster, and why the KeSPA selection criteria left some of the LCK's best players on the outside looking in.
The roster has landed and the discourse is at a boil. KeSPA went public with their selection methodology, citing stats like damage per gold and CS difference per minute, but the numbers didn't add up for a lot of players who deserved a shot. Viper, widely considered one of the best AD carries in the world right now, is out. Oner, who has been openly vocal about wanting the opportunity to earn military exemption through the Asian Games, is also out. Canyon got in over Oner despite recent form questions. Faker is listed as a substitute despite already having his exemption. Wolf and dGon work through the criteria, the appeal window, and why KeSPA's messaging made everything worse than it needed to be.
Then, DN SOOPers head coach oDin has stepped down after one of the most painful losing streaks in LCK history. Wolf has a theory on why, and it has less to do with the scoreboard and more to do with what's been happening inside the org. The show closes on the best series of the LCK season so far: Gen.G vs T1. Wolf calls it now. These are the two best teams in the league and he's putting it on record. Plus: HLE's clash-of-styles beatdown of KT Rolster, BRO's stumble against KT after promising momentum, and the full predictions for the week ahead.
Topics covered:
⦁ Did KeSPA get the Korean Asian Games roster wrong? Viper, Oner, Canyon, and Faker under the microscope.
⦁ Coach oDin steps down from DNS Automotive Supers. What does it mean for a team with one win in 13 series?
⦁ Gen.G vs T1: is this the best series of the LCK season, and are these two teams already the class of the league?
⦁ HLE vs KT Rolster: a clash of styles and what it tells us about which teams can go deep.
⦁ BRO's confidence problem costs them against KT Rolster. Can they bounce back against DPlus and get into Legend Group contention?
⦁ Full LCK weekly predictions: T1, KT, HLE, BRO, Gen.G, and the DNS vs. KT match everyone is watching.
