YamatoCannon, dGon, and Jamada debate the LCK All-Pro teams, why ShowMaker's numbers do not match his reputation, and the LPL and LCS playoff races heading into Worlds season.

The crew open on BRION getting knocked out by BNK FEARX for the final LCK playoff spot, and whether another disappointing season is on the players or the org. That leads into the All-Pro debate, where ShowMaker had a strong year on paper but posted some of the worst efficiency numbers in the league, and the second and third team picks come down to Peyz, Zeus, Smash, Guma, and Ruler. From there it is a hard look at a team whose leadership problems boiled over, with a CEO stepping in publicly before the season was mathematically over. The back half runs through the LPL, whether IG are for real and how brutal the WE, JDG, Top Esports, BLG, and AL gauntlet is, plus the LCS playoff bracket of Shopify Rebellion, Cloud9, LYON, and Team Liquid.

Topics covered:
⦁ BRION out to BNK FEARX: another disappointing LCK season, and who is to blame
⦁ LCK All-Pro teams and why ShowMaker's efficiency numbers undercut a great year
