Wolf and dGon break down T1's shocking call to bench three-time World Champion Oner for 18-year-old academy jungler Painter against Hanwha Life Esports.
This week on Let's Cover Korea, Wolf and dGon unpack the LCK Summer Split's biggest storyline: T1's decision to sit longtime jungler Oner in favor of academy prospect Painter for their marquee matchup against Hanwha Life Esports, and what it means for the team heading into their KSPO Dome Home Ground event. The pair also cover Gen.G's bounce-back week behind a resurgent Ruler, DN SOOPers' surprise KeSPA Cup run through Gen.G and Kiwoom DRX, and a rough round three for both KT Rolster and Dplus KIA. Plus, Week 12 predictions across the LCK as the regular season winds down.

⦁ Gen.G's Ruler bounces back with a dominant week after a viral solo queue grind
⦁ DN SOOPers pull off a shocking KeSPA Cup run through Gen.G and Kiwoom DRX
