Wolf and dGon break down LCK 2026 All-Pro voting and explain why Faker missed the cut at mid lane despite a legendary season.

The regular season is officially in the books, and Wolf and dGon spend the finale walking through their full All-Pro ballot, from Rookie of the Year all the way to MVP. Gen.G's dominant campaign shapes almost every category, with Canyon, Peyz, and Chovy all in the mix for the league's top individual honor. Dplus KIA's breakout AD carry Smash takes home Rookie of the Year, and the hosts get into a genuinely tense debate over whether Faker's legendary status should have been enough to save him a mid lane All-Pro spot. It's a spirited, opinionated wrap-up of the League of Legends Champions Korea regular season before the playoff bracket kicks off next week.

Topics covered:
⦁ Why did Smash win LCK Rookie of the Year over the rest of this year's field?
⦁ Which coach gets credit for turning Dplus KIA's season around?
⦁ Zeus, Kiin, and the fight for the final top lane All-Pro spot
⦁ Is Canyon a unanimous number one for jungle All-Pro?
⦁ Why did Faker miss the cut for mid lane All-Pro this year?
⦁ Peyz, Ruler, Smash, and Gumayusi: sorting out bot lane All-Pro
⦁ Keria, Delight, and the support All-Pro conversation
⦁ Peyz, or Chovy: who takes home LCK MVP?
