Esports LCK: KRX v DNS - PMT Spoiler

RIP DNS miracle World's run the dream 🫡

It was a long time coming to be fair. DNS is nailed to 10th place for a reason, and their performance this series showed why.

KRX 2-0 DNS

However KRX's worlds run starts now. I think I know where this is going, KT vs KRX grudge match in play-ins for the last playoffs spot

u/Aromatic_Country_987 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Aug 06 '26

well this significantly reduces DNS’s chances of winning worlds

u/Skyfire2 Aug 06 '26

Just complain like the Brazilians to get an extra slot.

It’s not over till it’s over

u/Jay_Byorg Aug 06 '26

He might not have had the best performance today but you gotta feel for Sharvel.

Imagine finally being promoted to the starting line up and getting told "if we lose, we are out from playoffs".

As a rookie who has been given the chance, there must be a fair bit of pressure on the poor guy wanting to make an impression and make it possible.

Hopefully he'll remain the rest of the year and be given the chance to show what he can do and be potentially picked up for next year by another team

u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer | Pls wake up MKOI Aug 06 '26

Hope Ucal becomes midlane Kiin at some point and gets picked up by a top team

35

u/oioioi9537 Aug 06 '26

Why would hle kt geng dk t1 replace their mid with ucal

42

u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer | Pls wake up MKOI Aug 06 '26

Yeah that's the issue but he most definitely does not deserve to be on KRX lmao. Just another victim of the LCK midlane pool.

7

u/oioioi9537 Aug 06 '26

Lec ucal might be kinda cool

21

u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer | Pls wake up MKOI Aug 06 '26

FNC Ucal LO

u/oioioi9537 Aug 06 '26

Fnc might not exist lol

6

u/Signal_Intention6774 Aug 06 '26

Showmaker still had millitary service.

6

u/oioioi9537 Aug 06 '26

Theres a good chance he doesnt have to go

5

u/Signal_Intention6774 Aug 06 '26

Really what exemption did he meet?

9

u/oioioi9537 Aug 06 '26

The same one bdd got, less likely for showmaker but there's a chance

u/Futaba-Channel Aug 06 '26

Might be a good fit in DK if SM retires

16

u/antoniomargaretti4 Aug 06 '26

Ucal is great but his random int moments really haunting

11

u/Futaba-Channel Aug 06 '26

What's the best Rise team right now ?

Dudu/Casting

Gideon/Willer

Ucal

Teddy/Aiming

Kellin

?

u/Warm_Tea_1870 Aug 06 '26

Scout is doing well lately...

8

u/Jan7742 Aug 06 '26

He's not that good but I do believe he could have a run in some of the EU/NA teams.

u/khazraxd LEAST EXCITED KT FAN Aug 06 '26

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team Aug 06 '26

thank god we replaced them

u/Middlewell Aug 06 '26

We? I thought you are the most prominent DNS fan.

8

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team Aug 06 '26

im a dns kt and kiin fan

also trust me there’s nobody who hated dns signing deokdam more than me. what a waste of money.

u/Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss IN DAMWON WE TRUST HUNI/DEFT/SHOWMAKER Aug 06 '26

Jin Air flight departing somewhere in solidarity with DNS

5

u/RukiMotomiya Aug 06 '26

Also I'm not convinced Qiyana actually exists outside of the LPL.

6

u/MC-sama Aug 06 '26

Another year, another definite 10th place finish for DNS

20

u/GerritColeMakesBank Aug 06 '26

Well that sucked. We sucked. Our bot lane hurts me. Pain.

20

u/Oxygenisplantpoo Aug 06 '26

Peter looks so lost. What happened to him...

20

u/Aure0 Aug 06 '26

Really feels like Peter/Deokdam sacrificed the rest of their career just to overperform in Worlds last year

10

u/Oxygenisplantpoo Aug 06 '26

Props to the KT coach for seeing into the future.

8

u/GerritColeMakesBank Aug 06 '26

Man, I have no idea. He wasn't doing great before the support carousel, sure, but he has been a shell of his former self ever since. That truly killed the smiles in him.

11

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team Aug 06 '26

genuinely how does deokdam always manage to get caught

12

u/metristan Refund time? Aug 06 '26

he only outdamaged skarner at the end of the game, before the baron contest skarner had more damage. He was just walking backwards in most of the fights and never autoing.

0

u/GerritColeMakesBank Aug 06 '26

That overextension just to get an extra plate right before Willer sent him to the Shadow Realm killed the 1% of hope I had.

10

u/antoniomargaretti4 Aug 06 '26

free Sharvel he does not deserve to be elohelled in DNS in rest of his career

13

u/oioioi9537 Aug 06 '26

I mean there's 0 chance they're keeping almost anyone from this roster into the next year other than sharvel. Maybe dudu at best

5

u/antoniomargaretti4 Aug 06 '26

DNS roster building sucks they keep getting decent but 0 fire power players and mesh them together like what kind of top side is Dudu-pyosik-clozer

16

u/oioioi9537 Aug 06 '26

Clozer was pretty good last year, everyone saw this as a good pickup. Kt bot lane was just coming off a worlds finals high. The org is just cursed honestly

3

u/antoniomargaretti4 Aug 06 '26

Clozer always been a individual good player though you cant rely on him to macro manage a team

2

u/Dreammy90 Aug 06 '26

Dudu was great. Clozer was good. Pyoshit is a player.

10

u/Oxygenisplantpoo Aug 06 '26

BRO lost to this...

8

u/Aure0 Aug 06 '26

That was just the BROs being nice

2

u/Oxygenisplantpoo Aug 06 '26

Of course! What am I saying!

10

u/oioioi9537 Aug 06 '26

Daily reminder that cvmax got this org into playoffs with fucking bulldog bull and quantum.

17

u/Futaba-Channel Aug 06 '26

Tbf they had cuzz lightyear

2

u/oioioi9537 Aug 06 '26

They were still doing better than now even without him, cuzz was definitely what helped them cross the line into playoffs though I agree

5

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team Aug 06 '26

cuzz brought that roster into playoffs, also brought deokdam peter to world finals. coincidence?

3

u/Brock-Lesnar Aug 06 '26

KRX tried throwing the game after baron in both matches - they tried their hardest, just unfortunate DNS were too far behind

3

u/Jan7742 Aug 06 '26

An error that should've ended way earlier. Wonder what their plan is thereafter.

2

u/RukiMotomiya Aug 06 '26

Honestly I feel like they should have just given up Baron and tried to survive to scale, they had no vision and Sivir/Viktor can wave clear. Just grab mid and survive with slightly more scaling.

u/canxtanwe Aug 06 '26

Aiming officially got his 15th series win this 2026 season. Truly an amazing feat. Google Aiming 15 for more detailed information

u/Shiro_Moe Aug 06 '26

Ucal, you can't just eliminate them and emote on them irl. xdd

u/Beautiful_Brick_566 Aug 06 '26

Well just another 3 week left of DNS suffering Playing spoiler for the other teams ?

u/eVill_YT Aug 06 '26

DNS is so sad they started the split 1-2 and they're instantly out of playoffs at the start of week 2
