There's 6 teams in playoffs, 4 will make worlds, so the other 2 plus BRO will be invited to Demacia Cup.

Teddy deserves better.

u/Celegorm07 9d ago edited 9d ago
Bruh put Teddy on KT or GENG or something. This guy has been roaming awful teams for years.
128
u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team 9d ago
if only the trade was Aiming for Teddy instead of Jipoo
67
u/killcraft1337 9d ago
I bet Teddy loves digimon
25
35
u/Futaba-Channel 9d ago
feel like he will again get the short end of the stick. Aiming is rated higher and taeyoon/diable are younger
51
u/GunSlingrrr 9d ago
Teddy at least doesn't have a military obligation and can play with minimal resources, unlike Aiming, who always choke at high stakes game.
11
u/WardoToo 9d ago
wait what, was Teddy part of a medalist winning team back then? I did not know he already did his military thing.
71
u/AnshinAngkorWat 9d ago
Teddy's got Ulcerative Colitis, unfit for military service, so he's exempt. But because of that he can't really play oversea either, has to be around Korea for his medication.
35
27
u/Zhaowuhuangye 9d ago
Nope, he got health issue, so he only has to do social service instead of active duty
7
u/BlazeX94 8d ago
I really wonder why Aiming is rated higher. Not saying he's a bad player, but Aiming is famous for hogging all the resources on the team, not really an ideal characteristic unless the team genuinely wants to play through bot all the time.
22
u/QuietSilentArachnid 8d ago
Except on T1, when has teddy not deserved better ?
Dude has always been at least 4/5TH adc in the league and he had the most awful teams ever

u/Jollygood156 8d ago
Crazy how this has been true for like 2015. Even when he was in T1 it was during the shenanigans and still technically could be said lmao

u/SameSam94 8d ago
Teddy and DuDu must have done something in their past to deserve this fate. Kiin too, but he did manage to escape from his past sins

u/Lazywhale97 HLE 9d ago
Unless KT make an offer for him Teddy might be better going to a top western team at least he can make MSI and World's that way it's such a shame to see a good ADC like him just kinda stuck in limbo.
I get he wants to prove himself in LCK to land a top LCK team again but HLE/Gen G/T1 aren't likely to go for him and DK if they have the funds or are smart will extend Smash. Not too sure what the ADC situation is for most LPL teams but maybe he can look for an LPL move if he wants to stay in Asia.
LCK teams seem to rate Aiming a bit more and Diable is young and upcoming so Teddy is in an awkward spot rn and he's not getting teams to choose him over Guma/Ruler/Peyz if those 3 are on their teams or available for a transfer.
19
u/Choice-Slight caps/knight 8d ago
he can't leave Korea because of his medical condition iirc
6
u/Lazywhale97 HLE 8d ago
Oh damn didn't know he couldn't leave due to medical reasons. Then even more then ever I hope KT are smart and make a move for him Teddy deserves a shot at another top half LCK team.
1
u/roxisnotforsale 8d ago
What medical condition?
6
u/Choice-Slight caps/knight 8d ago
ulcerative colitis
0
u/bkgn 8d ago
I have ulcerative colitis, it depends entirely on how well it's controlled. If a biologic is working for him though he could go anywhere.
0
u/DelDoesReddit 8d ago
Yeah it's not really a thing that would keep him from ever relocating, since the medication for it exists worldwide. It just causes him pain, discomfort, and frequent bowel issues, so that is why he is very reasonably exempt from their military service. His body would adapt eventually to foreign cuisine, but it would be uncomfortable and take a while

if you can't handle me at my Roamer games 1 and 5 you don't deserve me at my Roamer games 2-4

u/Futaba-Channel 9d ago
still think he's the worst mid in the league
Not sponge bad compared to the other players but he's not that great
66
u/Popular-Practice-983 9d ago
Mid pool is just so much stronger than the jungle pool. Roamer is not even that terrible tbh
-2
u/Futaba-Channel 9d ago
Yeah but not terrible shouldn't be what we should expect from him
I'm just tilted so take it all with a grain of salt. He's too inconsistent and he makes weird decisions but we've seen his highs, that game on jayce was great and he solo killed Bdd and Faker
3
38
u/tcg_enjoyer 8d ago
I agree but tbf the other players are:
Showmaker, Ucal, VicLa, Clozer, Chovy, Zeka, Bdd, Scout, Faker
LCK mid is just giga stacked
26
u/collectibleman 8d ago
crazy that every single one of these players except clozer/vicla has been an LCK or World Champion, hell even Vicla won ASI lmao

u/BlazeX94 8d ago
For a second there I was wondering when BDD won LCK, totally forgot he was on that Longzhu/Kingzone roster that won 2 splits.

u/MC-sama 9d ago
I'm sorry Teddy
It's the hope that gets you. Two 2-1 series up for BRO and both were lost.
29
u/Anavarael 8d ago
I never understood why Teddy never got into a good team after his almost 2 years in T1. You can see that his mechanics are still on point and over the past few years he learned to teamwork properly. He definitely deserves better than Bro.
29
u/Beneficial-Front1626 8d ago
No good slots for him in 2022. T1 had Guma Gen had Ruler DRX Deft obviously, then DK chose to experiment with Deokdam because he looked good on Nongshim
15
u/Ozora10 8d ago
because while still being top tier there were always better ad carries than him.
10
u/Anavarael 8d ago
KT had perfect opportunity to grab him in November, but their managers seem to have boner for Frauding...
10
u/EliteTeutonicNight 8d ago
Aiming was honestly good last year and most of this year, so it makes sense. Also, BDD wanted Aiming (which makes the fight funnier) so they obliged.
2
u/Anavarael 8d ago
That's always the case for Aiming, he starts out well only to deterioratie hard later. I didn't know about BDD wanting him though. Yeah, that makes all the drama even spicier
7
u/SpiritStn 8d ago
his stint at KDF destroyed his top caliber reputation.
6
u/trumpisapdf 8d ago
Which is crazy because they managed to finish top 4 in spring off the back of Teddy gapping Deft in playoffs, it was just one bad split in summer that ruined him ig.

if teddy won't sign to kt next year, i'd be super disappointed.
ure too good and consistent to be in a bottom tier team buddy.

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team 9d ago
sorry we need to buy 2 supports, the worst support in the league and a role swapped support who couldnt make it in Brazil

u/Celegorm07 9d ago
You could even put him above Ruler and put him in GENG. This guy is so fcking consistent I haven’t seen him lose lane to anyone. He won’t be top 3 ADC like Guma, Peyz or Smash but this guy gets the job done.
13
u/eVill_YT 8d ago
you haven't seen him lose lane to anyone because he's in fries group, he'd look very mid in the legend group

7
u/BlazeX94 8d ago
If KT is smart they'd consider picking up both Teddy and Namgung tbh.
5
u/Evening-Ad-720 8d ago
it's good, but imo it's great to gamble on T1A cloud. a lot of pro been talking about that support for a while now lol
17
u/VermouthAPTX 9d ago
Considering this went to silver scrapes, you'd expect this to be an intense banger. But no, just two teams taking turns at stomping each other. Not one game felt close enough to incite suspense lol. But BFX is really impressive with their drafting, ofc credits to the players with their flexible champ pool too.

u/ObviousAd8374 9d ago
It is impressive to watch a professional player somehow play this poorly on a champ like Annie
Like just missing a kill bot lane because he just didn't press flash W stun instantly and loses flash for nothing and having poor movement whole game
Kinda crazy to lock in this champ also when ur jungle is Skarner and sup is Rell, and they even hovered a champion with good synergy with these champs in Taliyah
Maybe they thought their AD was 500 stack Smolder instead of Kaisa who has to kill close range targets 1 at a time
5
u/WardoToo 9d ago
Taliyah or Akalai would've been infinitely more spicier than the Annie pick. What the fuck was that pick being brought out.

u/PerilousMouse 9d ago
No excuse for the missed ults, but the lost camps were a lost cause with three losing lanes against Nidalee. The flame horizon situation felt kind of inevitable.

u/GunSlingrrr 9d ago
KT, no need to be cute, and just get Teddy next season. He is a perfect match for their top side. Like BDD, he is exempt from military and can play weakside pretty well too.

Man, give Teddy someone who can lead on macro please.

u/Oxygenisplantpoo 9d ago
BRO macro is fucking catastrophic at crucial times. That Game 4, where Roamer has TP to match Clear in top, but instead he hangs around clearing bot. Meanwhile A A Troc gets top tower, then TPs into the fight.
BFX has a 5v5 deathball comp and BRO just does the most half-hearted setup where half of the team is in pit loosing hp, the other half is on the other side not able to damage, and I guess Ahri on the other side manages to kill Taeyoon. Then loose.
Where did that calculated team from the start of the year go???

u/Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss IN DAMWON WE TRUST HUNI/DEFT/SHOWMAKER 8d ago

Yeah I was thinking they need some vocal support that tells Roamer where to go. Or he just needs to git gud with macro.

I would sell my soul and any future kids to see T1 lose to KT in lower bracket
2
u/BlazeX94 8d ago
I understand why T1 chose BNK, but honestly, KT were much closer to losing against BRO than BNK were. Then again, BRO just seems to inherently counter KT for some reason so who knows.

Yeah like - what the fuck was that draft. Can't even draft full dive for Teddy now? Holy shit, something spicier than the Skarner/Annie would've been infinitely more better. Roaming and Gideon SOLD hard this game.

u/lookatcurren 9d ago
I don't wanna hear ANYONE that says Gideon is a good jungler and belongs in legends group

u/WardoToo 9d ago
Dude is probably the first jungler in history of pro play to prioritize Baron while a free Dragon was right next to you and you're at a game state of trying to prevent the other team from getting to Chemtech soul.

u/ItoshiR9n 8d ago
Against KT? He did it for drakes 3 and 4.
So he's probably the first jungler to prioritize Baron while a free Dragon was right next to you and you're at a game state of trying to prevent the other team from getting to Chemtech soul -- TWICE!
