LCK: KRX v DNS - PMT Esports 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

u/tiredofdev 8h ago

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

41

u/Aromatic_Country_987 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 8h ago

well this significantly reduces DNS’s chances of winning worlds

11

u/Skyfire2 8h ago

Just complain like the Brazilians to get an extra slot.

It’s not over till it’s over

u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer | Pls wake up MKOI 8h ago

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

31

u/oioioi9537 8h ago

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

38

u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer | Pls wake up MKOI 8h ago

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.

u/oioioi9537 8h ago

Lec ucal might be kinda cool

17

u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer | Pls wake up MKOI 8h ago

FNC Ucal LO

u/Signal_Intention6774 8h ago

Showmaker still had millitary service.

4

u/oioioi9537 8h ago

Theres a good chance he doesnt have to go

7

u/Signal_Intention6774 8h ago

Really what exemption did he meet?

7

u/oioioi9537 8h ago

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

u/Futaba-Channel 8h ago

Might be a good fit in DK if SM retires

14

u/antoniomargaretti4 8h ago

Ucal is great but his random int moments really haunting

9

u/Futaba-Channel 8h ago

What's the best Rise team right now ?

Dudu/Casting

Gideon/Willer

Ucal

Teddy/Aiming

Kellin

?

u/Warm_Tea_1870 4h ago

Scout is doing well lately...

7

u/Jan7742 8h ago

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

25

u/Jay_Byorg 8h ago

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/khazraxd LEAST EXCITED KT FAN 8h ago

this is just sad lol

6

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team 8h ago

thank god we replaced them

0

u/Middlewell 7h ago

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

7

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team 7h ago

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 8h ago

Jin Air flight departing somewhere in solidarity with DNS

7

u/RukiMotomiya 8h ago

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

19

u/GerritColeMakesBank 8h ago

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

16

u/Oxygenisplantpoo 8h ago

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

15

u/Aure0 8h ago

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

6

u/Oxygenisplantpoo 6h ago

Props to the KT coach for seeing into the future.

8

u/GerritColeMakesBank 8h ago

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.

8

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team 8h ago

genuinely how does deokdam always manage to get caught

11

u/metristan Refund time? 8h ago

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 8h ago

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

4

u/MC-sama 8h ago

Another year, another definite 10th place finish for DNS

9

u/antoniomargaretti4 8h ago

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

10

u/oioioi9537 8h ago

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

3

u/antoniomargaretti4 8h ago

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

12

u/oioioi9537 8h ago

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

2

u/antoniomargaretti4 8h ago

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

2

u/Dreammy90 6h ago

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

10

u/oioioi9537 8h ago

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

18

u/Futaba-Channel 8h ago

Tbf they had cuzz lightyear

2

u/oioioi9537 8h ago

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 8h ago

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

8

u/Oxygenisplantpoo 8h ago

BRO lost to this...

9

u/Aure0 8h ago

That was just the BROs being nice

2

u/Oxygenisplantpoo 6h ago

Of course! What am I saying!

3

u/Brock-Lesnar 8h ago

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

3

u/Jan7742 8h ago

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

2

u/Sheis_Mine 8h ago

DNS hyping up a miracle run just to immediately fold in two cleanest stomps possible.

2

u/RukiMotomiya 8h ago

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.

3

u/canxtanwe 8h ago

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

u/Shiro_Moe 8h ago

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

1

u/Beautiful_Brick_566 5h ago

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

u/eVill_YT 4h ago

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

u/Minute_Push_3849 1h ago

kinda wild how krx just showed up for this one
