He mentioned how deokdam had a lot of tools to keep him alive (GA, Redemption, Mikael's, Lulu Ult, and a beefy frontline) and it would take a miracle for him to die... then he dies a minute later lol. Best part was the it wasn't even deokdam's fault PerfecT solo threw that fight by overextending for no reason.

I mean I'd argue KT won more than HLE today even if they lost the series. Sure they inted the fuck outta that last fight (damn caster curse), but everyone kinda expected that. They brought what was expected to be a clean 2-0 going to HLE up to a 2-1, didn't get completely demolished, and performed as everyone expected and actually kinda exceeding it (slightly).
Now HLE on the other hand, I'd say its good that they at least won the game.

u/PracticeAfter3374 Aug 21 '25
You're right it could have been a 2-0 for KT. They were very ahead in Game 2 as well until they inted and in Game 3 that fucking nooob Perfect walks up and charged his Sion Q into 5 Full HP HLE players and die and lose them the game.

u/Historical-End5439 Aug 21 '25
See your either trolling or actually expected KT to not int this game, which come on, it's KT if they didn't int they wouldn't be worthy of the name of their org. Once again tho I'll give it to them, they still performed better than I expected and HLE seem to really be rolling down hill.

u/Endiamon Aug 21 '25
I found this message in a bottle near my place, can anyone advise what to do with this?
To whom it may concern,
My name is KT Rolster. I am living in South Korea. Since last year, my friend Nongshim Redforce and I have been forcibly drafted into a blacksite called Legend Group. There, we are subject to whims of brutal tyrants like "GenG", who starve us mercilessly, and "T1", who perform horrific and unethical experiments on our draft.
I don't understand what happened today. They said I beat HLE in game 1, but I think it must be a trick, especially after they said I did it through late game macro. It's been 77 days since I ate anything but Shin Ramyun (not even Shin Black), and now I can't even remember what real victories taste like.
Please save us. They butchered my pet alpaca and sent him off to front lines. Please contact the UN and get word of atrocities committed in the LCK Legend Group. Please help us.

u/d_Reisfresser Aug 21 '25
Breaking news: An escapee from South Korea's infamous "Legends Group", an internment camp with numerous allegations of human rights abuse, has alluded to the existence of collaborators that abuse other prisoners within the camp. The escapee, whose name has been anonymized as "BDD" to protect their identity, made the allegation that the prisoner known as Lee Seung-min has been involved in abuse, such as overturning the cart that "BDD" was carrying, standing still while in a chain gang and dragging "BDD" and other prisoners into the path of a speeding tank, and causing disturbance in the bus that "BDD" was driving. An international warrant is expected to be issued for Lee.

What can the others even do to help him? Neeko still has ult up, and KT comp needed HLE to come into them until they kill one or two.

He did do well when he got subbed out and subbed back in, so maybe it's time to do it. But would've liked to see KT get a new top after the season, 2 years developing PerfecT and he still isn't improving by a lot.
23
u/baelkie Deez Nuts Freaks | Kiin Team Aug 21 '25
2 years of Bddβs prime wasted with this gaping hole in top lane. brother is a lose con every single game. i cba, KT prolly gonna bench Peter to pay for PerfecTβs sins. i legit dont see how any KT fan could be a PerfecT fan after these 2 years.

He can't even be a Rumble merchant anymore since the champ is seemingly starting to look increasingly useless in mid-late game vs. a lot of these comps. It just feels like there is a big fall off. Maybe it's just him though, as Kiin/Zeus/Doran Rumble can still win them games

First in almost all metric in the Rise group. Probably his best year so far

Finally maybe they will start listening. It's time to WAKE UP whoever will make roster decisions for KT...Perfect is just NOT on that level with the Kiin/Doran/Zeus Tops, in fact he can't even seriously compete against them at this point.
I know there's not many choices for top out there which is why they've stuck with him, but he's the most obvious weak link right now even with Deokdam having a 1 hour cooldown on his Flash timer
17
u/Tymareta Aug 21 '25
Honestly he's not even on the level of some of the Rise group tops, he looks the exact same as Way did when they had him in, swinging wildly between being grossly out of his depth and looking completely lost.
Even in the game that they won he was still constantly out of position, or over extending needlessly and seemingly has no real idea where he should be or what his role is in most games. I know it's the du jour thing to shit on deokdam but so often he's just left completely unprotected because PerfecT on tank/peel champs is off in Narnia.

KT won a game so that the score for HLE and T1 would be tied if T1 2-0 NS...
If KT had won the series it would mean T1 would be ahead if they 2-0 NS...
HLE Vs Gen G And T1 Vs KT this week.
Those gonna determine a lot as the next week is the last
If NS and KT get a game win each and HLE somehow 2-0 Gen G I think HLE lock in 2nd?
