@IsabellaLe99 @sodachanh117 @arnoldwh @rideonFaker_ 90% of their recent wins are hard carried by Chovy and some by Kiin. So making a point on Kiin over Zeus makes some sense, but Canyon's performance is definitely subpar compared to Oner/Kanavi.

@feverrevery @sodachanh117 @arnoldwh @rideonFaker_ What about the match before in R1 LCK? It’s a BO3 and it’s a 2-1 results btw 😀

I want to say something about Kiin, because I want to be direct with our fanbase about how I feel. They published the selection criteria. Read them for yourself, because they matter. After the achievement-based shortlist, the final roster came down to what they themselves called "detailed individual metrics." If you understand the game, look at that list and ask one question: what does a top laner do to make most of those numbers go up? He gets the favorable matchup. He gets the comfort pick. He gets resources funneled into his lane. Solo kills, DPM, DPG, gold diff at 14, CS diff at 14, every one of those climbs when the draft is built around you, and sinks when you give the lane up so a teammate can have theirs. Now ask what Kiin does. Kiin is the top laner who says "draft around everyone else and give me the leftover pick, I'll make it work." He takes the counterpick so a teammate gets comfort. He eats the hard matchup so the map opens elsewhere. Every one of those choices is a teammate's DPM going up instead of his. He trades his stat line for his team's win condition, every single game. There's no column on that list for that. The closest it comes to team value, gold share, damage share, still rewards the player who gets the resources, not the one who gives them up. And champion pool size is right there on the list: a metric that should favor exactly the kind of flexible player Kiin is. He plays one of the widest, most selfless pools in the role and still didn't make it. And before anyone runs with this: this is not about Zeus. Zeus is world-class and earned his spot. The players aren't the problem. The measuring stick is. We need to more rigorously test the statistics we cite, especially when it becomes a measuring stick that can impact decisions like these. If your criteria are built mostly from individual mechanical stats without proper statistical context, you haven't found the best players, you've found the players whose teams were built to make them look best. Kiin plays the game the right way. If these metrics say otherwise, the metrics are the problem, not Kiin, and not the players who were picked. To Kiin's fans: you already know this. You watched him do it. Please show him more support than ever.

@Zaralolll @weezy_youss11 I say it like it is. I would have supported geng players to represent Korea if they performed a bit better in First Stand. Everyone expected them high and they didn't throw a single punch against G2, it was too fucking disgusting. I lost all my hope with this team after that.

@feverrevery @weezy_youss11 Chaotic Neutral take bro i kneel

Now let's talk about MSI, and why I wanted to establish that the criteria themselves are flawed before getting into this. I still do not know why MSI, the midseason international event, wasn't in the criteria, while KESPA Cup, a preseason event, was. So I pulled Riot's API and ran their own criteria stats across 2024–2026: EWC 2025, MSI 2024–25, Worlds 2024–25, LCK 2024–26, and First Stand 2025–26. The result: Kiin ranks #1 in Overall (image 1), and clearly so. Include KESPA Cup (image 2) as well and the margin narrows, but he's still #1. For a moment, I'm willing to set aside every concern about whether these are even the right metrics, and take their stat list exactly as given. Even then, the moment the event scope is wider, Kiin is the top player. He only isn't #1 if the window stays narrow, limited to just their chosen list of events. And you don't even have to agree with my earlier point that the metrics themselves are flawed. Even using their statistical metrics across a wider, fairer set of events, their own numbers put Kiin first. Kiin deserves better.

@Zaralolll @weezy_youss11 Did I say HLE was good? Zeus is performing worse than Doran. They should just put Siwoo/Perfect/Doran instead of these overrated players

@feverrevery @weezy_youss11 Shitwa Life was 10th Maybe they should focus on that bro 😂

@weezy_youss11 The choice that got swept by G2 with zero fightback whatsoever . Kespa should really investigate if any match-fixing happened during the First Stand before they choose those players to represent Korea 😅

@sauce43389393 @arnoldwh They can represent Korea but with more fair and deserve choice

@IsabellaLe99 @sodachanh117 @arnoldwh @rideonFaker_ Last week against t1 he played Pantheon and used his R twice the entire game: one to run away and one before the nexus exploded 😂 While his teammates got fisted by Oner. He's worse than Cuzz without a jungle carry meta.

@sodachanh117 @arnoldwh @rideonFaker_ This is very out of context. Arnold was referring to top lane, and you’re referring to jungler with different kind of impact in the game. If u want to target attack Canyon, better give arguments instead of being pathetic enough to data dump and not providing any rationale
