Don't think it's enough though, T1 and GenG have the best veterans and insane recent talent, they're basically damned to 3rd place unless Canyon can peak high enough to solocarry entire series vs world class teams. | ||

Well, there's kinda no way they get Rascal or Kiin this season but Nuguri is a Free Agent. Idk, I think a core of even close to peak Nuguri/Canyon/Showmaker is enough to carry them. You're saying that they're doomed to 3rd place with a worse top after they just pushed Gen.G to 5 games and threw a 11k gold lead in the final game? They could still be 3rd even after getting Nuguri, but I don't think it's as sure a thing as you think. This was probs showmaker's worst split since his debut...and they still pushed Gen.G with supposedly "the best veterans and new talent". | ||

Showmaker slumped this split, no doubt it affected DK. But even if he recovered, Faker and Chovy are playing extremely well atm, so DK can't easily carry through mid. | ||

The top 3 teams have grabbed all the best players of the last 4 years of LCK (T1 lineup was just hidden from public view), they are mostly veteran teams by now, deokdam and Burdol are the only newish members. Would be insane for someone like Canyon or Ruler to peak even higher, they are already world class. Although you're right, if DK find their former team synergy again they could likely fight for 2nd. Showmaker slumped this split, no doubt it affected DK. But even if he recovered, Faker and Chovy are playing extremely well atm, so DK can't easily carry through mid. i think if nuguri joined dk now dk would be a strong candidate for 2nd. i dont think that even with nuguri dk would be anywhere near t1's level. deokdam kellin are supposed to be a better bot duo than ghost beryl in a vacuum, however ghost beryl were better for dk. also based on the voice comms we get for dk it seems that showmaker is predominantly the shotcaller and hes quickly finding out that he aint no faker who can play the game and shotcall simultaneously. canyon's shotcalling from what ive seen seems limited to things hes doing specifically such as "im going to invade. watch me". even if nuguri comes back this problem for showmaker isnt alleviated. either showmaker has to get used to it or they need another beryl | ||

But the shotcalling is definitely lacking. If I remember right, Nuguri likes being told what to do so he can focus on winning lane, so he'd be another burden for SM. Tbh, Burdol isn't even that bad for a rookie, Zeus also didn't look great when T1 tried tested him last year. I wonder how drastic measures DK will take to try and fix their problems. | ||
