Last week, the LCK bore witness to what can only be described as a disaster-class clash. We had DN Supers, currently riding a miserable 30-game set losing streak, facing off against Nongshim RedForce, who were nursing a 10-match losing slide. It was a battle for pride, and Nongshim eventually scraped a 2-1 victory. However, by dropping that first set, they failed to stop DN Supers’ legendary 'all-loss road'—a repeat performance of last year’s drama.

LCK fans have responded with the classic 'I cannot forgive you' meme. It’s a cheeky jab at both sides: criticising DN Supers for their lacklustre performance despite a supposedly solid roster, while simultaneously mourning the fact that Nongshim couldn't manage a clean 2-0 sweep. The real question now is whether either team can find their footing once the third round kicks off after the MSI.
