Introduction: The S16 season has officially begun, and most fans have been following the recent matches. The competition in the LCK region is extremely fierce. Over the past few days, a dark horse team has emerged in LCK—the runner-up from last season's World Championship—which has fully awakened in the second stage, successively defeating three top mid laners from the LCK region. Currently, with a record of three wins, they have climbed to the top of the LCK rankings. Faker, Chovy, and Scout have all been outperformed by him. Is BDD really aiming to compete for a starting spot at the Asian Games this season? Based on his current performance, he certainly has a chance.

LCK's strongest dark horse team emerges.

Most fans are quite familiar with the LCK region. As the公认的世界第一赛区, its overall development has been rapid over the past few years, with outstanding achievements, including consecutive World Championship titles. This season's Global先锋赛 was a major setback for LCK; Gen and BFX teams were highly anticipated but were consistently dominated by G2 in the knockout stage, resulting in LCK failing to advance to the finals, with the championship ultimately won by the BLG team from the LPL region. In the second stage, their adjustments were not extensive, yet their performance fluctuated significantly, especially among the top-ranked teams.

In recent matches, KT team defeated NS team 2-0, securing a three-win streak at the start and ranking first in the LCK with a 3-0 record and a net win score of 5. The first game was highly intense, lasting 38 minutes, where Aiming's Caitlyn, with her long-range advantage, secured victory in team fights,艰难地 winning the first match. The second game had no悬念, with a significant gap in jungle performance; Cuzz achieved a 10-3-17 record, driving the节奏 of the entire game—28 kills, 27 of which were related to him. Currently, KT team seems transformed.

After this match, mid laner BDD has become a焦点. As a veteran LCK mid laner, once considered Faker's successor, after a few quiet years, his form has gradually improved. This season, he has consecutively defeated Faker, Chovy, and Scout—three currently top mid laners in LCK—his victories indeed boosting morale. Many netizens even speculate: Is BDD competing for the starting mid laner spot at the Asian Games? Based on current form, neither Faker nor Chovy's consistency matches his, but if selection occurs, Faker likely cannot be excluded, as he is already an LCK legend.

Looking at the current LCK standings: KT team leads with a 3-0 record, ranking first. Gen, HLE, and NS teams follow closely with 2-1 records. DNS team holds a 1-1 record, placing fifth. BRO, DK, T1, and KRX teams rank sixth to ninth with 1-2 records. Meanwhile, BFX team, the second seed that recently participated in the Global先锋赛, currently holds a 0-2 record, ranking last in LCK. Currently, T1 team seems particularly struggling, having only defeated HLE—though this is also related to match intensity, as their two losses were against Gen and KT teams.

再见认为

Surprisingly, nearing the end of his career, BDD has迎来 his second peak. Last season, his performance was already quite stable; after participating in World Championship matches, he even eliminated Gen team, securing the runner-up position. In the second stage, his plays have become increasingly impressive. If he maintains consistency going forward and participates in MSI matches, he might genuinely have a chance to secure the starting mid laner spot at the Asian Games.
