In the LCK second stage regular season, the first week of matches is nearly over. After being dominated by GEN, T1 finally encountered a weaker opponent, facing DNS. T1 easily secured a 2:0 victory, achieving their second win in this stage. Although they won, T1's two side lanes performed somewhat poorly. In the first game, Doran's Sion, in a situation where he could have coasted to victory, insisted on engaging and giving away several kills, nearly allowing the opponent's Gwen to become overwhelmingly strong.

In the second game, his Gnar was even solo killed by the opponent in a 1v2 situation. Fortunately, he contributed in team fights, otherwise T1 might have had to play a full three-game series against DNS. Regarding Peyz, his performance was just average. Even when picking Ezreal, he couldn't withstand pressure; whenever Keria roamed, the AD carry would instantly die. However, compared to the previous two matches, there was some improvement. T1's upcoming opponents are not particularly strong, so they can focus on磨合 during this period and strive for a winning streak.

BFX suffers three consecutive losses at the start of the season.

LCK Pioneer Tournament second seed BFX seems to have been demoralized after the international tournament. In their recent match against HLE, BFX lost again. Since the start of the second stage, BFX has played three matches, all resulting in losses. It's unclear whether they were overwhelmed by G2 in the Pioneer Tournament or if internal team issues arose. After returning to the league, BFX's performance has sharply declined, and their points rank at the bottom of the league.

There are ten teams in LCK, and currently only BFX has not secured a first win. It's understandable that they can't defeat GEN and HLE, but even in the opening match against BRO, they were cleanly swept 2:0, which is quite perplexing. Previously, BFX focused on playing around Diable, but after the Pioneer Tournament, they suddenly shifted to the top side. This tactical adjustment directly led to consecutive losses. If this dark horse team doesn't revert to focusing on the bot lane, it seems their first win will remain elusive.

957 applies for public institution.

Recently, the Hangzhou Human Resources and Social Security Bureau released a recruitment notice that sparked discussion within the esports community. The position is for an esports coach, requiring candidates to have achieved top-eight results in national-level esports competitions. Those meeting the education, age, and履历 requirements can apply. The transition from professional player to public institution instantly attracted many, with LPL commentator 957 intending to apply.

As one of the few undergraduate players in LPL, Leg Brother's age and education fall within the报名 range. Moreover, he has won a championship in LPL and reached the semifinals in world tournaments, making the position almost tailor-made for him. Upon receiving the news, Leg Brother promptly applied. However, viewers believe Letme is even more suitable, as白云 has MSI and Asian Games冠军, and关键 is,白云 has published a book and can write articles.

Da Huang speaks out to defend 369.

After cleanly sweeping WE, TES secured a two-game winning streak. The new top laner Zuian has performed well in recent matches, leading to many viewers criticizing 369, who is currently benched. Da Huang, who previously played alongside老9 in the same team, recently spoke out during a直播 to defend 369. Da Huang stated: People are too harsh on 369. Although he sometimes plays poorly, it doesn't mean he always performs like that.

Da Huang believes 369 was negatively influenced by红米, losing his previous aggressiveness. Honestly, after leaving JDG and returning to TES, 369's form has continuously declined. Last year when红米 was at TES, he played decently, but after红米 left, he seemed unable to play properly. This statement isn't entirely wrong, but红米 is actually somewhat an恩人 to老9; without him,老9 might have早已 become a second-tier top laner.

Conclusion:

BFX's performance decline is truly drastic. After the Pioneer Tournament, they now seem to have lost their understanding of how to play the game. The版本 in the first stage isn't significantly different from the second stage. Perhaps, similar to AL, their playstyle has been completely exposed. Focusing solely on the bot lane means other teams don't need to研究 much to know how to counter them. The coach attempted to break this pattern, but the效果 wasn't great.

So, what do you think is 369's current level?
