Since HLE was the sole team knocked out of the LCK regular season, the entire HLE roster has been questioned by numerous LOL viewers. The head coach Homme, in particular, has been embroiled in a well-known LCK "bullying" scandal. Many HLE fans have personally funded "advertising trucks" to block the entrance to the HLE headquarters. A lot of these fans hope the management will replace the head coach in the upcoming season.Homme, as many HLE fans believe the players on the team are very talented but have been held back by their coach.

Of course, some LOL viewers think Homme’s drafting during matches is not the issue, noting that many of the BP (ban/pick) compositions used by HLE were the same as those employed by T1 in the regular season. Therefore, many believe that HLE’s failure against GEN is due to player IDs rather than strategy; if the players’ IDs were changed to those of T1 members, they might have a chance to beat GEN. (Do you think Homme is responsible for HLE’s poor regular season? It seems Homme’s reputation has seriously declined in recent years, and maybe Redmi isn’t suited for overall BP decisions.)

gumayusi’s tribute to Bin sparks heated discussion!

Despite HLE’s early elimination in the new season’s regular matches, the world’s top AD player gumayusi firmly believes that HLE has the ability to qualify for the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), the Oil Cup, and the World Championship. Moreover, gumayusi reassured fans in his paid fan group, stating that although HLE ranks at the bottom in the LCK, their potential ceiling is at a world-class level. This statement from gumayusi resonated strongly with many LPL viewers, who likened him to Bin from the LCK region.

Many T1 fans mocked gumayusi after hearing his claim that HLE is the strongest team globally. Numerous viewers think gumayusi’s three world championships owe much to teammates Faker, ONER, and support player K. Faker always steps up to "save the team" in critical matches, and K is widely recognized as a top-tier support worldwide. In contrast, since joining HLE, gumayusi has frequently died in team fights due to poor positioning, leading many to question HLE’s future potential.

Is Shidi likely to be the AD for the Asian Games?

gumayusi’s performance in the LCK regular season disappointed many viewers. According to the official LCK data rankings, gumayusi only placed fourth among AD players. The top three ADs in the LCK are known as gumayusi’s toughest "strict fathers." Ranked third is Diable, who last year defeated gumayusi twice in lane, pushing him to the bench. Second place goes to T1’s AD Peyz, who many fans jokingly call the "artificial big egg." The top spot belongs to Shidi, widely regarded as the strongest AD in the LCK.

The data charts clearly show that gumayusi lags behind Peyz and Shidi in multiple performance metrics. Many viewers believe that with gumayusi’s current form, it will be very difficult for him to be selected for the Asian Games team. After all, Zhu Kai revealed that the final roster for the Asian Games must be submitted before March. Therefore, many speculate the LCK’s AD spot for the Asian Games will be decided between Peyz and Shidi. (Who do you think is stronger, Shidi or Peyz?)
