The second week of the LCK regular season's second stage has been underway for two days. After securing their first win, BFX faced NS, who have recently regained their form. "Little Brother" continued to perform strongly, leading his team to a 2:0 shutout against BFX. Unable to defeat strong teams, they can only bully weaker ones. After playing the Pioneer Tournament, BFX's tactics were completely exposed. By targeting the bottom lane and silencing their star player Diable, this team now struggles to compete.

Another match was DK versus KT. After defeating GEN, "Xu Ge" was in a hot streak, but this team is peculiar: when Xu Ge performs well, his teammates inevitably falter. Although they played three full games, DK still lost the match. KT in this stage has become the league's dominant force, winning all 5 matches without losing a single game, defeating all the strong teams. With this momentum, their MSI qualification seems secure.

Faker was targeted by GEN fans.

GEN fans recently spread rumors about "Old Lee" (Faker) evading taxes. After his agency refuted the claims, these individuals remained restless. Recently, on GEN's team forum, someone shared Faker's residence location via Google Maps, and others went to stake out the T1 dormitory. This targeting operation directly angered T1, prompting them to issue a statement: condemning violations of players' privacy and stating they will take legal measures to protect player safety.

Even daring to target Old Lee, these fans are truly insane. Such actions are severely illegal. If T1 pursues this deeply, the person who exposed the address will face serious consequences. The issue of "Ruler" evading taxes had already subsided in public opinion, but these two moves by fans dragged him back into controversy. For a moment, it's unclear whether these fans genuinely want to protect Ruler's image or if they wish he would fade away faster.

Riot announces Etahan's return.

After last year's World Championship, Etahan was removed by Riot designers due to its excessive influence and difficulty to balance. However, the developers seem somewhat fixated on this jungle monster. Recently, while discussing updates on his personal channel, a designer revealed: Etahan might return at some point. The designer stated: Etahan has some issues we want to address or mitigate.

“We might revisit Etahan's design phase to reconsider certain aspects.” This means Etahan will return this season, but the specific adjustments and release timing are still uncertain. Rehashing old content to earn a paycheck—Riot's designers really act on whims. If adjustments are needed, it's better to do them early, not suddenly make major changes just before the World Championship.

LPL first week's best lineup announced.

The LPL second week has begun. Recently, the official organization announced the best lineup for the first week. BLG, who won all three matches, occupied four positions alone. Except for jungler Xun, all other members were selected as weekly best. The jungler position was awarded to Tian, who just returned. Tian's contribution to Top Esports achieving a 3-1 record is undeniable. His early-game rhythm in each match was excellent, and he could carry in the late game.

During the transfer period, Top Esports fans fiercely opposed Tian. Now they probably have nothing to say. He leads the team to win various matches, responding to doubts with performance. Surprisingly, no one from IG was on the list. They also had a 3-0 record in the first week. Looking at the IDs, BLG's four selections are justified: Bin has consistently performed strongly, "Left Hand" has regained form, and the bottom lane duo's strength is top-tier in the league.

Conclusion:

When rumors fail, resort to targeting—GEN fans are truly outrageous. Wanting to help Ruler clear his name is understandable, but targeting Old Lee is unwise. Who is Faker? Not just LCK viewers, even LPL players know clearly. Continuing like this will not only ruin Ruler's reputation but also provoke public anger against the GEN club itself.

So, how do you think Tian performed?
