Showmaker and DK set up a shameful achievement for LCK at Worlds
It can be said that the other Dplus at Worlds 2024 had a journey even more arduous than last year's KT Rolster. Perhaps many people still remember, KT himself had to encounter all 4 seed teams of LPL and stop in the quarterfinals of Worlds 2023. However, DK is even more tragic. Only 2 opponents from the West can judge as “easy to breathe” for DK while they have to confront the 3 strongest teams LPL. The outcome was not beyond the prediction of many viewers when DK had to stop in the Swiss Worlds 2024 after the defeat of the WBG.
DK (right) failed before WBG and had to leave Worlds 2024
This turned DK into the first team in the history of the absence of LCK in the quarterfinals of a World Worlds for 2 consecutive years. In addition, Showmaker is also the first LCK player in the history of Worlds, not entering the quarterfinals for 2 consecutive years. This may be a very embarrassing achievement of Showmaker, in the context that this can be considered the year he has shown very well after having to break up with his last teammate in the 2020 World Championship force.
Showmaker also became the first LCK player in the history of not reaching the quarterfinals in 2 consecutive Worlds
Showmaker has not been able to overcome the abyss
Since Worlds 2021, DK and Showmaker themselves are no longer themselves. Then in the following years, Showmaker looked at his former teammates to have new directions. Some people have officially “quit the game” but also have the names that succeeded in the new team (Beryl, Canyon). Meanwhile, Showmaker, despite their efforts but still “stood still”. And he himself seemed to have not passed away from the “abyss” after the first time was quite successful.
Showmaker has not been able to find glory since Worlds 2021
Showmaker itself is still a leading midway LCK. But if you continue this series of days, not only Showmaker himself cannot find glory, but he himself is wasting his peak time. At the present time, not only Faker or Chovy, but also Zeka or BDD, not to mention the younger players. Showmaker's time is shortening each year but when he finds glory, maybe Showmaker himself does not know.
