Up to now, the first week of LCK has occurred many unexpected results. The first is the Top 3 team of the Spring – HLE tournament before DK in the opening match of the summer LCK 2024. Or the latest is that KT with many famous players who have won the World Championship was suddenly defeated by KDF with a score of 2-0.

However, what surprised more people is the background of the new gunner on KDF – Leapr. Specifically, this 2000 guy used to be a trainee in the Drx team but only stayed for about 2 months. After that, Leaple moved to Youtuber to League of Legends and had certain successes when he reached a milestone of 100,000 registered and still posted videos regularly.
Before joining KDF, Leapr has worked for YouTuber for 4 consecutive years
Moreover, the LCK audience also shared an interesting story about Leapr with Deft (KT's current gunner). Accordingly, Deft is the motivation to help Leapr want to become a professional player and join the Drx Academy team. However, after a period of observation and practice, Leaple felt that he could not afford to compete with Deft, so he quit to work as Youtube. And coincidentally, right in the first match at LCK, Leapr has defeated Deft itself.
That makes KT's failure more painful in the eyes of fans. It should be known that the current KT owns up to 3 former Worlds, including Deft, Beryl and Pyosik. However, they did not show the superiority in terms of bravery and received too quickly failed. This makes many viewers invisible and think that KT will have a bad journey at the summer LCK 2024.
“It is funny that Deft was completely defeated by a 24 -year -old gunner” – an ironic commentary.
“Very good KT, when this squad disband” – another audience frankly shared
“KT is a pathetic team” – a gamer concludes
Indeed, when looking back at the last match, the audience can see that KT has not been well prepared for this match. They seem to be trapped with the meta of the spring stage when prioritizing the safety of the Senna – Tahm Kench. This led to the period of KT's travel period and made this team not create an advantage when entering the fight.

Naturally, KT's last defeat was not enough to confirm that this team would have a failed season. The current squad of KT has a slow but good starting tradition in the later stage of the group stage. It was KT in the LCK Spring 2024 that also failed to KDF but they still had the 4th place when the eagle closed round.
The last defeat was probably a “cold water” needed to be more alert and seeking to regain his form
However, the failure to KDF is also a wake -up bell with the KT collective. They need to quickly improve their performance, adapt to the current meta to get better results and raise the ambition to compete for the ticket to Worlds 2024.
