Six world champion teams collectively missed MSI, Meiko's "over-command" became the focus of controversy

On June 9, DK lost to KT 0-3 in the first round of the LCK playoffs and officially missed the MSI. The League of Legends arena was once again in uproar. DK, nicknamed "the son" by LPL audiences, had a completely disappointing performance in this season. Not only did it fail to get through the first round, but it also exposed the shortcomings of many core players.

Looking back at DK 's performance this season, since they " assisted " three LPL teams to advance to the quarterfinals in last year's World Championship, they have become the " friendly army " in the eyes of Chinese fans . Among them, the mid-lane player SMK was teased as " Brother Xu " because he could not control Tsar and Yongen in important games . In the LCK regular season of this season , DK's state was ups and downs, and they lost consecutive games and almost missed the playoffs. As expected, they had no power to fight back in the game against KT .

In the first game , although DK once led KT by nearly 7,000 economy, it exposed serious operational problems in the middle and late stages. At the critical moment of the game, KT mid laner BDD seized the opportunity when DK's five players were pushing together and chose to steal the base alone. By the time DK reacted, BDD had destroyed five towers in a row to finish the game. In the following games, DK's morale was completely gone. Although some players occasionally performed well, the overall operation was still completely crushed by KT . The champion mid laner SMK 's hero pool flaws were exposed, and the support player " Genshin Brother " was also questioned because of his old age and declining operation. He, who was once known for his command, was completely defeated in the confrontation with KT .

With DK being eliminated, six teams that have won the world championship have missed the 2025 MSI , including S1 champion FNC , S2 champion JT ( TPA ), S9 champion FPX , S10 champion DK , S11 champion EDG , and S12 champion DRX . This fact undoubtedly makes many old fans sigh. Currently, there are four teams that have been confirmed to advance to MSI , namely: G2 , CFO , GAM and MKOI .

At the same time, LPL team IG was also caught up in internal controversy. In the last BO5 against WBG , the on-field command behavior of the support player Meiko once again caused controversy. Previously, he was fiercely criticized by fans for dissuading TheShy from crossing the tower during the communication. Recently, IG officially released more post-match voices, and many fans noticed that Meiko frequently " teaching " his teammates to release skills during the game , and even gave detailed instructions on the operation steps of the mid-lane ROOKIE and the top-lane TheShy in team battles .

This behavior has aroused many doubts. Many viewers believe that as experienced veterans, TheShy and ROOKIE do not need such " hands-on " guidance. Some comments pointed out that if Meiko can reduce his command energy and focus on his own operations, he may perform better. What is noteworthy is that in the voice chat with WBG , IG 's command power has quietly changed, and is shared by jungler Jiejie and top laner TheShy .
