Kanavi's dark history is spreading through the LCK!

As a former star jungler in the LPL, Kanavi is both loved and hated by LPL fans. When Kanavi is feeling good, he can lead his team to dominate the opposition and was once called the number one jungler in the LPL by many viewers. But when he's in a bad mood, he becomes a "traitor," taking the lead in throwing games. Because of Kanavi's extreme inconsistency, many LPL fans are eager to see if he can overcome his bad habits after joining HLE and become a top jungler in the LCK.

As Kanavi's matches in the LCK continue, many viewers are left disappointed and speechless. In the LCK, known for its disciplined playstyle, Kanavi still maintains his unique LPL-style gameplay. Due to his distinctive style, many LCK fans have uncovered various "dark history" stories from Kanavi’s LPL days. Among these, the most widely spread nickname in the LCK is "F6 Sage." (In LCK matches, Kanavi’s deaths mostly occurred around the enemy jungle’s F6 monster camp.)

"F6 Sage" mocked by LCK casters

Fans who frequently watch Kanavi’s games know he loves to "kidnap" teammates to invade the enemy jungle. When Kanavi was in TES, he had a close relationship with coach Hongmi, and teammates usually cooperated with him. After returning to the LCK to join HLE, Kanavi is the oldest player on the team, so others follow his jungle invasion plans. Because Kanavi favors invading, many LCK teams set traps using the F6 monster camp as bait.

When Kanavi gets caught while invading, HLE must send many players to assist him, often leading to team fights. This kind of scenario has surprised many LCK official casters. In the match between HLE and DNS, team fights repeatedly broke out around F6. An LCK caster joked publicly, “I’ve seen team fights around the Dragon and the Baron, but never one erupting at the F6 monster camp.”

Xiao Lübu openly criticizes Hongmi, sparking heated discussion

Since returning to the LCK, HLE coach Hongmi has completely distanced himself from the LPL, frequently praising the LCK and belittling the LPL in interviews. Recently, the LCK officials unexpectedly "exposed" Hongmi by releasing HLE’s in-team voice chat, where HLE’s AD player Xiao Lübu openly criticized Hongmi’s draft picks. The issue arose during the key match against T1, when Xiao Lübu begged Hongmi to ban T1’s support player K’s Bard, but Hongmi ignored this and instead allowed T1 to pick their signature mid Orianna, jungle Nocturne, and support Bard combo.

After hearing HLE’s internal voice chat, many LCK fans questioned Hongmi’s coaching ability. Since Xiao Lübu has been K’s longtime support partner, he knows K’s champion pool inside out, yet Hongmi disregarded his advice, leaving many HLE fans frustrated. Additionally, Hongmi’s recent drafts have been considered too abstract. As a result, many HLE fans have flooded HLE’s official social media demanding Hongmi be replaced. (The LCK regular season uses BO3, where Hongmi has already started making abstract drafts. Fans are now anxious to see how he drafts for BO5 matches. Previously, in a BO5 elimination match between HLE and T1, Hongmi drafted a late-game heavy lineup with top Camille, jungle Dr. Mundo, and mid Kassadin.)
