The Famous VCS Commentator “Irritates” Both T1 and HLE Fans at the Same Time
Currently, the LCK 2025 has concluded with results solidified for all teams. T1’s journey will be incredibly challenging, while this is likely to be Peanut’s last World Championship as he has announced he will serve in the military next year. However, until the conclusion of the World Championship 2025, Peanut remains a player for HLE. Nevertheless, VCS commentator H.D made a move that “irritated” both T1 and HLE fans.
The commentator made statements that touched both HLE and T1.
Accordingly, the commentator unexpectedly suggested on his stream channel: “If Peanut takes a break, HLE could replace him with Oner.” He also asserted that HLE could break the contract of the player currently with T1 (currently, Oner’s contract with T1 lasts until the end of 2026). Commentator H.D even claimed that “the relationships among the players are still very good.”
However, according to T1 fans, HLE’s situation has nothing to do with Oner and there has almost never been a case in the LCK where a team splurged to break a player’s contract in the past. For HLE fans, while Peanut is still playing and is the captain of the team, discussing who might replace him at this time, from a fan’s perspective, shows a lack of respect for “Little Peanut’s” contributions to the “Orange House” team.
Oner still has a contract with T1 and it is unlikely that this player will transfer to HLE next season.
Additionally, this commentator also made a “mocking” remark regarding T1 fans’ saying “the 6th World Championship trophy is meant for Doran” when stating that this team cannot win the trophy anymore. This truly was the “last straw” that ignited the anger of T1 fans. The commentator himself had to lock his personal page after the incident.
T1 and HLE’s Season Is Not Over Yet
It can be said that the commentator’s discussion is not wrong, but that is when the season has concluded and players are no longer bound by contracts. Currently, this not only shows disrespect towards Peanut but also to Oner, even though these were just questions from the audience. Moreover, the assertion that T1 cannot win the trophy with Doran is no different than “adding fuel to the fire,” denying all efforts made by the players.
