Keria’s play and Pyosik’s reaction steal the spotlight in T1’s win
As the Vietnamese LMHT community eagerly awaits the LCK Roadshow 2026 in Vietnam, another match took place on the afternoon of 08/05: T1 versus DNS. Facing an opponent struggling with many issues, a quick and one-sided victory for T1 was expected. Thus, in an otherwise “uneventful” game, Keria’s performance and Pyosik’s reaction became the main focus.
Specifically, in game 2, Keria played Neeko and “disguised” as the Elemental Frog. It seemed obvious this would be easily spotted since the real Frog was still nearby. However, DNS’s jungler Pyosik still approached and even threw a basic attack. By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late—Keria executed a perfect “burst” play that helped T1 take down two DNS members, including Pyosik.
Keria Earns Praise from the LMHT Community
The interesting part about this moment is that Keria’s trick was quite clumsy but still fooled a very experienced player like Pyosik. No one knows what the 2022 World Champion was thinking at that moment, but from then on, DNS lost control of game 2.
– I really can’t believe Pyosik got tricked there
– Could say it was a god’s-eye view, but maybe DNS had vision blocked
– I think Pyosik didn’t see one of the two Frogs
– Keria’s play was great, but what’s important is he dared to try and succeeded
– Spectators have an easier time seeing it, but even pros might not; this can be considered a trick, with Pyosik under jungle pressure and seeing Keria on Neeko as well
Nonetheless, Keria received lots of praise for a simple but effective “trap.” Pyosik’s stunned reaction likely came from his surprise at being fooled so easily.
