LazyFeel is facing many difficulties and an uncertain future
From the early stages of LCK Cup 2026 through the final matches of the LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2 group stage, Vietnamese ADC LazyFeel left a strong impression. Although KRX’s performance was inconsistent, LazyFeel’s contribution was still notable. Naturally, facing so many talented AD carries currently makes his struggles understandable. However, after losing his starting position to Jiwoo in the final matches, the only Vietnamese ADC in LCK now finds himself in a dilemma.
In a recent stream, LazyFeel had a brief conversation with Optimus. Despite his senior reassuring him, LazyFeel admitted he performed poorly. He even said, “But lately I’ve really been playing badly. I think my last group stage game (KRX vs BNK) was my worst day.”
In reality, KRX had a very poor showing against BNK, but it wasn’t just LazyFeel to blame — it was a team-wide issue for the “Blue Dragon”. Additionally, LazyFeel was up against Taeyoon, the AD with the highest POM score in the group stage, which is understandable. Even after substituting Jiwoo in, KRX only managed to eke out one win against DK before ultimately losing 1-2.
However, LazyFeel became the focus of criticism. There are many reasons, including sensitive factors no one openly discusses but everyone understands. As a result, LazyFeel’s position in Rounds 3-4 is now highly unstable. It wouldn’t be surprising if he returns to LCK CL.
Likelihood of LazyFeel returning to LCK CL is very high
Promoting Jiwoo to the main roster and benching LazyFeel, whatever the tactical intent, clearly threatens the Vietnamese ADC’s spot. It’s very likely that in Rounds 3-4, as the season heats up for titles and Worlds spots, KRX will send LazyFeel back to LCK CL. The reasons may go beyond just performance factors.
