Peanut Announces ‘Last Dance’, HLE Fans Hope for ‘Active Passive’

Peanut announces “last dance” after the 2025 season ends

The year 2025 is expected to be extremely eventful for the global League of Legends community, as Riot implements a series of new format changes that will directly impact tournaments and the teams participating in them. At the same time, many players have made announcements or hints about their futures. While Faker has extended his contract with T1 until 2029, in a different context, his former teammate at SKT T1 – Peanut, has announced his retirement.

Accordingly, Peanut shared after winning against KT and securing a spot in the LCK 2025 finals: “I have no intention of coming back. But I am also happy that the day has come. I think I am quite lucky. And I can leave without any regrets. However, the LCK is not over yet, and I would be very happy to end my journey in the LCK with a championship.”

For those who don’t know, the finals of LCK 2025 will be held at Inspire Arena in Incheon. Therefore, with the victory against KT, this is also Peanut’s last match at LoL Park – the “sanctuary” of Korean League of Legends.

HLE fans think about “last dance buff” for Peanut

With Peanut’s announcements, it can be understood that after the 2025 Worlds, he will also bid farewell to his career as a player. Many viewers, especially HLE fans, are very hopeful that Peanut will win both the LCK 2025 and the 2025 Worlds thanks to the “last dance buff” like Deft did in his time.

For those who don’t know, Deft in 2022 had intended to retire after the season ended. However, the Worlds championship that year motivated him to continue competing for two more years before truly saying goodbye to professional League of Legends at the end of 2024.

Peanut’s career has also gone through many ups and downs. And if he can win the 2025 Worlds, it would be a fulfilling end for the illustrious jungler of the LCK and a very close teammate of Faker.
