The “Hilarious” Use of Coach-Voice at LCK Cup 2026
As known, in the new season, the introduction of the coach-voice mechanism has been widely discussed in the League of Legends community and is currently being tested in LCK as well as LCP. Among them, the matches of LCK are particularly noted for the prestigious teams and the highest quality of professional League of Legends today. Of course, many teams have used coach-voice at LCK Cup 2026, but the most “hilarious” situation has to be the case of DK.
Specifically, in the match against NS on the afternoon of January 21 (Vietnam time), DK used coach-voice but not to give any instructions or guidance. Coach CvMax simply used this mechanism to… congratulate his players on their victory. As soon as DK won the decisive team fight, Coach CvMax could not hold back and erupted in the coach-voice: “Smash, great situational judgment, everyone did really well!”.
It can be said that although coach-voice has been used many times at LCK Cup 2026, especially by weaker teams, a situation like that of Coach CvMax is indeed unprecedented. However, from this point, many have realized that coach-voice does not always have to be used for directives.
The Community Excited by DK’s Situation at LCK Cup 2026
According to many opinions, since its launch, coach-voice has always been assumed to be a tool for giving instructions. From the situation of CvMax and DK, many viewers hope that teams currently still “rigid” with this mechanism will be more flexible. In fact, in some cases, these emotional situations can bring interesting elements to professional League of Legends matches.
– Hopefully T1 will see this clip and Coach KkOma will also use coach-voice one day
– CvMax has boosted the confidence of his players quite well
– It will be exciting when regions like LEC also start using it
In fact, the coach-voice mechanism has been and continues to be very helpful for smaller teams. However, larger teams have yet to show much enthusiasm. Yet, in the future, as international tournaments like MSI, EWC, or Worlds also adopt it, the community may witness even more situations where coach-voice has a clear impact.
