Dplus and KT are BACK in action for playoffs / HLE's upcoming gauntlet
Dplus KIA springs back with improved form from Showmaker and Canna coupled with an emphasis on Canyon's early-game junglers like Lee Sin, Elise, and Viego.

T1's form is BETTER than their undefeated Spring 2022 / KT falls apart
T1 appears to be far and away the best team in the world with resounding wins over KT and Liiv SANDBOX, a trend in setting the meta with Keria using ADCs as supports, and incredible coordination. KT stumbles this week after some strange team compositions were used that appeared to mimic their opponents' picks instead of playing to their own strengths. Hanhwa Life appears to be on an upswing, albeit against weaker opponents, as they cultivate a conventional teamfighting style. Dplus crushes KT and appears to snap back into form with Showmaker putting up his best week since the start of Spring. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
