One of KC's 🇫🇷 main focuses during their Worlds bootcamp was improving individual decision making after their LEC playoff struggles Reapered 🇰🇷 explained why: “If you don’t know what to do, you rely on your teammates and start losing your momentum and mentality, so you follow the call without seeing how it plays out, you play it anyway, and then you lose the game. That happened a lot in our playoff run, so it’s just another day where we have to stand up, push our standards high, and everyone just plays his game”

Reapered 🇰🇷 doesn't seem too worried about facing Anyone's Legend 👇

FUR Tatu 🇧🇷 on his ambitions to compete in another region after Worlds 2026: “I love Brazil. I really want to have more shots with Brazil at internationals and do well. But my idea is to be the best in Brazil and, at some point, go to another region and be the best out there too. For that, I need to go into next year, be the best in Brazil again, and do better at internationals. That’s the path, and that’s what I’m going to do. Let’s see.”

Reapered 🇰🇷: “Are we winning because we play against worse teams? Yes. But do we look strong? Yes.” After KC’s qualification for #Worlds2026 Main Event, the head coach went through: - The reasons behind KC's underperformances - The in-game work done during bootcamp - How far this team can go - Facing AL by @ChnEthan ⤵️
