The 20-year-old T1 botlaner, Kim "Peyz" Su-hwan, continues to impress the League of Legends community, increasingly being mentioned as potentially the best ADC in the world. After a dominant 2-0 victory over Dplus Kia, the player not only solidified his team's success but also secured his milestone 200th win in the Korean LCK league.
In the series against DK, Peyz showcased flawless mechanics playing Jhin and Lucian. He finished the matchup with an overall KDA of 18/3/8, participating in 26 kills and dying only three times. The most telling moment was his aggressive play on Lucian: by dodging ShowMaker's Syndra abilities at lightning speed, Peyz single-handedly eliminated the enemy carries and secured the victory for his team. Analysts highly praised his form, unanimously voting him Player of the Match—the same award he received last week in the series against Gen.G.
Aside from his milestone victory, Peyz set a new historical record. He became the first esports athlete to reach the 1,500-kill mark in the LCK and LCK Cup in under 300 games. It took him only 287 matches to achieve this, which is nearly a hundred games faster than Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyeong's result.
Adding particular weight to these achievements is the current unconventional bot lane meta, where traditional marksmen are often passed over in favor of mages. Although Peyz practiced playing Taliyah and Viktor at the start of the season and during the KeSPA Cup, he is now playing exclusively on classic hypercarries, demonstrating phenomenal efficiency despite the trends.
Despite his dominance in the domestic region, the status of the best player in the world remains a subject of debate. Peyz faces fierce competition from both top LCK players (Gumayusi and Ruler) and stars of the Chinese LPL (JackeyLove, GALA, Elk, and Viper). Since T1 failed to secure a victory at the recent MSI tournament, the ultimate verdict on world leadership will only be settled at the upcoming World Championship, where the contenders will clash in the battle for the main trophy.
