The interview of Kael before the MSI 2025 was posted by the Korean media, including the paragraph: “I think the high possibility is that the two LCK teams will reach the final, and one of them will win.” However, it is worth noting that Kael is on the payroll of Anyone's Legend, representative of the No. 1 seed of the LPL area at MSI 2025. The Chinese community is commenting that this statement of Kael is “not beaten has lost”, and this player is also receiving great criticism.
In addition to criticizing for the “fear of losing”, the Chinese also proved to be very angry because the LPL has always had the final match in the past 4 years and has the championship rate compared to LCK of 50/50. However, a player playing at LPL proved to be lacking confidence and thinking that the final of the MSI will be two LCK teams confronting each other.
Many people also compare Kael's response to Bin's controversial statement. According to the Chinese community, Bin was extremely straightforward when he wanted to go to the final and wanted to meet Al again to “pay” the defeat at the final of the LPL, and Kael showed no determination to defeat the LCK to win the championship.
Even some Chinese fans mocked Kael's speech that this support would want to return to Korea after 2 years of “studying abroad”. Currently, the player's contract is about to expire at the end of the year and with impressive achievements, Kael can completely return to Korea. The relationship between Kael and the Chinese community is on the brink of collapse and if the LPL cannot win the MSI, it is likely that this player will have to leave in 2025.
Kael was born in 2004, joined AL at the end of 2023 and took on the support role in the past 1 and a half years. Earlier, the player started his career in the Geng Academy in 2020, it took only half a year to go to the Challengers team, then switch to LiiV Sandbox at the end of 2021. Previously, Kael's career was nothing outstanding, but since the beginning of the 2025 season, Kael and his teammates have sublimate, ranked second in Ascend. Finally, this player and Al won the regional championship, always throughout China's No. 1 seed at MSI.
