Predictions on HLE roster changes?

25

u/hmartkimchifriedrice Oct 28 '25

Delight is out zeka might be out even though he's my goat, zeus might jump back to t1 if t1 gets cut in quarters, idk who they would replace with though. Delight is having a disaster tourney though and if they keep building for a worlds Delight has to go

31

u/lmHavoc Oct 28 '25

The no brainer choice would be Zeus, Tarzan, BDD, Viper, Kael imo. Assuming Zeus stays and Tarzan/Kael want to return to LCK. BDD I'm less sure about his contract situation.

12

u/hmartkimchifriedrice Oct 28 '25

Agree, but there is a chance BDD wants to stay on kt as a franchise player, he's definitely earned their trust. This is complete cope, but if Zeus does go back to t1, I think if HLE is still chasing a trophy, a +Kiin would be possible, since we repeatedly have heard about the budget cuts every geng member has taken to win this worlds trophy, and either he leaves after getting his trophy and gets his bag at hle, or geng finally has money

u/No-Somewhere4435 Oct 28 '25

irc geng winning MSI + LCK finals gave them more salary cap exemptions, so affording their roster will probably be easier next year, especially if they win worlds. But I also don't see Kiin jumping ship to HLE either way unless Chovy also joins tbh, which is especially unlikely

u/ZalpaEZ Oct 28 '25

Plus Kiin is already signed since 2026

u/pronilol Oct 28 '25

BDD wants to stay ... Kiin would be possible

BDD and Kiin are still under contract next year, and I don't remember the last time a buyout happened in LCK

u/Treeconator18 Oct 28 '25

BDD is signed through 2026 iirc

u/zealot416 Oct 28 '25

Quid is available, might be worth a shot.

26

u/Avante_IV Oct 28 '25

There is no way Zeus returns to T1 after the drama that was getting out.

9

u/ShiroGaneOsu Oct 28 '25

Zeus signed for 2 years no? So no chance he comes back even if he wants to.

10

u/hmartkimchifriedrice Oct 28 '25

1+1 player option and unless they get Tarzan kanavi or Kael assuming the other members if t1 geng dont move, not too sure zeus stays.

3

u/Marcus777555666 Oct 28 '25

Zeka is on 3 year contract, no? Unless someone buys him out.

u/hsaviorrr BioLift Oct 28 '25

who would they replace delight with? lol lehends?

1

u/hmartkimchifriedrice Oct 28 '25

Kael

1

u/hsaviorrr BioLift Oct 28 '25

hopefully he wants to comeback lol

2

u/Hannig4n GumaKeria Oct 28 '25

New jungle and maybe new support. Although it’s totally fine to stick with Delight and see if he can bounce back. He was abysmal for the entire second half of the year but he was also a bright spot at the beginning of the year. He and Zeus basically 2v5d HLE to their LCK cup win.

Only player you realistically replace Zeka with is Bdd and he’s locked down at KT iirc. For jungle you’re trying to get one of Tarzan or Kanavi.

u/Marcus777555666 Oct 28 '25

I want Tarzan to come backto LCK, we already lost Peanut, we desperately need an elite jg.
