"Kneel!" Khan Provokes the World, and the Return of the Long Lost Trash Talk in the LCK

Today’s cartoon is about Kim “Khan” Dong-ha’s intimidating comment in the interview after the LCK finals and a long lost player attitude.

There’s a term called ‘trash talk’ in traditional sports. Often spoken right before or after a game, it is mostly used to provoke or intimidate opponents. It’s the same in esports; although it’s a lot more gentle than in traditional sports because the players can’t talk to each other during the game. Trash talk is heard mostly during ceremonies before and after a game, through comments on social media, or in stages set for that kind of talk.
