Despite umTi's historically mixed performances in both the LCK and LCS (now LTA), Peanut expressed unwavering confidence in his fellow jungler's abilities. "I'm not actually surprised that he's doing so well because I always thought that he had huge potential," Peanut stated, emphasizing his long-standing faith in umTi's capabilities.

Regarding Fearless Draft, Peanut acknowledged the increased complexity it brings to professional play: "From a professional player's perspective, it does add a lot of difficulties when it comes to prepping." However, he recognized its positive impact on viewer experience, noting that fans are particularly enjoying the new format.

Despite the system's popularity, MSI and Worlds 2025 are not currently scheduled to feature Fearless Draft. The success of First Stand could prove instrumental in expanding its implementation across major international events, especially given the overwhelming positive feedback from the League of Legends community.
