However, streamer Thomas "Sykkuno" has talked about the possibility of returning to his previous team, who are the reigning champions.Team Buddha won the first OTK Rift championship, with Buddha playing top lane, Harry playing jungler, Blaustoise playing mid, Sykkuno playing support, and xQc playing carry.Buddha will be looking to defend his team's title. Based on what Sykkuno said to fellow content creator Lily "LilyPichu" Ki in a recent stream, he is even looking to bring the gang back together.When Lily tried to guilt-trip Sykkuno into joining her team, he said:"You see Lily. Here is what happened. Remember how I told you that I had won that exact tournament with a certain team. And I specifically said I'll join your team if my champion-winning team doesn't reform? Remember that?"Sykkuno tactfully declined LilyPichu's request by saying how strange it would be not to have the defending champions show up to the tournament:"Cus specifically like, it would be really weird if the winning team didn't show up to the tournament again, right? I mean that'd strange. You know, like? The defending champions didn't show up. That would be just kinda weird, you know? Like the defending champions."Fans react to the tournament announcementFans reacting to Sykkuno and LilyPichu's interaction (Image via Sykkey Daily/YouTube)Fans and esports personalities have reacted to the OTK Rift announcement with much positivity.
