Facing a KT Rolster that is still regarded as a strong force in the LCK, Dplus KIA still had many opportunities to win. After all, they were in high spirits after defeating GAM Esports flawlessly. The only problem is that KT is on a completely different level compared to GAM. Moreover, in the recent LCK Summer season, DK had never beaten Bdd and his teammates. Unfortunately for DK, this time was no different.
The biggest weakness of DK, or more accurately the least performing player, is Deft. If right after the DK match, Noah had a Flash play to take down the entire Weibo Gaming team with the champion Aphelios, then Aphelios in the hands of Deft was “helpless” to an astonishing degree. In fact, in many team fight situations, Deft was almost invisible or he was “shut down” in the blink of an eye.
After the match, on social media platforms, Deft received the most criticism. Admittedly, he is still the reigning champion, but it’s clear that everyone can see Deft is no longer able to perform at his best. According to statistics from the readers of the Hupu site, Deft received the lowest score of the match with just 2.6 for his performance. Clearly, DK’s defeat had a significant share of responsibility from the former DRX star.
In fact, some comments may be harsh but are not always incorrect or unreasonable. More than anyone else, Deft understands that he is older and has achieved all the glory that a player can dream of, from LPL, LCK to MSI and Worlds. But if he had paused for a moment and decided to take a break, it might have truly been a perfect ending for the legend of the League of Legends scene.
