A seismic shift occurred on the match day of June 15 (Vietnam time) during the LCK Summer 2023. Accordingly, the team considered much weaker, OK BRION (OKBRO), unexpectedly won against Dplus KIA – a significantly stronger team. On a day when Deft didn’t play, DK had to promote Rahel from the youth team. This player still fought hard, but OKBRO was the ones who excellently secured the victory.
Although DK suffered a huge loss with Marksman Deft sidelined due to illness, it cannot be denied that the OKBRO players had a stellar day. In the final match, every position of theirs handled it “without a scratch.” Even the player considered one of the weakest links in the team – UmTi could be chosen as the MVP of the match thanks to his outstanding performance.
Witnessing the performance of the OKBRO players, it is the fans of T1 who are truly the most worried right now. For teams not considered strong like OKBRO, the pressure to win is non-existent. Moreover, with the excitement after their glorious victory against a strong opponent like DK, OKBRO’s potential to pull off an upset against T1 is very much realistic. Morgan has always proven to be a stable Top Laner and he has previously troubled Zeus when the two teams faced off.
After OKBRO’s victory, a T1 fan candidly shared: “I’m really happy to see the brave OKBRO players fighting hard and winning convincingly. But after cheering for them, I feel uneasy knowing my T1 will face them in the next match of the two teams.”
However, T1 fans probably don’t need to worry too much. DK lost largely due to their own negligence in not pressuring OKBRO as strongly as they had done many times before. T1 is currently showing a solid performance, and if they hit their stride, the T1 players will not give OKBRO any chance to create another upset.
