World Championship (2022) has ended for almost half a month, but the echoes of this tournament still linger. One of those echoes is the training stories of the players. Normally, during the tournament, this is a secret that cannot be revealed. However, after the season concludes, players are more relaxed in sharing memorable moments from the recent Worlds 2022.
Just a few days ago, Gumayusi went live to share that the entire JD Gaming (JDG) team refused to scrim with T1 because the LCK representatives were too dominant. Recently, it was Deft’s turn to go live. Since DRX is the reigning champion of Worlds 2022, the community is even more interested in the training process of Deft and his teammates. According to the veteran ADC of DRX, the team’s training was even more thrilling than that of T1 – JDG.
Specifically, Deft mentioned that he and Keria are very close, so they also shared their training experiences with each other. Keria revealed to Deft that T1 had not been able to scrim much before the finals, despite being able to arrange scrims with North American players. Additionally, T1’s Support declared that they would annihilate DRX, the older brother, with a score of 3-0. Deft agreed with this statement because, at that time, T1 was showing much stronger form than DRX.
In addition, Deft also shared that he noticed many teams starting to scrim. Therefore, Deft decided to set up a training room with his account and 9 computer bots. He then kept this training room running all day so that opponents would think DRX was practicing very diligently.
Along with sharing about DRX’s training at Worlds 2022, Deft also provided insights about the ranked play situation on the North American server. According to Deft, players there often make very puzzling champion selections. Not to mention, the latency of up to 50 is an uncomfortable experience, especially for professional ADCs – a position that requires quick reflexes like Deft.
Many viewers found it amusing that Deft had to use computer bots to create a fake scrim. This also shows that DRX has overcome many difficulties and rightfully claimed the crown at Worlds 2022.
