To say that DRX is the most underestimated LCK team before the 2022 World Championship finals would not be an exaggeration. Besides being the fourth seed, DRX also does not have many standout players in terms of skills or achievements. The most famous player, Deft, has faced numerous failures on the international stage.
However, after the semifinals of the 2022 World Championship concluded, DRX is the team that left the most profound impression. Starting from the Play-In Stage, DRX achieved extremely impressive victories to reach the finals. In fact, in the recent semifinals, DRX even eliminated a very strong opponent, Gen.G, leaving the audience astonished.
With such a miraculous journey, DRX has received a lot of praise from both fans and experts. They are even viewed as the greatest dark horse in the history of the World Championships as the first fourth seed to reach the finals. With the success they have achieved, the DRX players appear to be extremely relaxed, facing no pressure before the upcoming finals.
“To be honest, getting to the finals is already a huge success for us (DRX). The whole team is in a great spirit, no one feels pressured, and everyone is focusing on putting in their best performance in the finals. Even if we lose, we are still the second strongest team in the world,” shared player BeryL.
Theoretically, the chance of winning the world championship is currently equal for both T1 and DRX. In terms of past achievements, T1 is rated higher as Faker has won the world championship three times. However, DRX is also a formidable opponent thanks to their relaxed mindset.
If DRX can maintain high performance across all positions, defeating T1 is entirely possible. Should this occur, DRX’s championship would be nothing short of a modern-day fairytale. Hopefully, the DRX players will perform well and conclude their miraculous journey at the 2022 World Championship in the best way possible.
