Language Barrier “Helps” LazyFeel and DRX “Create Content”
With a foreign player like LazyFeel, when discussing the challenges he faces while competing at DRX, most viewers probably think of how the language barrier affects communication. LazyFeel himself is trying to learn the language, but sometimes he finds himself in “awkward” situations. A prime example occurred recently when he faced a bug during a match but couldn’t explain it, leaving his teammates equally “stumped.”
Specifically, the incident happened at the start of a recent match for DRX when LazyFeel wanted to recall but got stuck instead. He immediately reacted by… continuously shouting into his mic, leaving his teammates confused. Due to his limited Korean, it wasn’t until LazyFeel gestured for UcaL to look at his screen that he finally got some assistance.
The event amused many VCS fans, and even this situation was compiled by LCK in a clip featuring the week’s highlights. It can be said that since becoming the first foreign player in LCK, LazyFeel has garnered much more attention. He has truly taken a “step into stardom” and is now a new “content source” for both DRX and LCK.
However, it also highlights LazyFeel’s issues
Although LazyFeel’s incident may be quite humorous, it also indicates that the AD Carry of DRX has not yet fully developed his communication skills. Luckily for the superstar from VCS, this incident occurred before the match began. If it had happened during the game, the impact could have been more severe. If LazyFeel had not reacted in time, his team could have lost the match. If he had automatically “paused the game,” he would have been penalized because only the referee has the right to pause the match.
Perhaps, in the future, alongside honing his skills, LazyFeel also needs to prepare for unexpected situations. After all, UcaL won’t always be able to look at his screen to provide support for his junior, and at that point, both LazyFeel and DRX could face difficulties.
