DK’s victory over T1 is greatly attributed to this man
It can be said that DK’s Reverse Sweep against T1 may become one of the most outstanding “come-from-behind” plays of the 2026 season. The reason lies in the fact that T1 has now been reversed on two occasions in history after leading by two games, and secondly, the team that suffered the Reverse Sweep is T1, while their opponent is DK – a “point farm” they have been too familiar with in recent seasons. However, alongside names like Lucid and Smash, coach CvMax also deserves the highest praise.
One of the most notable moments of coach CvMax in the DK – T1 match surely has to be the “both scolding and comforting” Career after the victory in the third game. Known for being a strong-willed coach who is not afraid to “scold” his students directly, this situation of coach CvMax immediately attracted attention along with some controversies. Even Western and Korean League of Legends audiences criticized this coach.
But DK’s result against T1 shattered all opinions, and what was revealed later confirmed that coach CvMax was merely helping his student calm down after a very tough game. In a different context, DK might not have been able to rally their spirits and pull off such a miraculous Reverse Sweep against T1.
Coach CvMax’s experience could help DK go far
In recent seasons, DK has not had a truly impressive coaching staff. Coach CvMax returned in the middle of last season, but at that time, the main authority still lay with Bengi. Therefore, in the new season, DK fans surely expect that the experience and ability to work with young players that coach CvMax has long been known for will be maximized, thus helping this team regain some of its former glory.
