DK Unexpectedly “Pessimistic” About T1
Thus, after the Play-in stage concluded, the first matchups of the LCK 2025 playoffs have been determined, and one of the most notable is the T1 – DK matchup. This is another storied rivalry in the LCK, and since the beginning of 2022, T1 has completely dominated. However, T1 cannot afford to be complacent. The fact is, even DK is not overly confident in their chances to defeat T1.
Accordingly, after the somewhat apprehensive reactions of DK players upon discovering T1’s choice, recently, Coach CvMax also admitted that DK has limited chances of winning. Chovy’s former coach stated: “To be honest, with the level of competition demonstrated today, we cannot defeat T1. But although time is short, we still have time to prepare. Of course, T1 has performed well against Gen.G even when they lost. But we also know that if we don’t win, it will be very difficult.”
In Reality, Fans Also Doubt T1
While they could still win against DK, what T1 fans are concerned about is what face this team will show. After all, DK may not win, but making things difficult for T1 is entirely within the capabilities of ShowMaker and his teammates. Last year, DK almost sent T1 home to watch Worlds on screen when they defeated this team in the first match of the regional qualifiers.
Moreover, in some recent matches, T1 has shown signs of complacency from the draft phase to the start of the game, or made some basic mistakes leading to lost games. If KT can achieve surprising results, then DK also has a solid basis, and perhaps, T1 fans are just as worried about their team as the opponents on the other side of the battlefield.
