The final match of the biggest League of Legends (LoL) tournament in the world – the 2022 World Championship – between T1 and DRX took place at 7 AM on November 6th. Contrary to predictions of a dominating performance from Faker and his teammates, the final was extremely thrilling. The two teams exchanged blows throughout the first four games, creating a dramatic score chase.
There were continuous stunning team fights, competitive objectives, and steals of Dragon and Baron from both teams. After five tense games, DRX remarkably defeated T1 following a decisive clash at the Elder Dragon pit, claiming their first championship in the biggest LoL tournament in the world. In this classic BO5 matchup, top laner Kingen was the standout performer.
The story of the “power of friendship,” which seemed only to exist in anime, was written by Deft and his teammates at the 2022 Worlds. They, starting as the fourth-ranked team in the LCK, successively overcame the Play-In stage and then faced many top opponents worldwide. Reaching the finals was something no one expected before the 2022 Worlds began. However, DRX made it happen; they created a “Miracle run” that shocked League of Legends fans everywhere.
The miraculous journey of DRX at the 2022 Worlds has ended beautifully. This player has also filled his trophy cabinet with various titles from domestic to international levels. However, this could also be Deft’s final season as a professional player.
