World Championship 2022 has officially concluded with the first championship title for DRX. Deft and his teammates delivered an emotional, dramatic, and thrilling match for the audience. Entering the final with a relaxed mindset and nothing to lose, DRX confidently took down the mighty T1 team, which was highly regarded by many.
After the match, the MVP title belonged to Kingen from DRX. With Aatrox in hand, Kingen shone in the final two games, helping DRX successfully overturn the score against T1 after trailing 1-2. It must be said that DRX’s championship was greatly aided by this top lane player.
Specifically, in team fights, Kingen with Aatrox in hand was truly a nightmare for T1. Perhaps the biggest regret for Bengi was underestimating Kingen, continuing to allow this player to have Aatrox in the final game. Kingen completely outplayed Zeus. Whether in the bottom lane or top lane, he convincingly won his matchups. The MVP title for Kingen is entirely deserved.
Kingen’s real name is Hwang Seong-hoon, and he is only 22 years old this year. Previously, Kingen played for APK Prince, KT Rolster (South Korea), and Bilibili Gaming (China) before joining DRX in 2020. Throughout his 5-year professional career, he has never been highly regarded. It was not until he joined DRX that Kingen became an indispensable part of the blue dragon team.
At the World Championship 2022, Kingen was also a player who did not receive as much attention as legends like Faker, Chovy, Doran, or even his teammate Deft. However, after his outstanding performance in the recent final and the MVP title, Kingen’s name has been remembered and recognized by the audience. Additionally, the World Championship 2022 title with DRX is also the first prestigious title he has won.
Kingen himself always maintains a spirit of learning and does not become complacent. With his youth, he still has many opportunities to shine ahead. Undoubtedly, with his passion and outstanding competitive spirit, Kingen will achieve even more success in the future.
