Early this morning on October 31, the second semifinal between Gen.G and DRX took place, and DRX defeated the reigning world champion Gen.G to officially secure a spot in the final match, where T1 is waiting. With DRX and T1 competing for the crown, the 2022 World Championship inadvertently becomes the extended LCK championship. The teams from the LCK region are currently maintaining a strong performance and stable mentality. And whether it is T1 or DRX that wins, the championship trophy of the League of Legends World Championship 2022 will still belong to South Korea.
In the first semifinal, T1 defeated their opponent from the LPL, JDG, to advance to the final. Despite doubts about their form before this match, JDG was also a very strong opponent, especially from the mid to late game. JDG, although lacking in lane strength, always knows how to make their opponents “bite the dust” in every team fight.
But Faker and T1 have confirmed their class and shown themselves to be strong candidates for the championship. After losing the first game, the whole team rallied their spirits and successfully turned the game around to achieve a 3-1 victory, eliminating the only representative from the LPL at the 2022 World Championship.
In the second semifinal, the same old script for T1 was repeated, as Deft and his teammates pulled off a successful comeback to win 3-1 against Gen.G. This is also the first time in two years that DRX has enjoyed victory over Gen.G. From here, the boys will continue to write their “legend” story from the Regional Qualifiers, successfully becoming the most successful fourth seed in history, overcoming the Play-In Stage, dominating the Group Stage, and advancing straight to the 2022 World Championship Final.
Earlier, member Deft shared that he does not place too much emphasis on the goal of winning the 2022 World Championship, but with such a resounding victory, fans absolutely have the right to hope for a higher result. And Deft will continue to face Faker to claim the prestigious Summoner’s Cup that he still lacks.
The final match will take place on November 6. Will Faker claim his fourth championship cup, or will Deft touch the throne of the World Championship for the first time?
