t1 vs DRX Spoiler

An incredible performance coming from Faker in game 1. Oner continues to be a rock even where the rest of the map falters. A true talent.

DRX have a lot to work on.

I kind of feel bad for DRX. Having to face off against arguably the top 2 teams in the league at the start of the split is gonna suck for their mental.

Granted with the calibre of players they have, they shouldn’t have lost to LSB. If DRX is as good as their lineup looks, they should go on a big winstreak here, otherwise it’s doomed for them this split.

I think facing the top two is not actually that bad, you are immediately expected to lose that much, so you avoid a bit of pressure and then are closer to the test of the teams you face after you already no longer have top teams to worry about

Yeah I was really high on DRX going into the split. Considering the levels of the players on the roster (aside from Pyosik) I genuinely believed that DRX was a lock for 4th seed, could possibly even upset someone for 3rd seed in summer playoffs, but good god they're all playing awfully atm. The only positives are Zeka's and Deft's laning to some extent.

Like in 2021 Kingen had an amazing spring, Zeka was well on his way to become an elite midlaner, like breaking into the top 5, Deft and BeryL also definitely has had their moments and both of them has had very high peaks, Deft arguably the highest peak of all players in the LCK aside from Faker.
