Share of the player who won the World Championship in a way that no one expected
Perhaps in the history of League of Legends, a World Championship can be said to be the most surprising to mention the achievement of the 2022 DRX. Coming to the highest -level international tournament in League of Legends in the regional qualifying path, even almost eliminated, but the “green dragon” has defeated many strong opponents before entering the final. At that time, the opponent T1 was a mighty collective that had just had an unbeaten chain and a LCK runner -up in the summer of 2022. But, when no one expected it, the Drx suddenly knocked down T1 and won the championship.
Many people think that Worlds 2022 will be the last lipstick to close Deft's ups and downs
Many viewers really thought it was Deft's “Last Dance” but until now, he is still with KT Rolster preparing a series of regional qualifying matches again to find tickets to Worlds 2024. Even Deft also shared that many people surprised: “It seems that I will have to fulfill my obligations next year. I”.
But now Deft prepares to qualify for the region with KT and he shared his willingness to play if he has the opportunity after performing the obligation.
Really cruel for former Worlds
Deft's aspirations are completely legitimate and he himself emphasized that “skills to meet the requirements” and “have contact team” but in fact this falls into the “impossible” range. Talk about the skill or a team recruitment team, first Deft must get used to the environment and training rhythm of professional teams. Moreover, after 2 years, League of Legends will have a lot of changes if not different from the present. Even Deft will take time to get used to the new mechanisms of the game when leaving the game for too long.
“Is there a player who has ever returned from an obligation or something like that and played at a high level or asymptotic? Not saying that it was impossible, but after a long break, I guess there would be an age problem and you will not be able to adapt to the game as before.”
“It is not easy to be recruited after performing the obligation but if Deft does not give up, he can still play professionally.”
In addition, at that time, Deft was over 30 and recruited such an older player, at the present time, there is still no precedent in the professional League of Legends village. The elderly is still playing alone in 4 Major areas with only Impact and Guiger. But both of these players are only contributing in terms of experience. Guger alone can only join a weak team, Nongshim Redforce.
Deft's desire is somewhat impossible
But both Impact and Guger have no career interruptions for too long as duty. And that is the biggest difference if Deft really wants to continue his career after returning. In LCK in particular and League of Legends as well as eSports in general, almost no such precedent and really it is a desire that is probably just a dream of Deft.
