Zeus showed unhappy even though he had just lowered T1 and Gen.G
Last weekend could be considered a very happy time for HLE fans in general and Zeus fans in particular. The reason from the team has repeatedly defeated T1 and Gen.G in the LCK Cup 2025 playoffs and set foot in the finals of the Branch. HLE's opponent in the upcoming important match will be a dk that has also been extremely high in recent times.
HLE has had consecutive victories against T1 and Gen.G
Despite winning strong opponents like T1 or Gen.G, for Zeus himself, he was not happy at all. Sharing with the press after the match, Zeus admitted that the last match brought quite a lot of disadvantages for the HLE collective. The reason comes from the fact that they have to play for 2 consecutive matches and to reveal many “cabinets” and the opponent can research and exploit.
Zeus was unhappy at all when the home team had to show too many “cabinets” to overcome T1 and Gen.G.
“For the audience and fans, the last victories are really great when we have devoted ourselves to 2 BO5 matches. However, because Fearless Draft formula, we are forced to bring unique choices or” cabinets “tactics in all 5 games. This is reality that brings quite a lot of disadvantages for us when the opponent can research and find the way we have beaten. Gen.G also shows that HLE is a strong collective and is willing to conquer the championship “ – Zeus shared.
The journey to the finals of HLE's winning branch is much more difficult than DK
Zeus and his teammates need their best to overcome DK
Indeed, if comparing HLE and DK, Zeus's journey and teammates are much more difficult. DK in the playoffs stage has only played exactly 1 match Bo5 and also won quite gently against NS. Meanwhile, HLE had to play from the starting round and then 2 hard victories with the score of 3-2 against T1 and Gen.G. Therefore, Zeus's worries are grounded when HLE must play more than DK and also reveal more “cabinets” for competitors to exploit.
HLE needs to quickly prepare more tactics if you do not want to be “caught” by the DK side
Moreover, DK's coaching staff with Bengi, Poohmandu … combined with Beryl are all very knowledgeable tactics. Surely they will carefully study HLE's gameplay after the past matches and find a counter. On the HLE side, they need to quickly adapt to this and find new squads and options to confront DK. If not, they will most likely be “captured” by the opponent completely and receive unfortunate defeat in the upcoming victory over.
