Lucky daeny has not released the post
There was a pretty bad point of Damwon in 2022, which was the return of the former coach, although in theory, Daeny was the one who understood this team most, but in fact, when he appeared, Damwon lost more.
Daeny returned to Damwon to bring the picks to the ground, the repertoire that no one could understand, when the team was winning, replace Nuguri and let Lord Burdol come in, or select the top line with Heimerdinger to support in game 5 decided with T1. The presence of Daeny also makes not only fans, but also Damwon's coaching staff is always placed in an alarming condition, when there is always a risk of trucks hit by a truck.
So when Damwon was LCK's No. 3 seed, falling into a group with the reigning champion of LPL Jingdong Gaming, many people have predicted the script that DK will still pass the group stage, but will struggle and lose to Jingdong comprehensive.
Damwon did the opposite of all, when the LCK seed performed the best, moreover the Hung Thu match against Jindong was evaluated the best match in the first leg, they lost but was warmly praised. All of this is in addition to the excellence of the player, and in Daeny, he simply does not need to do a special thing.
There is no achievement pressure
With the LPL bringing the most powerful squad in history, including the defending champion MSI 2022 and the reigning champion of Worlds, not to mention the two teams are only Seed 3 and Seed 4; Resonance in confrontation achievements and events in the summer LCK, teams from Korea are automatically underestimated.
Except for the top esportsts that are cosplay goat sacrifices to win the championship, most of the remaining representatives are playing very well, RNG and Jindong wins, there is nothing to discuss. EDG is a bit “broken” a bit when lost 0-2 before T1, but in general, except for the top eSports, the remaining representatives are in accordance with the expectations of the fans.
Meanwhile, the LCK side except Gen.G, no one appreciates the remaining 3 teams, T1 still has problems with Gumayusi, Damwon as we all know that the whole year of 2022 played very confusing, the DRX overcame the group stage is also a great success.
The huge pressure in terms of achievement is putting heavily on the shoulders of Gen.G, especially after the loss of the weakness and the pick is confusing before RNG, the LCK champion is true that he is afraid of losing to unsightly. Before the opponents below the range as completely as 100 thieves and the flying oysters, Gen.G all played turtles and pulled the game for a long time, winning also extremely struggling.
One cannot recognize a gene. In contrast, 5 people who are timid and afraid of losing terrible, with an outdated type of sleep are criticized for many years, it is clear that the pressure has made the Gen.G no longer themselves, fortunately their board is not too heavy.
The two teams that are playing the most sublime are the two teams that no one puts any hope, not Chovy or Faker, but the new Zeka itself is the best mid lane of LCK, when Mr. Carry his team from the play-in round to the present.
Similarly, not Peanut or Oner, but it was Canyon who was the most noticeable jungle player, the performance of Lee Sin without a scratch in the match against EG, or an extremely breakthrough Maokai against Jingdong, all of which showed that Peanut has successfully treated his back to continue his teammates.
Damwon's position was very different from 2021 and the first half of 2022, when they had to protect the world championship and the throne at LCK, as a result, we all knew it was the whole failure. Expected Damwon was great and when this team collapsed, the names like Showmaker were dragged into the first god of God, to let Beryl with Beryl, to bring back the couple Deokdam and Kellin were also things that made fans unhappy.
Before Worlds started, the charts all called Gen.G, JDG, TES, Damwon were not even in the top 4 but drilled about the championship candidate. The team is underestimated, meaning that the players are similar. From being the first -class star, Showmaker is now not mentioned in the position of the top mid -lanes, he is completely overshadowed by names like ChoVy, Yagao or Knight.
But Showmaker has done it all amazing, when the beginning had a destruction of G2 Esports with his Azir 8-0. The excellence of Showmaker is like Drx's Zeka, that they have found a beat at the beginning, there is no pressure on achievements and communication, thereby maximizing the internal strength. Zeka and Showmaker are in the top 3 best mid lane players in the tournament, when defeating on average more than 5 networks per game.
Canyon and Nuguri are similar, in contrast to the downturning performance at the end of the season, as well as constantly being replaced halfway. Damwon's 2 superstars are shining as much as their usual role, that is, Canyon plays the role of MakePlay jungle, and Nuguri is a realistic Carry at the top line.
Nuguri is fighting more and more well, clearly compared to the beginning of the season without the right tactics, often brought out compared to Zeus or Kin, now Nuguri is much more free. Even in the defeat of Jingdong when the crocodile of Niu Bao had a tragic KDA 0-4 and almost useless, very few people targeted Nuguri and mainly praised Damwon collective for having a great match.
The above factors seemed simple, but DK fans had to wait for 1 year, to witness Showmaker regained their form, Deokdam – Kellin shining, or the wing trio on 2020. With the current form, DK is definitely the leading candidate for the ticket to play the quarterfinals.
