Not young talent nor superstar
Not counting the next golden generation of LCK such as Gumayusi, Zeus or Prince, including only the 5 current members of Drx, Zeka is the person with the worst starting point, because he has never been considered a young talent worthy in the middle. Zeka's starting point was in KT Roslter's youth training, but he moved to LPL to join Vici Gaming early.
Zeka joined Vici could be considered a first bass in his career, when Kkoma was still a coach, Vici Gaming's squad also had quite famous names like Leyan or Iboy, but their achievements were still at the bottom of the rankings.
Zeka's next landing is Bilibili Gaming, Zeka's performance in Bilibili is not actually bad, because at least he can enter the LPL playoff and stop at 8th place. Right from this time we have seen Zeka use the Sylas terrible, when he reached 80% win rate when he was held this champion, it was true that it was very unmatched.
Even so, that could not make Zeka a prominent mid lane at LPL, he returned to Korea to join DRX when this team had just ended the 2020 Worlds. In this collective, Zeka was not evaluated, his value was only proven in the spring of 2022, and at World Worlds 2022 was the boom.
The ice star at the World Final
In the spring, DEFT has 1000 MVP points, more than Faker and equal to Chovy, only lost to Canyon Super Infinity version with 1600 points. In the summer, Zeka has made a lot of progress, as the best player with 900 MVP points. The DRX struggled to overcome the two rivals KT & LSB to go to Worlds, so the expectation of the team in general and Zeka individuals in particular is not much.
Of course, for Drx, playing in the world final was a miraculous thing, like the way DEFT responded to the game after the victory over Gen.G, he did not put heavy achievements, as long as he went as far as possible. Zeka is the farthest and fastest person, if Zeus is said to progress by ten, Zeka must be twenty or thirty. From being an almost anonymous mid lane before the tournament took place, this player made all the most popular and famous names kneeling at his feet.
Right from the play-in round, Drx proved the formidable strength when not losing a match, defeating the reigning champion MSI RNG in a completely overwhelming match. But what makes people pay attention to is Zeka, only the mid lane of Drx is no opponent, with a level of burden that even ChoVy can only do that.
It is not that the Drx has no mistake, there is no time to be led money that seems to be unable to get involved, but if Zeka is still alive, all hope is still intact. Right from the Play-in, the silhouette of the best mid lane has begun to rekindle, but it takes a while longer to form completely, letting the world know the name Zeka.
The best defeat of LPL is Knight in the group stage, followed by the best mid lane in the world in the semi -finals, including the current champion of Scout champion, which is also played by Zeka as a toy. In just a short time, Zeka defeated almost all the best players in the previous generation and with him, but even in two tournaments, not one.
The way Zeka destroys these names is really convincing, is to win completely with skill, not a heterogeneous or trick. Nobody and no one can win Zeka when they match, even ChoVy is also defeated in what he is most proud of is the Farm soldiers.
If it is possible to use a word to describe the opponents when confronting Zeka, then it is probably overwhelmed, they are like the audience watching, can not expect why Zeka can own such a terrible skill, can progress so speedy in a short time.
The person who had suffered the most terrible Zeka torture, none other than Scout, when the EDG team had a horrific competition, from the lead in the opponent 2-0 and almost Zeka in 2 continuous games, the opponent immediately flipped the rafters quickly in the next 3 games, more disaster when the head of the train was the middle line.
Regardless of the scout after the match, about how he judged Zeka that day, he could not change the reality, it was the defending world champion, just like a poor child in the hands of the giant. It was told to prohibit Zeka's Sylas, but EDG released it in the decisive match, because he believed in Scout could hold Akali winning.
All that the mid lane of EDG can do, is continuously killed by solo rivals, in a way that cannot be suppressed, watching Sylas and died in the pillar, showing an unimaginable and inhibited inhibitor, when you face an inseparable monster.
In the final final when everything in the world supported T1, all statistics were directed at Faker for the last trophy, the Drx once again gathered the strength of friendship. Zeka and his teammates have sacrificed each other, in order to combine the white -eyed dragon, but Faker and Zeus were unable to withdraw the last piece of the power of the power, through which they lost, lost against Drx in the best final in history.
Like the previous prey, Zeka once again won in the mid lane, regardless of whether or not to choose Sylas or not or the opponent, the young man of the Blue Dragon still shows himself the best person. Faker's 10 years of experience also suffered, when faced with a player who is at the highest peak of his career.
If something is incomplete, it is Zeka who has not received the MVP title with his terrible performances. However, the fullness still came to Drx and Zeka individual, they made unimaginable and victory when the whole world thought they would lose. Zeka officially became the best mid lane in the world, surpassed Chovy, surpassed Faker and all his opponents defeated in this world final.
