As of February 4, the Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end, the LPL and LCK offseasons are coming to an end, and the restart of the two LOL top leagues is imminent, bringing a wonderful BO3 showdown to the audience. As the so-called "high energy at the beginning", a total of four LCK teams appeared on February 9, they are Faker-led T1, HLE, former GEN tough player Rascal's KT, and DRX, which suffered a heavy blow.
Turning over the history of the DRX team, they once wore an LCK jersey and reached the Msi final, leaving a strong mark. After that, DRX fell into a long trough period, the presence of world-class events in LOL was almost zero, in order to get out of the predicament, DRX in the LOL winter transfer period to strengthen, signed alpaca Deft, genius assistant BeryL and many other big-name players, want to find their former style in the 2022LCK spring game.
Participating in this LCK Spring Tournament, DRX started with three consecutive defeats, fell at the feet of LSB, GEN, T1, in the case of sluggish results, DRX will regain its strength, consecutively defeating KDF (former AF), dark horse BRO, NS, and winning a wave of three consecutive wins. Just at 7 p.m. on February 9, DRX faced KT, the latter record is also 3 wins and 3 losses, originally thought that DRX can continue the hot momentum in the game after the year, did not think that the club not only fired head coach Kim Jing-so, but also a number of main players diagnosed with "new crown" and could not participate.
Before the game, the DRX Club officially announced that five players were absent from the match with KT, they were the starting single Kingen, the starting game of Pyosik, the starting single Zeka, the starting assistant BeryL, and the substitute AD player Taeyoon, all five players suffered from the "new crown", while the DRX team only had six players, in other words, the main ADC alpaca Deft was the only DRX team player who did not suffer from the "new crown".
With a wave of three consecutive wins to end the previous calendar, DRX could have gone further, but due to force majeure factors, had to temporarily adjust the lineup, fans naturally felt worried, for which DRX official Bo came forward to apologize: let DRX fans worry, the club is deeply sorry, please rest assured, DRX will go all out to return to the field with a healthy appearance, thank you fans for their continued support.
It is understood that the South Korean LCK League currently has no plans to adjust the schedule, DRX will select suitable players from the second team, urgently join the first team, and fight side by side with Alpaca Deft. This means that DRX needs more time to run into the lineup, want to beat the "brother" Rascal, Cuzz's powerhouse KT, the pressure to the veteran Deft, and the 4 second-team young players to fight hand in hand, Deft can take over the game is the key.
As mentioned before, S12 is most likely the last season of Deft's career, in the interview, he clearly expressed his yearning for the Asian Games LOL project, hoping to represent South Korea, but DRX suffered a heavy blow in the spring, the possibility of good results is very small, Deft's wish to be selected for the national team is difficult to come true, send blessings to the ill-fated veteran, looking forward to him leading DRX out of the quagmire.
