Night falls, the boring LOL offseason is about to usher in the final chapter, starting from February 9, the topical LCK, LPL events have been restarted, and the unbeaten gold EDG, LNG, LCK overlord T1 is shouting. Perhaps even the LCK audience did not expect that before the two major LOL top leagues rekindled the war, the LCK teams DRX and NS, which did not have outstanding results, would become the focus of everyone's attention.
Referring to the predecessors of DRX, KZ, LZ, LCK viewers will not feel strange, looking back at the S8 season, KZ once met with RNG in the final, although it failed to beat the popular puppy Uzi, the former still left a deep impression on everyone. After that, KZ changed its name to DRX and fell into a long period of lows. In the S12 season, DRX, who wants to rise, signed the DK champion to assist BeryL, and recalled veteran Deft with the maximum salary, Deft and BeryL did not live up to the trust of the DRX management, under their leadership, DRX won a wave of three consecutive wins and rushed to the top of the LCK standings.
According to the LCK schedule, drx's first opponent after the year is KT, before the game DRX announced that 5 players of the first team were diagnosed with "new crown", all entered the isolation stage, and the alpaca Deft became the only "survivor" of the team. Since the LCK League does not adjust the schedule, DRX can only temporarily draw young players from the second team, and this DRX is facing a severe test.
Following drx, another LCK team also came out of the bad news, it is the signing of the former T1 single Cana, the former DK champion AD player Ghost, the former GEN single Bdd, the small auxiliary Efort NS. In the game of the previous year, NS successively lost to T1, DRX, swallowed two consecutive defeats, the club urgently needed a big victory to find confidence, the so-called "house leak is in the overnight rain", before the confrontation with LCK dark horse BRO, the main double core Of Ghost and Bdd are in trouble.
Appearing on the social platform, NS official Blog wrote: Ghost, the main AD player of our team, has been diagnosed with "new crown" and has begun to self-isolate and strive for treatment and recovery! In addition to Ghost, all NS team members, training team members have also been tested, the main single Bdd showed "positive", currently waiting for the final result, NS will continue to "epidemic prevention", testing players and staff every day, very sorry, brought everyone bad news, hope fans understand, and the information related to the game, NS will be informed in time, thank you for your support.
Looking back at the S10 series, Ghost and BeryL contracted DWG (later renamed DK) to go down the road and follow the team to the LPL home to lift the Summoners Cup. In the S12 season, the DK champion duo went to the east, BeryL went to DRX, Ghost joined the NS, and both were diagnosed with "new crown" before the LCK restart, Ghost, as the former DK champion ADC, was forced to leave, on the other side Bdd was also not ideal, the probability of missing the first game after the year, the specific situation is subject to the club's official announcement, consistent with DRX, the NS starting lineup ushered in a big change.
With the deepening of the schedule, the LCK teams have a deeper understanding of the version, and the overall combat effectiveness is gradually improved, in this case, the main players cannot play, which naturally greatly reduces the competitiveness of the team, and drx and NS encounter the same problems. Sending my blessings to LCK, I hope they can learn the LPL's "epidemic prevention measures" and tide over the difficulties as soon as possible, without affecting the playoffs, Msi mid-season invitationals, and the LoL program of the Asian Games.
