Acting head coach Lim “Tom” Jae-hyun of T1, who lost to Dplus Kia, revealed that communication was not possible in the middle of the game.
T1 lost 1-2 to Dplus Kia in the third week of the LCK held at the LCK Arena at Gran Seoul LoL Park in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 17th. T1, which lost, suffered its 3rd loss (2 wins) of the season.
Acting coach Lim Jae-hyeon analyzed the cause of the loss, saying, “While watching the game, I thought the players’ concentration was good in the first and second sets. The third set was also very advantageous. However, there were a lot of accidents afterward and there was a situation where we had to come together quickly and get one shot, and that didn’t work out well.”
Regarding the 3rd set ban pick, he said, “I thought I could split Annie and Jarvan IV sufficiently. In the case of Pike, Ryu Min-seok ‘Keria’ Min-seok handles it well, and mid and top seem to be sensitive, so I chose ‘Keria’ because he appealed a lot.”
Acting Director Lim also added, “In the case of Mel, I chose him because I thought he plays a similar role to Ziggs in clearing the line and matches well with Pike.”
Acting head coach Lim Jae-hyun, who is about to play against Kiwoom DRX, said, “I thought we were not communicating well as a team in the middle of the game. We will make up for those areas and come back with a good performance. I am sorry for losing today’s game. We will practice well one day and correct our shortcomings so that we can win the next game.”
