DN Superers suffered a tough 0-2 loss against the current league leaders kt Rolster, marking their fifth consecutive defeat.
Today, DN Superers made a strategic change by bringing ‘Quantum’ into the support role against kt Rolster. Despite this adjustment, they were unable to overcome the undefeated KT, resulting in a crushing defeat in both matches. Following the games, Coach Ju Young-dal expressed his disappointment, saying, “While kt Rolster is at the top of the standings, it’s disheartening to lose in such a one-sided manner when we could have performed better.”
Son ‘Quantum’ Jeong-hwan, who played as support in the match, expressed his frustration, stating, “I came into this game with the expectation of winning, so it’s tough to accept the loss.” Coach Ju Young-dal elaborated on the decision to include Quantum, explaining, “It was time for a change in the lineup. Although we had some strong moments, I felt that we needed a shift in terms of our practice environment and other factors. The team’s dynamic improved after Quantum joined, so it’s unfortunate that we couldn’t secure the victory.”
Quantum remarked, “I have previous experience playing in the LCK. Unlike my past matches in the league, I didn’t feel nervous today and was confident in my abilities. However, it seemed like we lacked cohesion as a team and struggled in certain areas, ultimately leading to our defeat.”
Coach Ju emphasized, “The team is still facing recurring issues. We continue to get caught out by the opponent’s jungle pathing. Despite providing feedback, we are still making mistakes in areas that should be straightforward. While there were aspects of today’s performance that were disappointing, I saw some promise during our practice sessions with Quantum. Barring any major changes, Quantum is likely to remain in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future.”
He also had a message for his players: “I urge the players not to lose hope. Through our collaboration with Quantum, we are witnessing improvements in areas that have been challenging recently. I encourage them to hold on to this sense of optimism.”
In conclusion, Coach Ju stated, “I aimed to demonstrate progress, and I apologize for the underwhelming performance. We are committed to showcasing a different side of our team next week. Your continued support and encouragement for the players are greatly appreciated.” Quantum closed the interview by saying, “Despite the disappointing loss, I refuse to lose hope and will continue to dedicate myself to rigorous practice. Your unwavering support means a lot to us.”
