T1’s acting coach Lim ‘Tom’ Jae-hyun, who finished the second week of the LCK with 2 wins and 2 losses by winning the game against DN Supers, said that his team’s performance continues to improve.
T1 won 2-0 against DN Supers in the second week of the LCK held at the LCK Arena at Grand Seoul LoL Park in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 10th. T1 recorded 2 wins and 2 losses (0) on the season. DN suffered its second loss (-2) of the season.
Acting coach Lim Jae-hyun said in a post-game interview, “I think we played relatively cleanly in the first set. In the second set, we had losses early on, so the mid and jungle were not good. The game could have been difficult, but the bottom players did a good job and I think we won cleanly 2-0.”
Regarding the situation in the first set, he said, “We paid attention to Orianna and Nocturne and made picks to take the lead in the early stages,” and added, “I think we won cleanly thanks to the good work of ‘Faker’ Lee Sang-hyeok and ‘owner’ Hyun-jun Moon in that regard.”
When asked about why DN banned Renekton in the second set, Acting Coach Lim Jae-hyeon said, “Dudu” Lee Dong-ju was good at dealing with Ambesa, and there were times when he openly said he would play Ambesa,” he explained. “I thought Pantheon would be able to deal with them and gain a little advantage in terms of exchange ratio.”
Regarding the match against Deflus Kia and Kiwoom DRX in the third week, Acting Manager Lim said, “I think our performance itself is continuing to improve,” and added, “If we provide feedback and make up for our shortcomings, I want to win in the third week and show our fans a good performance.”
