T1 vs Dplus Kia: What Went Wrong in Their LCK Showdown?

Daniel Kim Views  

Translation result1Im Jae-hyun, T1’s interim head coach known as “Tom,” said the team lost communication midgame after falling to Dplus KIA.

T1 dropped a 1–2 decision to Dplus KIA on the afternoon of the 17th in Week 3 of the LCK at LoL Park’s LCK Arena in Gran Seoul, Jongno-gu. The loss marked T1’s third defeat of the season (two wins).

Im said he felt the players were focused in Games 1 and 2, and that T1 held a decisive edge in Game 3. “But things went wrong after that,” he said. “We needed to regroup quickly to win a team fight, and we failed to do so.”

On the Game 3 draft, he explained that he believed Annie and Jarvan IV could be allocated appropriately. “As for Pyke, ‘Keria’ Ryu Min-seok handles him well,” Im said. “Mid and top looked vulnerable, so Keria pushed strongly for the pick and we followed through.”

Im added that they chose Mel because his waveclear functions similarly to Ziggs and complements Pyke well.

Looking ahead to their match against Kiwoom DRX, Im acknowledged that team communication broke down in the middle of the game. “We’ll address those issues and come back in better form. I’m sorry for today’s loss. We’ll put in a hard day of practice, fix our weaknesses, and aim to win the next match.”
