    The difference maker for drx was their mentality. They never gave up, not against any opponent, even when they odds were stacked them. They didn't blame each other for fucking up, they just built each other up and made each other better. Awesome worlds this year! gz deft and drx!

      Fr bc lol I wanted to uninstall for the 1st time til next season this morning bc of another ranked game with trolls but this just reminded me again the game has a lot of mental and also you just gotta have a strong mental for everything in life. That being said watching pro LoL is still amazing, playing...

      All thanks to the coaches, those guys convinced the team to not care or worry too much about winning and focus on having fun. I think their mental had a big role in their wins vs EDG, GEN, and T1. All 3 of those crumbled under the pressure and weight that was "losing to a 4th seed LCK team from Playins". After DRX takes 1 game the enemy team's mental slowly crumbles.

    5:05 is not ajoke. It's real. Right after worlds i got into lobby to play ranke and suddenly. SUDDENLY. LIKE SUDDENLY. Everyones playing like as though their in game 5. nobody was toxic. everyone was giving good feedback. our mid kept typing flash timestamps. Deft made a physical imprint in the league community. I think he single handedly made everyone switch mentality and start taking the game mroe seriously and be active and less toxic. Seriously that was the best league game that i ever played yesterday and i cant wait for tomorrow.
    if anyone gets toxic im just say in the chat," remeber game 5 , remeber beryl, remeber kingen, remember zeke,remember all failed smite pysosik and remember deft ," chase and never give up".

    진짜 데프트가 대단하다.
    주변 선수들이 하나 둘 씩 성과를 이루고, 내려오고 은퇴를 반복하는 과정에서 꺾일 만 하기도 했을 텐데 포기하지 않고 다시 할수 있는게 진짜 대단하다
    매번 롤드컵 에서 탈락하고 한국에 돌아와 휴가 없이 솔랭 돌리 던 것도 , 본인이 떨어진 것도 힘들었을 텐데 팀 동료였던 선수들 축하 해주던 것도
    불과 한달 전 까지만 해도 데프트는 이제 끝이라고 생각했는데
    분명 못하는 원딜은 아니였지만
    삼성 이디지때 보여준 압도적인 포스는 점차 사라지고 있었고
    이젠 찰쳐줘야 3~4등정도 되는원딜 이라는 평가가 지배적이였다.
    10년동안 그런경우를 너무 많이 봐왔기에 데프트 역시 그렇게 잊혀 질 줄 알았다.
    근데 우승을 했네..
    삼성때부터 지금까지 데프트모습이 주마등처럼 스쳐지나간다
    분명 다른 선수들 한테 , 오랫동안 본 롤유저들 한테 큰 감동을 줬던 우승 이였다.
    진짜 대단하다.대단하다라는말밖에 못하겠다.

    Everyone praising Deft as if he didn't get hard carried by his team in this series. He didn't deserve to win.

      I mean u could also say PYOSIK played the series with his smite key unbound but they were the winning team, that's all that matters. they were better. deft is being interviewed because of his story and how long he's been trying to get to this point

      I do agree, Goma and Keria were playing better, but DRX was playing it smarter and sticking to their objectives. It was hard watching that Heca but he kept doing what was expected of him to get in and CC. Deft was never expected to win lane phase but that Kalista was horrible.
