KT Rolster suffered a heartbreaking defeat against Guangdong Freaks in Game 1 of the 13th day of the '2023 LoL Champions Korea (LCK) Spring Split at Jonggak Roll Park on Wednesday. They showed a lethargic performance against the last-place team and suffered a 0:2 defeat.
"It was unexpected," said head coach Kang Dong-hoon in the press room after the game. "It was terrible," he said, adding, "We didn't do what we had prepared for in terms of the game content and the bans. I'm very disappointed," he said, summarizing the game.
When asked what went wrong with the banpick process, he said, "In the second set, there were a couple picks that came out of nowhere. We need to make sure that doesn't happen again. We had a similar issue in game three against T1, and it happened again. We're talking about it internally, and I think we need to talk about it again."
Kang Dong-hoon shared his thoughts on the much-criticized banpick issue. He said, "Banpicking is different for each player depending on their champion width and preferred composition, and it's based on the matches that work well in the current practice process. We discuss and decide together. When you win, it's great, but when you lose, it can look really bad. We didn't play well today, and we need to improve," he said.
"It's a process where you can try different things. Of course, you can just keep doing the same picks. But in the long run, trying and showing different things gives your opponent a lot more to think about. It also increases our champion pool. I think we can be a team that can stay ahead of the curve when the meta changes or when there are variables."
Finally, Kang concluded, "It's a loss we didn't expect. However, I think the most important thing is to quickly overcome the unexpected problems that occurred during the banfic and the in-game performance problems. There is no point in going to the playoffs with these problems. 카지노사이트 The practice process is going well, so we need to think about it a lot."
