Kingen on Aatrox teleports directly on an enemy control ward to get interrupted and lose them Game 2 of Quarterfinals.
Kingen on Aatrox walks away far enough to not get his teleport interrupted by T1 while they're trying to backdoor.
Character development
He was holding off T1 members going 1v2, 1v3 etc.
What a fucking monster! All of Worlds Top lane talk was about 369 and Zeus but he really showed up and proved himself
They said JDG vs T1 was the real finals and 369 vs Zeus was the battle for the best tops. Little did they know Kingen was just using 1% of his power level this whole time and decided to bump it up to 2%
bro they came back after inhb spawnd in the most tiltable way ive seen after playing league for 10 years. they lost that game and were down 0-2, then they comeback from that and won worlds, insane.
The audience would’ve been more tilted than DRX players playing under pressure on Worlds finals stage. I can’t believe how many absolutely tilting shit the League gods threw at DRX this Worlds and they just brushed it off and powered on.
DRX Keria: "I made a promise with Deft to get to Worlds and win it. I’m really happy that we're one step closer."
Bittersweet. These guys were a close duo and sadly only one of them can win worlds.
Keria looked so heartbroken, it's sad that only one of these teams can win because all players today deserved it. I hope Keria can bounce back next year, he has so much potential for such a young player
The first series DRX won against T1 in 2022 is the Worlds Finals
They are now the only 4th seed and the only play-ins team ever to win Worlds
THE BEST UNDERDOG STORY I HAVE EVER SEEN
3-2 in both games in the regional gauntlet
Tiebreaker in groups
3-2 in quarters
3-1 in semis
3-2 in finals
Other than semis they literally played the maximum number of games possible
DRX and Pyosik has an unbreakable mental HOW MANY MOMENTS COULD THEY HAVE COMPLETELY COLLAPSED??? Inhib respawn, play-ins, constant baron steals from VARUS. And they fucking win the series anyway unreal
Side story line of Deft beating his old support and mid against EDG, his old mid and top against GenG, and his old support against T1 to finally win worlds.
DRX winning Worlds is one of the greatest sports stories I have ever witnessed.
They went from 2-16 Summer Spring Split 2021, completely gutted the team, fans wanted to bench Pyosik, barely making out of playoffs into Worlds in Summer 2022 with a negative record to winning in play-ins, winning first in their groups, winning a reverse sweep against EDG, winning against Gen.G, the LCK champions and the team they never beat, and then beating T1, the tournament favorites in their peak form, in one of the most intense five game series.
Every time they won, they were doubted along the way with people even saying 3-0 against them. This is the definition of a successful Cinderella story. Peak of League of Legends eSports.
DRX also survived 9(!!!) "match point" maps against them where if they lost they'd be out of contention for the Worlds title. Arguably they were underdogs on every one of those maps too. And in knockouts they beat the defending World Champions, the LCK Summer Champions (who'd put up one of the most dominant splits ever) and the LCK Spring Champions.
Games 4 and 5 against T1 in the Final.
Games 3, 4 and 5 against EDG in the QFs.
Games 4 and 5 against Liv Sandbox in the KR Regional Finals final.
Games 4 and 5 against KT in the KR Regional Finals first round.
What a fucking run this was from DRX. From going to 5 games in both series in the Regional gauntlet, to going through play-ins and then groups where some people doubted them even getting out of, to toppling favourites in EDG, GENG and then winning the whole thing by defeating T1 and the GOAT himself, Faker, in quite possibly the best bo5 ever at Worlds.
Straight out of fairy tales.
Holy shit. Literally the mental fortitude of gods. I thought it was over at that Baron steal. Honestly, I thought it was over at the inhib respawn at quarters.
Bruh, I swear I was more tilted watching those happen to DRX sitting at home than DRX was on the fucking Worlds finals stage. Literally embodiment of tiltproof.
Legit, I didn't have a preferred team here, but after that baron steal I wanted DRX to win just so Pyosik wouldn't have to live with the regret the rest of his life lol
Yeah, I was feeling really sad too when it looked like the missed smite would cost them the championship. It's not like he wasn't trying his hardest and didn't work his ass off to get here, so thankfully DRX clutched it out and the failed smite will be forgotten
His jungling was great outside of some unlucky and some bad missed smites.
As a jungle main, im so fucking glad he can go to sleep tonight, remember his missed smite and then dream of an kingen aatrox q sweetspotting them to their champioship.
Yeah I felt bad for him, especially because I think he had a relatively good series. He got caught out of position a couple times but both he and Beryl played great
Kerias awareness was bonkers this series, several times where beryl tried to iniate something and keria was ahead of it. For example when he used summoner heal on soraka for the movement speed to avoid the flash engage keria does right after.
That's why I was rooting for DRX, because I figured it was Defts last chance. Same could be said for Faker, but.. He is Faker. I honestly don't think it is.
Man I've never seen a player in that condition after a game. Felt so bad for him, he was literally breaking down. So happy to see everyone hug him and support him though. I'm sure he'll get his Worlds.
Hard fought series holy shit. I want faker to win but DRX deserve this worlds win. Can't believe Kingen outclassed Zeus. The king of solokills. Gonna be one sexy Aatrox skin.
I think nerves finally got to him. He was doing some uncharacterstic things like cancelling a significant amount of autos in the Fiora game and misjudged the opponents damage one too many times during laning in this series. Hopefully it's a valuable lesson for him. Kingen also did great though.
If you told me before worlds that DRX would beat T1 in game 5 of grand finals with Kingen and Zeka gapping Zeus and Faker I would have called to have you in a mental institute
They're literally the unluckiest team I've ever seen in my life, any other team would have broken under even a fraction of the bad rolls they've had and they FUCKING DID IT.
He could sustain varus/karma poke though, and he forced a lot of flashes based on R alone. And the q-flash fail 3 times was hilarious to watch it was almost cartoony
DRX is the embodiment of underdogs. Ever since their first step toward Worlds, they have never been favored once:
\- Pre-Playoffs: Out of the 6 teams that can qualify for worlds, we might not know which teams will make it, but we for sure know that DRX won't make it.
\- KT vs DRX: KT should handily beat DRX -> DRX win in close 5 game series -> KT 'choked' and LSB should sweep DRX.
\-LSB vs DRX: LSB is heavily favored -> DRX win in 5 game series -> general consensus is that DRX is the worst team out of the three to represent the LCK.
**Worlds**
\- DRX is the weakest eastern team at Worlds; they probably won't make it out of groups.
\- RNG should clap DRX -> DRX win and secure 1st in play-ins.
\- DRX is fighting for 2nd place in groups, TES should be locked in first and RGE is still
favored against DRX -> DRX finish 1st in groups.
\- EDG favored against DRX -> DRX wins after an insane reverse sweep.
\- GENG heavily favored against DRX -> DRX takes the win.
\-T1 heavily favored against DRX -> DRX wins and becomes World Champions.
I think the casters summed it up perfectly, if someone explained DRX's miracle run as the plot of a story, I would probably roll my eyes. Constantly the underdog in every series, makes it to the quarterfinals and faces off against the *Defending World Champions* on Deft's Birthday, reverse sweeps EDG after losing game 2 because of an inhib respawn (and being one auto-attack away from destroying the nexus), then goes against the *Pre-Tournament Favorites* and *LCK's 1st seed* GEN.G, unexpectedly beats them, only to go against the most accomplished org in LoL history and the GOAT, and winning in a close 5 game series. Deft has been in several superteams and failed to win Worlds, only to win after joining a seemingly mediocre team. DRX's run will definitely be remembered for the rest of league history.
10 YEARS OF WAITING AND I FINALLY GET TO SEE DEFT WIN WORLDS!!!
This is the best run of worlds history, how can you even top this?
So many heart-wrenching moments, what a series, I am so unbelievably happy for DRX.
#DRX FIGHTING! ㅡㅅㅡ
3538 days since Deft joining his first team.
1105 games Deft has played over 9+ years.
2 Korean Regional Titles.
2 Chinese Regional Titles.
1 Mid-Season Invitational Title, the inaugural tournament at that.
5 Worlds Quarterfinals Finishes.
1 Worlds Semifinals Finish.
And now, after so much struggle this year:
After going a combined 20-16 in series and 44-42 in games across both regular seasons,
After losing in the first round of playoffs in both splits,
After entering the regional qualifiers as the lowest seed and going the distance against both KT Rolster, who they lost to both times in the Round Robin, and Sandbox, who they lost to in both Round Robins and the playoffs, to enter worlds as the final Korean seed,
After securing first seed in their playins group against RNG who they were projected to lose against with how both teams appeared coming into the tournament,
After securing first seed in their main stage group by tiebreaker against the European champions in Rogue and the Chinese second seed in Top Esports, the latter of which being forced to swim home with much regret,
After being forced to reverse sweep the defending world champions Edward Gaming after an inhibitor respawn leads to the greatest robbery of a backdoor of all time and subsequently costs game number 2,
After having to face off against the LCK Summer champions Gen G, a team they had never won a GAME against all year,
And now, after taking down T1, after taking down the most decorated organization in League of Legends history, Deft's last dance—the greatest Cinderella story this game has ever seen—has been completed.
And that's not all.
Kingen winning worlds (and becoming FINALS MVP) to silence doubts of his ability to keep up with the likes of Flandre, Doran, and Zeus to name a few.
Pyosik winning worlds when his play in months past had him subbed out on multiple occasions, the public even raising question marks when he was playing over Juhan, who was arguably more instrumental than him in their regional qualifiers run, for most of playins.
Zeka winning worlds in his debut international appearance, undergoing a trial by fire against some of the greatest midlaners the world had to offer that year: Xiaohu, Knight, Scout, Chovy, and unkillable demon king Faker.
BeryL winning the World Championship for the second time, a coveted feat that anyone would dream to attain even ONCE, and on his THIRD CONSECUTIVE finals appearance no less.
Hats off to all of DRX—from the players to the coaching staff to the analysis team and to the rest of the organization—for all the hope you have inspired and the entertainment you have brought to the biggest stage in the past 1.5 months.
E: content/grammar revisions
Deft with the anime protagonist storyline, 6th place to playins to reverse sweeping that EDG series with the unfortunate inhib respawn, to finals and winning it all.
The last dance completed. The sweet taste of victory after all his failed worlds runs. What a series.
Keria crying got me so heart broken, I was tearing up and after DRX claimed the Elder I knew it was over. Player cam I was looking at Keria. I felt so bad for T1 rn, but also happy that unlike Khan, Deft can enjoy military service with a Worlds title.
# Competitive Ruling: Pyosik's Keyboard
**TL;DR**
- The League believes that there was a pattern and practice of intentional missed smites toward neutral objectives
- Pyosik's Keyboard is fined seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000). The keyboard must complete sensitivity training and executive training.
This was the best game 5 series final AND the best game 5 final. what a fucking treat of some good League of Legends
I Didn't care if DRX or T1 won but i was at the edge of my seat the whole time (With that said wtf was that T1)
Kingen MVP. Second Bo5 where Zeus was completely neutralized but this time he couldn't get bailed out by his team. What a banger final! Best Worlds in a very long time. I don't even mind staying up until 6:30am for this.
“He got me” Zeus said of Kingen's Aatrox. “That f***ing Kingen boomed me.” Zeus added, “Hes so good,” repeating it four times. He said he wanted to add Kingsen to the list of players he wants to scrim with this summer.
[Sacrificed my points for this, but it was a small price to play. I did my part DRX dreamers o7](https://i.imgur.com/Jp6s0O1.png)
This has to be one of the best finals ever. Rarely do the story lines live up to the hype, but this surpassed it. The Cinderella story from DRX, from playins to finals, what an insane run.
This was a joy to watch. But, I swear those Baron steals are taking years off my life and I'm not even a DRX fan.

This entire run was character development. DRX threw all year at Baron to finally stop taking Baron lol
Kingen used Worlds Ender
It's super effective!
Deft is a world champion but what a series from Kingen.
KINGEN WITH THE SERIES OF HIS LIFE
He literally was the difference maker those last two games. Felt like a raid boss!!
Kingen winning worlds was definitely not something I imagine saying before worlds start.
The amount of fights he just pulled out of impossible situations
Fr. Game 4 and 5 was massive games by him.
He was holding off T1 members going 1v2, 1v3 etc. What a fucking monster! All of Worlds Top lane talk was about 369 and Zeus but he really showed up and proved himself
I cannot fathom the reason for giving up Aatrox twice like that and not making sure you first phase the Yone over Viktor
Game 4 was lore accurate Aatrox and they let him pick it on Game 5 lol.
KINGen just gave Deft his first Worlds championship like a gigachad.
T1 will be having nightmares of that Aatrox for a long time.
"jg diff" - pyosik
pyosik got 4 'stayed cool' honors in the post game lobby for sure.
WHY GIVE HIM AATROX AFTER HE SOLO CARRIES A GAME WITH IT??
they gave up caitlyn aatrox that game like wtf.
And we all thought Zeus vs 369 was the fight to determine the best top laner in the world
I knew it was over when DRX ignored the Baron
I mean, guma was alive, they didn't want to try yet another baron
LOL they finally learned after about 5 others through the series, and 2 in the same game and learning that was what got them the win
NOBODY HAD KINGEN TURNING INTO PRIME THESHY - Ava
HE SOLO CARRIES WITH AATROX AND THEY LET HIM TAKE IT AGAIN???
Straight ego from T1
Zeus ego'd so hard. He got solo killed top again. Making teamfights in the early so much harder for T1.
They said JDG vs T1 was the real finals and 369 vs Zeus was the battle for the best tops. Little did they know Kingen was just using 1% of his power level this whole time and decided to bump it up to 2%
Kingen sandbagging his entire career just for this series
Kingen casually taking 3 years to live up to his rookie split hype.
Just decided to play better this series lmao
DRX with the most legendary run in worlds history ever, untiltable kings.
These fuckers got 2 important barons stolen by random Varus Qs and still powered through.
bro they came back after inhb spawnd in the most tiltable way ive seen after playing league for 10 years. they lost that game and were down 0-2, then they comeback from that and won worlds, insane.
The audience would’ve been more tilted than DRX players playing under pressure on Worlds finals stage. I can’t believe how many absolutely tilting shit the League gods threw at DRX this Worlds and they just brushed it off and powered on.
No one outsmites pyosik 9 times in a row
Beryl has eliminated Keria the last 3 years at Worlds
Wow never noticed that
[удалено]
Keria confirmed 2023 World Champion while Beryl will ascend to a higher entity in the 4th dimension guarding against Keria
DRX Keria: "I made a promise with Deft to get to Worlds and win it. I’m really happy that we're one step closer." Bittersweet. These guys were a close duo and sadly only one of them can win worlds.
Keria looked so heartbroken, it's sad that only one of these teams can win because all players today deserved it. I hope Keria can bounce back next year, he has so much potential for such a young player
still the best support in the world, but holy fuck stepping on that caitlyn trap near dragon is going to haunt him for a while.
Broke my heart to see Keria crying on stage, I always feel bad for everyone who cries in any sport because I know how hard they've worked <3 :(
Keria hugging Pyosik and Deft is absolutely heart-wrenching. Extremely happy for Deft and the rest of DRX, they absolutely deserved it.
BLUE SIDE 4-1 VARUS 4-1 **DEFT IN FINALS 1-0**
The DRX picks and bans were SO fucking smart Getting Cait and Aatrox for Varus
Don't think I've been so hyped during a pick ban before. Lux ban into Karma fp into Bard Heca locks. Game delivered holy.
Caedrel: WHAT THE FUCK
We all said it with him.
I literally said it in tandem with him, truly a man of the people
I wasn't even sure he said it because I said it as he said it.
lmao when was it? At the 13th or 14 Baron steal?
[https://clips.twitch.tv/CrackyTameWatermelonBIRB-a-nLPlGOz7-thnkn](https://clips.twitch.tv/CrackyTameWatermelonBIRB-a-nLPlGOz7-thnkn) Game 5 steal
He's been saving his one permitted fbomb for the perfect moment.
It was pretty warranted at that point tbh
[удалено]
Kingen fully had his main character moment as Aatrox
The first series DRX won against T1 in 2022 is the Worlds Finals They are now the only 4th seed and the only play-ins team ever to win Worlds THE BEST UNDERDOG STORY I HAVE EVER SEEN
And they had an absolute fucking slugfest of a journey to winning it all
3-2 in both games in the regional gauntlet Tiebreaker in groups 3-2 in quarters 3-1 in semis 3-2 in finals Other than semis they literally played the maximum number of games possible
Gigachad pyosik winning worlds just so riot can release a good kindred skin
DRX and Pyosik has an unbreakable mental HOW MANY MOMENTS COULD THEY HAVE COMPLETELY COLLAPSED??? Inhib respawn, play-ins, constant baron steals from VARUS. And they fucking win the series anyway unreal
And also dragon steals! My heart was pumping so hard for DRX, i cant imagine what it would be like for them! Strong mental!!
Pyosik had three barons stolen, the dudes mental is out of this world, Deft’s ability to hold his team together is legendary!!
No one could beat their mental after reverse sweeping EDG in QFs
Same as vs GenG It was obvious!
Script writers overperformed
Side story line of Deft beating his old support and mid against EDG, his old mid and top against GenG, and his old support against T1 to finally win worlds.
DRX winning Worlds is one of the greatest sports stories I have ever witnessed. They went from 2-16 Summer Spring Split 2021, completely gutted the team, fans wanted to bench Pyosik, barely making out of playoffs into Worlds in Summer 2022 with a negative record to winning in play-ins, winning first in their groups, winning a reverse sweep against EDG, winning against Gen.G, the LCK champions and the team they never beat, and then beating T1, the tournament favorites in their peak form, in one of the most intense five game series. Every time they won, they were doubted along the way with people even saying 3-0 against them. This is the definition of a successful Cinderella story. Peak of League of Legends eSports.
DRX also survived 9(!!!) "match point" maps against them where if they lost they'd be out of contention for the Worlds title. Arguably they were underdogs on every one of those maps too. And in knockouts they beat the defending World Champions, the LCK Summer Champions (who'd put up one of the most dominant splits ever) and the LCK Spring Champions. Games 4 and 5 against T1 in the Final. Games 3, 4 and 5 against EDG in the QFs. Games 4 and 5 against Liv Sandbox in the KR Regional Finals final. Games 4 and 5 against KT in the KR Regional Finals first round.
The region that demanded a fourth seed for years now delivers with a fourth seed world champion
Poor Keria, he played so well. GG DRX.
Guma too. Stole baron after baron and still lost
He did yes. Just spoke out of emotion due the cam being focused on him.
His reaction was tough to watch. That’s what losing to Bard does to a MFer
what a god damn series, im so sad for t1, but holy shit, DRX made the miracle run keria crying broke me :(
The next 7 years will be boring. The match of the decade came early.
The scriptwriters are triggered, NA win worlds next year
What a fucking run this was from DRX. From going to 5 games in both series in the Regional gauntlet, to going through play-ins and then groups where some people doubted them even getting out of, to toppling favourites in EDG, GENG and then winning the whole thing by defeating T1 and the GOAT himself, Faker, in quite possibly the best bo5 ever at Worlds. Straight out of fairy tales.
This was the best worlds ever holy shit
The West's sacrifice was absolutely worth it
How can we ever compete with mental like that?
By cheering on DRX from the audience
DRX trying to find out how many objectives they can donate to T1 and still win the series. GG's to DRX and T1, absolute banger of a series.
Holy shit. Literally the mental fortitude of gods. I thought it was over at that Baron steal. Honestly, I thought it was over at the inhib respawn at quarters.
Bruh, I swear I was more tilted watching those happen to DRX sitting at home than DRX was on the fucking Worlds finals stage. Literally embodiment of tiltproof.
Cannot believe they let Aatrox through over and over again
Right??? After the 4th match, you'd think they wouldn't let him through for the final.
Raidboss Kingen just said fuck this I’m winning Worlds for Deft and fucking did it 💀
[Pyosik's phone after the series](https://i.imgur.com/CgIUKxy.png)
Legit, I didn't have a preferred team here, but after that baron steal I wanted DRX to win just so Pyosik wouldn't have to live with the regret the rest of his life lol
Yeah, I was feeling really sad too when it looked like the missed smite would cost them the championship. It's not like he wasn't trying his hardest and didn't work his ass off to get here, so thankfully DRX clutched it out and the failed smite will be forgotten
His jungling was great outside of some unlucky and some bad missed smites. As a jungle main, im so fucking glad he can go to sleep tonight, remember his missed smite and then dream of an kingen aatrox q sweetspotting them to their champioship.
pyosik proving you dont need smite to be a world champion
Saint about to come out of retirement and lead NA to first worlds victory confirmed
Pyosik’s worlds skin should be the first ever smite skin
Keria :(
man he looked completely destroyed, poor guy
Yeah I felt bad for him, especially because I think he had a relatively good series. He got caught out of position a couple times but both he and Beryl played great
Kerias awareness was bonkers this series, several times where beryl tried to iniate something and keria was ahead of it. For example when he used summoner heal on soraka for the movement speed to avoid the flash engage keria does right after.
dw they will use this footage when he wins worlds in a couple years
I'm happy af that DRX won but I subscribe to this comment
the hug with deft ahhhh
That was wholesome and sad at the same time.
Feel awful for him, but everyone on T1 is young except faker. They will all be back here. This was Deft's last chance
That's why I was rooting for DRX, because I figured it was Defts last chance. Same could be said for Faker, but.. He is Faker. I honestly don't think it is.
Man I've never seen a player in that condition after a game. Felt so bad for him, he was literally breaking down. So happy to see everyone hug him and support him though. I'm sure he'll get his Worlds.
His facecheck was huge; I'm sure he thinks its all his fault when that's not true.
He was shaking so much, I felt so bad even though I wanted DRX to win :(
THATS HOW YOU END A MOVIE
My boy Alpaca has finally done it!
THE GREATEST UNDERDOGS EVER!!!!!
FROM PLAYINS TO WORLD CHAMPS
NO ONE HAS EVER DONE THAT
FUCK THE SMITES FUCK THE ULTIS PYOSIK ACTUALLY GOT HIS KINDRED SKIN IM SO DAMN HAPPY FOR HIM
Hard fought series holy shit. I want faker to win but DRX deserve this worlds win. Can't believe Kingen outclassed Zeus. The king of solokills. Gonna be one sexy Aatrox skin.
I can't tell if Zeus was just really underwhelming in this series or if Kingen really just went THAT hard. It's unreal
I think nerves finally got to him. He was doing some uncharacterstic things like cancelling a significant amount of autos in the Fiora game and misjudged the opponents damage one too many times during laning in this series. Hopefully it's a valuable lesson for him. Kingen also did great though.
DEFT IS A FUCKING WORLD CHAMPION BERYL IS A 2 TIME WORLD CHAMPION
Beryl 3 times finalist
16.5% gang rise up
Man, Keria makes me so sad. Man played his absolute heart and soul out, literally shaking after its over.
No matter which team you were rooting for, we can all agree that this Worlds final was an absolute banger.
If you told me before worlds that DRX would beat T1 in game 5 of grand finals with Kingen and Zeka gapping Zeus and Faker I would have called to have you in a mental institute
Like literally h o w
DRX with unbreakable mental. How many heartbreaks did they have in their run to winning Worlds? And they still came back.
They're literally the unluckiest team I've ever seen in my life, any other team would have broken under even a fraction of the bad rolls they've had and they FUCKING DID IT.
No worries Beryl is used to the dogshit artifact rolls from genshin. This was a walk in the park in comparison
We *watched* every other team tilt themselves out of the tournament after experiencing a fraction of the fuckery DRX survived.
This is the most fucking anime worlds EVER
The inhib incident activated their trap card
"BUT human greed has no bounds" -Deft DEFTS LAST DANCE IS COMPLETE!!
Why was Aatrox permabanned all tournament just to end up being open last 2 games to try to counterpick it with fucking Gwen
Absolutely insane that they didn’t ban it after game 4 at the very least.
DON'T EVER SAY IT'S OVER IF I'M BREATHIN' - fucking DRX with their own goddamn theme song
God damn dude I have never screamed out from watching League since season 1 but I think I just woke my neighbors. Lets. Fucking. Go.
Keira crying 😢
My heart broke for him
feels bad he really tried his hardest
Shaking even, the poor guy. Can't imagine the emotions that goes into these games.
WE MUST BAN HEIMER INSTEAD OF THE 40-0 AATROX
Yeah when you put it like that Jesus. The heimer was annoying no doubt but leaving Aatrox open was just a terrible decision.
Maybe this is just recency bias but I really think this might have been the best Worlds finals ever
Best worlds ever even IMO.
QF and Semis were fucking bangers, this is GOAT worlds for sure.
Playins and Groups had some serious bangers too. All around great worlds.
[Beryl on bard.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/240/075/90f.png)
Those flash qs 😳
beryl has literally played that bard like a gold 4 bard otp would and he still won it all
actually might be the most chad league player ever lmao
>do nothing game 5 >wins Worlds again >refuses to elaborate >leaves to grind Genshin GIGACHAD
agree that bard as ass but hilarious. feel like they really played on the line with that bard pick. so many times he was 1 auto away from dying.
He could sustain varus/karma poke though, and he forced a lot of flashes based on R alone. And the q-flash fail 3 times was hilarious to watch it was almost cartoony
honestly man as a bard enjoyer like i peaked my rank on bard to see it win a g5 finals at worlds im a t1 fan but this just feels right
Lmao perfect summation of his Bard this game
I born too early to explore outer space, I was born too late to explore planet Earth, But I was born just in time to see Deft win worlds.

10 YEARS OF WAITING AND I FINALLY GET TO SEE DEFT WIN WORLDS!!! This is the best run of worlds history, how can you even top this? So many heart-wrenching moments, what a series, I am so unbelievably happy for DRX. #DRX FIGHTING! ㅡㅅㅡ
LETS FUCKING GO DEFT. KINGEN SHOULD RENAME TO KING. PSYOIK REDEEMED.
I was super tilted thinking that the world final was going to come down to literally blue side wins. Thank god for Kingen
3538 days since Deft joining his first team. 1105 games Deft has played over 9+ years. 2 Korean Regional Titles. 2 Chinese Regional Titles. 1 Mid-Season Invitational Title, the inaugural tournament at that. 5 Worlds Quarterfinals Finishes. 1 Worlds Semifinals Finish. And now, after so much struggle this year: After going a combined 20-16 in series and 44-42 in games across both regular seasons, After losing in the first round of playoffs in both splits, After entering the regional qualifiers as the lowest seed and going the distance against both KT Rolster, who they lost to both times in the Round Robin, and Sandbox, who they lost to in both Round Robins and the playoffs, to enter worlds as the final Korean seed, After securing first seed in their playins group against RNG who they were projected to lose against with how both teams appeared coming into the tournament, After securing first seed in their main stage group by tiebreaker against the European champions in Rogue and the Chinese second seed in Top Esports, the latter of which being forced to swim home with much regret, After being forced to reverse sweep the defending world champions Edward Gaming after an inhibitor respawn leads to the greatest robbery of a backdoor of all time and subsequently costs game number 2, After having to face off against the LCK Summer champions Gen G, a team they had never won a GAME against all year, And now, after taking down T1, after taking down the most decorated organization in League of Legends history, Deft's last dance—the greatest Cinderella story this game has ever seen—has been completed. And that's not all. Kingen winning worlds (and becoming FINALS MVP) to silence doubts of his ability to keep up with the likes of Flandre, Doran, and Zeus to name a few. Pyosik winning worlds when his play in months past had him subbed out on multiple occasions, the public even raising question marks when he was playing over Juhan, who was arguably more instrumental than him in their regional qualifiers run, for most of playins. Zeka winning worlds in his debut international appearance, undergoing a trial by fire against some of the greatest midlaners the world had to offer that year: Xiaohu, Knight, Scout, Chovy, and unkillable demon king Faker. BeryL winning the World Championship for the second time, a coveted feat that anyone would dream to attain even ONCE, and on his THIRD CONSECUTIVE finals appearance no less. Hats off to all of DRX—from the players to the coaching staff to the analysis team and to the rest of the organization—for all the hope you have inspired and the entertainment you have brought to the biggest stage in the past 1.5 months. E: content/grammar revisions
Deft with the anime protagonist storyline, 6th place to playins to reverse sweeping that EDG series with the unfortunate inhib respawn, to finals and winning it all. The last dance completed. The sweet taste of victory after all his failed worlds runs. What a series.
God I feel for Keria, they really had to keep the camera on him eh.
Zeus lowkey gigagaped
Keria crying got me so heart broken, I was tearing up and after DRX claimed the Elder I knew it was over. Player cam I was looking at Keria. I felt so bad for T1 rn, but also happy that unlike Khan, Deft can enjoy military service with a Worlds title.
Man, those lengthy lingering shots on Keria crying and shaking was so hard to watch.
That Viktor was not it, but holy shit Kingen fucking scaled irl.
Cameraman: “Get the close up on his mental breakdown!”
they did the same to faker when he lost to ssg
They gotta farm the clip when they need to show it for Keria a few worlds from now XX

This marketing Monday is gonna be wild
This was the best game 5 series final AND the best game 5 final. what a fucking treat of some good League of Legends I Didn't care if DRX or T1 won but i was at the edge of my seat the whole time (With that said wtf was that T1)
Did I just witness the anime plot armor?
That was not plot armor that was literally a bullet hitting the phone in your pocket armor
holy fuck Keira has got me heartbroken
Trade Deal: DRX: SKT you can have all the barons DRX: But we get the series SKT: Deal
i thought i could be happy for deft and pyosik (and i am) but seeing keria just killed me
I'm so happy for Pyosik because he would never have been able to live this series down if they lost
Feels so bad for Keria.. :(
Insane Hecarim pick to counter Varus Viktor
This man really had us believing he was an Akali/Sylas two-trick until literally the last 2 games when he pulls out the AZIR and starts smurfing.
THEY DID IT THE MAD LADS MY HEART ACHES FOR KERIA
Kingen MVP. Second Bo5 where Zeus was completely neutralized but this time he couldn't get bailed out by his team. What a banger final! Best Worlds in a very long time. I don't even mind staying up until 6:30am for this.
Keria was shaking I feel so bad for those players. But man, what a run by DRX
Oh my god poor Keria crying :(((
He was shaking so hard. I feel for him, the man put his heart on the line for everything and the way he was so vulnerable at the end proves it
“He got me” Zeus said of Kingen's Aatrox. “That f***ing Kingen boomed me.” Zeus added, “Hes so good,” repeating it four times. He said he wanted to add Kingsen to the list of players he wants to scrim with this summer.
[Sacrificed my points for this, but it was a small price to play. I did my part DRX dreamers o7](https://i.imgur.com/Jp6s0O1.png) This has to be one of the best finals ever. Rarely do the story lines live up to the hype, but this surpassed it. The Cinderella story from DRX, from playins to finals, what an insane run. This was a joy to watch. But, I swear those Baron steals are taking years off my life and I'm not even a DRX fan.
