The players’ trust in their performance was not limited to words. Even after the official press conference, T1 coach Kim Jung-kyun did not stop complimenting them. At the event, he clenched his fist, saying, “The match against Hanwha Life Insurance will be different from the past.”
T1 won 3-1 against D-plus Kia (DK), the loser of the third round of the “2024 LOL Champions Korea (hereinafter referred to as LCK)” Summer Playoff held at LCK Arena in Jongno, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 1st, by taking down 2, 3 and 4 sets after losing the first set. “Jeus” Choi Woo-je, “Oner” Moon Hyun-joon and “Faker” Lee Sang-hyuk won the last ticket to the race as the upper body trio took a picture of DK’s upper body with force.
As a result, T1 will compete with Hanwha Life Insurance in the final round of the fourth round of the 2024 LCK Summer Playoff at Gyeongju Indoor Gymnasium on the 7th to advance to the finals with the best-of-five series. 파워볼실시간
“I really wanted to get a ticket to Gyeongju more than ever before. I lost in the first set, but the players and staff focused well on the match after giving me feedback. I’m so happy to win the victory and get a ticket to Gyeongju,” Kim said with a big smile.
Head coach Kim then said, “We lost the last Hanwha Life match 0-3, but when I look back, I don’t think there was such a big gap. I think if we supplement what we need to supplement, we will have a completely different performance.”
Coach Kim Jung-kyun did not forget to give words of blessing to Kumayushi Lee Min-hyung, who achieved his sixth 1,500-kill through one-deal. “Congratulations on your 1,500-killers. Now, however, I believe you have only 1,500-killers. I hope you will continue to perform well in the 3,000 and 6,000-killers as you have done.”
Coach Kim Jung-kyun’s joy of winning a ticket to Gyeongju briefly strengthened his will to show a performance contrary to the results of the second round of the PO with Hanwha Life Insurance by refining the points that need to be supplemented in operation and Banpick.
“Until we go to the races, we’ll have to look back and do some maintenance. I think we’ll really have to prepare without any regrets and show them all at the games on that day because if we lose now, it’s really over. This time, it’s my personal opinion, but I don’t think it’ll ever come out that way like the last game.”
Finally, coach Kim Jung-kyun said, “I really wanted to get a ticket to Gyeongju. I want to thank the athletes and the coaching staff for letting me get the ticket. I want to thank the front-rowers who silently support me from behind. I want to thank the fans who support me until the end despite the tough times.”
