The Guangdong Freecs lost 0-2 to T1 in the second round of the League of Legends Champions Korea Summer 2023 at the Grand Seoul LCK Arena in Jongno-gu, Seoul on Sunday. Facing the return of T1’s Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyuk, Guangdong fought back with picks such as Geras, but the nexus was destroyed in 23 minutes in both the first and second sets. In a post-match interview, head coach Kim “Cmac” Dae-ho shared his thoughts on the game and his plans for the remaining matches.

In the first set, I didn’t feel like we were going to win except in the early to mid game. I think I have a good understanding of the reasons for this kind of performance, so I’m trying to solve it, but it’s hard and difficult because it doesn’t work.

There’s a lot of different things going on. We’re trying different things in scrimmages. We’re trying different bans, we’re trying different plays, we’re trying different completed bans. In those schemes, play-by-play, there are things about where we press at what time, where we meet, when to be aggressive, when to be defensive. But that kind of math often works well when you leave it to your subconscious and just do what you see and feel. It’s hard to know how to help them with that.

In terms of direction, we’re not able to resolve certain points together. There are certain things that we need to come together on in order to move to the next step, and it seems like we’ve been stuck for a year in the feedback on those things.

In fact, if you look at what we’re doing, including me, it seems like we’re all thinking a lot when we play, and then we don’t play well, and it’s a vicious circle, so I think we’ll continue to have similar results unless we get better ourselves, whether it’s ‘Faker’ Lee Sang-hyuk or ‘Phoebe’ Yoon Sung-won. I think we need to focus on how we can improve as a team.

I think I’ve said in every interview that I’m going to try to solve the same problems and do my best, but when I make changes, I don’t get what I want, and when I don’t, I don’t get what I want. I’m going to look at these things and think about what I need to do to improve my game 메이저사이트.

We keep coming to the tournament expecting a turnaround and saying, “Let’s do it,” but when we scrimmage, we’ve only won two games in the last week, out of about 40, so it’s hard to lose that many games and say it’s going to be different. We’re going to try to do this and that together and try to improve our performance.
