DRX head coach Cho "Joker" Jae-eup, who lost to T1 in a close match, cited the change in the meta as the reason for the loss.

DRX lost 1-2 to T1 in the LCK Cup group stage battle held at the Gran Seoul Chijijik LoL Park in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 18th. DRX had suffered two consecutive losses in the group stage and had to take solace in the fact that they broke their losing streak against T1.


n a post-match interview, Coach Cho Jae-eup expressed regret over the loss to T1, saying, "There are areas where we are improving

, but on the other hand, it seems like we need some time because we don't have much room to maneuver." Regarding their preparation for the match, Coach Cho said, "When we were preparing, we were conscious of the bottom lane. What both our opponents and we felt while playing the game was that there was a meta change in the top lane. T1 caught that well and played good champions in the top lane. That was the reason for the loss."

When asked about the use of the 'Coach Voice,' he praised them, saying, "In the first match, I had a lot to say, but today, the calls were good and the plays were good. Even though I turned it on, I didn't have much to say. I actually liked that aspect. I could feel the players putting in a lot of effort. It was a good game."
