S12

Regarding the final championship, I don’t know why most people hoped for SKT to win and for Faker to return to his peak. I particularly hoped for DRX to win because my mood while watching the match yesterday was the same as in 2017 S7, just like I mentioned in my first blog post:

“So I don’t think my 2017 was a failure. Perhaps there’s an Ambition living in my heart.”

Deft

He and Faker were both students at Mapo High School, both went professional in the same year, yet over ten years he moved through seven teams without ever winning a championship.

Deft also played for EDG before, and coincidentally Clearlove was on the commentary desk that day. I wonder what he was thinking, being both a fellow dreamer and former teammate.

Perhaps he had already come to terms with it - never winning a championship in one’s lifetime is actually the norm. At least having tried hard leaves no regrets.

During the post-match interview, Deft said something I think is worth recording:

“The only thing I’m good at is League of Legends. If I can’t succeed at what I’m best at, then I have no idea what meaning my life has.”
