Players who want to succeed in League of Legends have to be strong.
But how many times could you fail before you stopped believing that victory was possible?
Before your regrets piled up and buried your hopes of ever finding a way?
And, if you somehow kept going, could you turn your last chance into the greatest story that Worlds had ever seen?
This is the Story Of Deft.

@freelogen nah... C9 didn't go through qualifiers... they were already qualified since they were bot8 of the Kraków 2017 major. This was definitely a way better Cinderella story. The only important part about c9 run was that it's the only NA major. Nothing else. Other than that, there is nothing impressive about it.

Right? I was thinking that too, Beryl will prolly be still underrated after winning his 3rd worlds because there are other supports who look better in game than him. He has so many intangibles that he adds to the team that makes him vital but people like flashy plays more.Pyosik as well, the biggest coinflip in that team on his successful redemption arc would be a good story to cover

@griffins750 Год назад

Just a reminder of two things: 1. This 20min video makes it feel short, but this journey was more than a decade for Deft, and as good as this video is we can’t forget that. 2. Deft’s Draven was so lucky, at one point early on he had a ton of adoration, but he got caught botlane in a play that should have set him super far behind, but instead he got his ult off and killed Renata at like 50% hp before he died which meant he got a ridiculous amount of gold. He died and was up like 1,500 gold or something and then snowballed from there, if he hadn’t pulled off that play, things would not have looked good for Deft, but he did, against all odds he did…

@peytonsmith1062 Год назад

It ain't just Deft tho give Kingen and Zeka some credit. BeryL and Pyosik had their moments where they were inting in that series against T1. But Kingen and Zeka were consistent. There was a rumor after they won Worlds that they would love to run it back again but unfortunately DRX didn't expect their whole roster to actually win Worlds so their contracts are only limited and not for like 3-4 years so all their contracts are ending and have to look for another team. DRX also don't have the money to keep the players but there's honestly more to it. DRX isn't really a good org in the LCK if you dig deep more of their org's history. Their staff is actually toxic to their players and more. Pyosik was the last one standing in DRX until he got a good deal in TL in NA so he took it which is best for him because I don't ever want any of these 5 players to remain in DRX where the org is just toxic. Would love to see all 5 of them again tho.

I have been a fan since forever. I have been astonished by the rise of Faker and his three championships. I always believed in Deft. When they both faced each other in Worlds Final 2022 I was excited to see either of them win. I thought Faker would have a higher chance of victory. But I knew I would be even more shocked to see Deft pull off the miracle run. When Deft won I felt incredible excitement and joy for all he had fought through to get to that point, that victory, that magical winning moment. What an incredible story by DRX. Every team member of DRX had to step up and carry different games throughout the World Cup. It's wasn't just a Deft domination, but Zeka, Kingen, Pyosik, and Beryl all had magical games and moments to get them the team victory. It was a DRX team victory and it was really wonderful to see it all happen over the weeks and all the games.
