In last year's global finals, DRX finally won S 12 with the least optimistic result. They were the fourth seed of LCK in South Korea. They beat KT 3-2 and LSB 3-2 in the qualifying round and got tickets to the global finals.
S 12 defeated RNG in the final and advanced to the final round with 5-0. In the group stage, TES, the second seed of LPL Division in the same group, was eliminated and advanced to the quarter-finals. In the quarterfinals, it was eliminated by two chases and three chases, Geng was eliminated by 3- 1 in the semifinals, and T 1 was defeated by 3-2 in the final to become the champion of S 12.
The experience of DRX winning the championship all the way is a legendary dark horse that cannot be copied. Few people like them except their own fans, but they have accomplished surprises again and again. DRX is not a team that relies on signing contracts. From the final to the group stage and then to the knockout stage, the opponents you meet are all strong enemies. Therefore, this DRX champion is amazing.
S 13 The only remaining No.4 seed team is WBG of LPL, and they are also the least favored team in the top four. The opponents in the semi-finals are obviously not only very popular in LPL, because Bing's playing style makes them very popular all over the world and has a high degree of attention.
The other half of the area, T 1 not much to say. Faker's name alone is enough to attract all eyes. The other is this year's champion craze, and the official champion JDG in the past 10 months.
The most famous WBG is Theshy, followed by the assistant LQS who won the championship and the tiger who won the MSI championship three times. Wei Wei is a newcomer, and her previous performance was average and she was not taken seriously.
I have participated in the world series, but I have never left a deep impression on everyone. The difficulty and surprise of this team winning the championship may not be as good as last year's DRX. There is an opportunity, but it is by no means simple. Compared with last year's dark horse, WBG has amazing luck.
