Daeny said at the post match press conference in regards to a Korean reporter’s question about scrim partners.
Q. I have a question for Daeny. I’m curious how you prepared for the finals. It was last minute and there weren’t many people to scrim against. Have you had a chance to scrim against any LCK or LPL teams in preparation for the finals?
Daeny : (Having the availability of scrim partners) I actually believe that could be of some advantage to the teams of the host nation, LCK for this year.
When I was with DWG for the Worlds 2020 in China, I couldn’t book any scrims for a week after having made to the finals. We perhaps played like three scrim games?
Even at this year’s Worlds, there are only a few teams that maintains the roster without being affected by the off-season: KDF, and teams that are having tryouts, such as LSB and Nongshim.
It’s disappointing that our team didn’t have a chance to scrim against KDF because I believe T1 scrimmed against KDF for a week straight before the finals.
My point is that the level of performance is significantly better from a team that maintains its roster than teams that are having tryouts because the players on tryout teams are trying to prove that they are worthy of a spot in first-team.
Lets go! 2024 is the year of the BullDog
