Not sure if people remember but a recent comment I saw reminded me of this.

The history here is:

• Damwon was by far the best team in Korea stomping everyone.

• Damwon had just utterly stomped DRX 3-0 in LCK finals.

• DRX was the 2nd best team in Korea but pretty far behind Damwon.

I remember when the match was drawn, everyone was depressed because one of the four quarterfinals was just a foregone conclusion.

Even the DRX players looked defeated in that moment. During the game too as they were losing, they just looked dead inside.

Everyone knew exactly how this would play out. We saw these teams play just a month before or something and it was a stomp.

It hurts extra bad because DRX had so many loveable players: Deft, Keria, Chovy and it was awful seeing them in that position.

And when the match was actually played, it was just a gigastomp again. 3-0 in the Korean civil war.

And just like that we never really got to see what DRX was capable of. They just played some BO1s and then drew their most unwinnable matchup in quarters.

Such a depressing memory lol.

In another world, we would see DRX vs Suning or perhaps vs GenG and then into an LPL team or G2.

The whole draw kind of sucked because we had LCK and LPL on each sides of the bracket… Suning played only LPL teams until the finals.
