“It wasn’t a temporary call-up, but rather a meta-consideration of the team’s situation, and we decided that Bible could help the team and fit into the lineup.” (DK head coach Choi Cheon-ju)

This wasn’t a one-time call-up; it was a long overdue move that put the team’s reputation on the line. Kim “Deft” Hyuk-kyu, the eldest brother of DK, smiled broadly as he described Yoon “Bible” Seol as “talkative,” similar to Kim “Beryl” Jung-hee.

DK defeated Liv SanBak 2-0 in the second round of the 2023 LOL Champions Korea (LCK) Summer on Wednesday afternoon at Roll Park LCK Arena in Jongno, Seoul. ‘Deft’ Kim Hyuk-kyu and ‘Canyon’ Kim Gun-boo led the team to its third straight victory, playing in each of the first and second set deciding games. With the win, the team improved to 7-0 (4-0, +7) on the season and moved up to third place in the standings.

Despite being down 2v3 early in the first game, Kim “Deft” Hyuk-kyu, who was named POG for his quadruple kill on the Elder Dragon brawl, said, “I think we had too many mistakes in the first game.

“I didn’t expect to get the POG because I made too many mistakes in the first set, but I think I got it with a quadra kill later. I’m grateful,” he said, adding that it was his first POG in a long time.

Speaking about his new partner, Yoon “Bible” Seol, he said, “First of all, he’s very talkative, similar to (Cho) Gun-hee. Thank you for filling in the gaps,” he said, adding, “I envy you for being a soldier. There’s something mature about you. Even if you’ve been in the military, you’re still young,” expressing his envy for Yoon Seol, who has completed her military service. 메이저놀이터추천

When asked about the reasoning behind the pick with a high AP threshold in the first set, Kim Hyuk-kyu said, “It was before the static nerf, and the Kaiser champion itself has a lot of operational advantages by winding up the static. I thought it was okay to take 3AP into account.”

“We’ve shown a lot of lethargy against strong teams, so we’ll do our best to show results this time,” said Kim Hyuk-kyu.
