Gwangdong Metheus, Who Found ‘Fire’, Defeated KT Rolster and Achieved its First Win
An ‘upset' that shook up the early structure of the 2024 LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea) spring season occurred on the 24th.
Gwangdong Freecs, who were considered underdogs after recording two losses in week 1, won with a set score of 2 to 1 against KT Rolster, who were on a two-game winning streak.
The key word for the victory on this day was the mercenary skills of coach Kim Dae-ho.
The choice to call up Song “Bull” Seon-gyu, a second-team ADC who was active in the LCK Challengers, worked out well. 카지노사이트위키
Song Seon-gyu showed off his presence by being selected as POG (Player of the Game), which means MVP of the game, twice.
Guangdong got off to a bad start. In the first set, KT supporter ‘Beryl’ Geon-hee Cho took out Ornn with a joker pick.
Due to Ornn's passive ability to strengthen items in the second half, Guangdong was forced to take the lead from the beginning.
However, KT took the lead in the game thanks to KT jungler Hong ‘Pyo-sik’ Chang-hyeon playing an active role.
At 21 minutes of game time, the gap was already 5,000 gold.
Afterwards, the gold gap narrowed due to Guangdong's counterattack, but in the end, as the game time lengthened to 40 minutes, KT, armed with Ornn's masterpiece item, gained the upper hand and took the first set.
At the beginning of the second set, KT got off to a good start with a successful mid gank.
However, Guangdong Matheus also struck a balance by taking care of empty larvae.
Afterwards, a tense situation ensued as they exchanged kills with each other.
Guangdong jungler Woo-chan “Kuz” Moon, who broke into KT’s camp around the 15th minute of game time, caught Geon-hee Geon-hee along with Gwan-bin “Andil” Moon.
However, after being surrounded by other KT players, both Moon Woo-chan and Moon Gwan-bin were hunted.
Song Seon-gyu was also chased and was in danger of death.
However, Song Seon-gyu, who chose Jin, overcame the crisis by catching the opponent's top laner, Lee ‘Perfect' Seung-min, who had chased him to the tower.
In the dragon fight that took place around the 18th minute, Gwangdong took the lead by winning after a toss from mid laner Lee ‘Bulldog' Tae-young.
Gwangdong continued its momentum and won the second set by winning each important teamfight thanks to Song Seon-gyu's appropriate ultimate use.
In the third set, Guangdong took the lead from the beginning.
During the level 1 invasion, we caught KT long-distance dealer Kim ‘Deft’ Hyeok-gyu.
Afterwards, in the bottom battle that took place around 4 minutes and 40 seconds of game time, Song Seon-gyu's Kalista played an active role and captured Kim Hyuk-gyu once again, breaking the bottom structure.
Based on his growth, Song Seon-gyu showed off his performance by catching two opponents in a 2-on-3 composition at the bottom around the 10th minute of the game.
Afterwards, KT kept the spark of the chase alive by catching up on the kill score with a goal, but Guangdong won a landslide victory in a team fight that took place in the mid lane in the 26th minute of the game and took the Baron of Nasher, solidifying their victory.
Gwangdong achieved its first win of the 2024 spring season by destroying KT's Nexus in about 34 minutes of game time.
With this, Guangdong broke its 12-game losing streak dating back to last summer.
Guangdong received great expectations this season as T1's 2023 League of Legends World Championship (Worlds Cup) scrim partner, but started off worse than expected.
However, they called up rookie Song “Bull” Seon-gyu and showed off their improved performance.
Fans are paying attention to what changes ‘Gwangdong Metheus’, which discovered ‘fire’, will bring to the LCK in the future.
