[쿠키뉴스] Reporter Moon Dae-chan = “I really prepared a lot.”
T1’s top liner’Kanna’ Kim Chang-dong expressed his feelings about reporting a splendid return.
T1 won a 2-0 win against Genji eSports in the second round of the ‘2021 League of Legends (LoL) Champions Korea (hereinafter referred to as LCK)’ Spring Split, held online at 5 pm on the 13th. T1, which showed perfect performance against 2nd place Zenji, raised the atmosphere by winning 8th (7th, 5th).
Kim Chang-dong, who started in 42 days, said, “I really prepared a lot. I think it will be a good day because I can win with a good performance in the return match.”
Kim Chang-dong, who was the main player in T1 last year, was jinxed in his second year this season. In the early stages, due to extreme sluggishness, he gave the starting position to Wooje Choi of’Zeus’. In this process, there was a lot of trouble because of the fans who criticized and discussed external factors for the reason of the sluggishness.
Kim Chang-dong said, “The champion skill level was also inexperienced, and minions were often missed during the line battle stage. Whenever I missed a minion while practicing solo rank by myself, I condemned myself to’Why miss it’ and immersed myself in practice.” He said, “I think I ate more curse this time than I ate in 20 years. I worked hard to turn criticism into cheers,” he said. “I thought to start with the solo rank score first. Even if I couldn’t go to the game, I practiced from the champion I wasn’t good at. There was nothing frustrated that Zeus was going to start. I thought that if I practiced, there would be an opportunity someday.”
There was a burden because the opponent was Zenji, but Kim Chang-dong looked at this as an opportunity.
Kim Chang-dong said, “There was also a slight burden. His opponent, Rascal, isn’t very good either. But I thought it was an opportunity because if I did it well, I could change my perception.”
In fact, Kim Chang-dong played the first set’Gragas’ on this day, overpowering’Rascal’ Kim Gwang-hee, and was selected as the unanimous’Play of the Game (POG)’. Even in the 2nd set, he took out’Nar’, which had been devoted to practice, and performed well. In just one game, he changed his negative perception toward himself.
Kim Chang-dong said, “We have not absorbed all of the director’s role knowledge yet, and we think that we can become stronger.” If given the opportunity to participate, I would like to win the next game with 2-0.”
