Deft left HLE during the winter transfer period at the end of last year and returned to its old boss DRX in 2020. Since then, the public opinion of "Last Dance" has always existed, but Deft has never made it publicly and clearly stated that this year is the last year of his career, but it is up to his competitive state to decide whether to continue next year. Before the S12 Bubble in the LCK Division in early September, Deft responded to the question in his personal interview, when asked "Last" When Dance "meaning to himself, he replied:
"I think I will deny it now, and I can continue to play. Even if I really can't play anymore, I want to show the handsome look that fans are expecting. I have never said before that I have solved some problems with military service, and until now I have always thought that I might participate in next year's competition. But even though that's it, if I can't show a competitive level in the bubble game, I can't play anymore, so I say Bubble match to some extent is a test of myself, and I will definitely perform well! ”
Now Deft and DRX have delivered an answer that is enough to satisfy themselves and their fans: DRX not only defeated KT and LSB in the Bubble match and got the quota for the No. 4 seed in LCK, but also passed the S12 World Championship and became the first No. 4 seed team in S competition to advance to the finals from the finals! At the same time, this is also the first time Deft has advanced to the S final in his career. Regardless of the final result, DRX's score in S12 is at least the runner-up, and this is naturally inseparable from Deft's efforts. As for Deft's current hot state, fans don't have to worry that this year is his "last dance". Of course, whether it will continue next year depends on his personal wishes.
It is also worth mentioning that Faker and Deft both graduated from Mapo High School in South Korea. After the two became famous as professional e-sports players, Mapo High School naturally attracted much attention from all walks of life and was called the "Sacred Land of Korea's LOL". November 6 will be the first time that the "Mapo two heroes" will face in the S game final. Is it Faker unlocking the unprecedented achievement of "Four Champions of the S game", or is it the final chapter of Deft leading DRX to write the "super dark horse"? Let's wait and see!
