– Damwon Kia was definitely the winner of the 10 team coaches and players.

On the 6th, League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) 2021 Spring Media Day was held online. When asked about the candidates for the Spring Split championship for the managers and players of the 10 LCK teams, Damwon’s manager Kim Jeong-gyun and’Showmaker’ Heo Soo, as well as all managers and players, answered that they were Damwon.

Manager Kim Jeong-gyun of Damwon, the champion of 2020 LCK Summer Championship and World Championship, KeSPA Cup 2020 Ulsan, showed confidence by pointing to himself as “Damwon is a strong winner.” Heo-su also picked Damwon as the candidate for the championship with the words “think like the director”.

Following Damwon, the teams that won many votes were T1 and Zenji eSports. African Prix’s’Bang’ Bae Joon-sik, kt Rollster’s Kang Dong-hun, and Freddit Breon’s best-beom coach picked Damwon as the top candidate, but T1 and Genji were also strong candidates. Jenji’s’Ruler’ Park Jae-hyuk revealed, “I think our team is good, and I think it’s a winning candidate”, revealing confidence and trust in the team.

When asked to predict the Spring Split team rankings, many teams responded humble. Excluding Zenji, who expected to advance to the finals and win, Africa Prix, T1, Liv Sandbox and Nongshim Red Force are targeting the playoffs. DRX’s acting coach Sang-soo Kim and Chang-Hyun Hong of’Mark’ gave an honest answer as being 5th, 6th and 7th place respectively.

There were also teams that predicted the last minute spurt. African Prix’s manager Han Eol said, “I’m going to be greedy up to third place by the end of the spring.” Hanwha Life Insurance e-Sports coach Son Dae-young said, “If you advance to the playoffs, you will be able to prepare a lot of things in a multidisciplinary system.

Freddit Breon responded that he would not dwell on the rankings. Director Choi Woo-beom said, “I’m aiming for the post season rather than thinking about the rankings,” and’Umti’ Eom Seong-hyun replied, “If you raise the form rather than sticking to the rankings, the results will come out accordingly.”
