In a recent interview, the experienced players showered commendation on T1's bot lane duo.
Recognized as one of the most veteran ADC-Support pairs in LCK, it's understandable that the synergy of Deft and Beryl living together has garnered significant fan attention. After his contract expiration with DWG KIA, Beryl became the new support for DRX in the 2022 season. Meanwhile, for Deft, this marks a return after a year, where he and Chovy departed to join Hanwha Life Esports.
Despite both having taken different paths, based on their past performances, they continue to be a bot lane duo with numerous potential surprises. Notably, even without prior collaboration, their early days at DRX showcased unexpected camaraderie and similarity.
However, Deft and BeryL, when asked about the most formidable bot lane duo in the upcoming season, chose a different pair. Deft straightforwardly answered: 'In my opinion, Gumayusi and Keria are the duo I highly regard at the moment. I'm really looking forward to facing T1's bot lane.'
On the other hand, the former support of DK shared: 'For me, T1 is the team with the bot lane duo I need to be most cautious of. Looking at the individual skills of Gumayusi and Keria, I think they are truly excellent. Although both are still very young and lack as much competitive experience as other players, their skills are really good.'
For Deft and Beryl, both are seasoned players, and therefore, their assessments are highly intriguing. Gumayusi and Keria are young talents with undeniable skills. Moreover, they display remarkable synergy, rivaling any long-standing bot lane duo, especially in the recent Worlds 2021.
In the new season, T1 maintains almost the entire roster that competed in Iceland a few months ago. Surely, as the experience gaps in the young players are gradually filled, T1 will become an immensely formidable team, capable of competing for any title.
