Otherwise, Luo Zhen would not have been able to pin them down and make them watch the match with him.
But soon enough, their attention was gradually drawn in as the match began. Unlike GENG advancing in his Previous Life, Xiu Shen and Uncle had joined forces in the Quarterfinals and unleashed their full power. With performances that seemed to Defy Fate itself, they battled GENG through five grueling games and successfully forced the stronger side to its death.
But when they reached the Semifinals and encountered DRX, the LCK Region's fourth seed that had fought its way up from the Play-ins, DK suddenly realized that this was a team even more difficult to handle than GENG.
Kingen's Aatrox as he climbed the long stairway to Ascend God; Pyosik, who had lost every dragon for an entire game but secured the most important champion, the Elder Dragon; Zeka, who proved that after leaving BLG, every scattered piece was a shining star; Deft, Samsung's Orphan who had been competing for nine years; and Beryl, the World's Best Support who trained through meditation. In this Semifinals, every one of them shone with a light uniquely their own.
Although Xiu Shen and Uncle made no mistakes and repeatedly relied on their mechanics to Defy Fate in disadvantageous situations, they ultimately came up short against DRX, who had fought all the way from the Play-ins to the Semifinals.
It was not that they were weak. DRX was simply too strong.
It was another 3-1, but this time, the winner was DRX, the LCK's fourth seed. They had truly pulled off an underdog comeback from the bottom to the top and advanced to the Grand Finals!
"An incredibly beautiful series. From the Play-ins to the Grand Finals, DRX's tournament journey really does seem rather inspiring."
