Dplus KIA defeated DRX 2–0 to move to 15–10. With today’s win, Heo "ShowMaker" Su also reached 400 kills in the LCK, and the result helped the team further cement its hold on first place in the Rise Group. Below is the full interview with DK head coach Kim "cvMax" Dae-ho.

Thoughts on beating DRX 2–0 today?

Kim "cvMax" Dae-ho (Head Coach): I’m happy we won.

Jeon "Siwoo" Si-woo: I’m glad we won 2–0, but there were parts of our play that were disappointing. We’ll need to shore those up so we can do better next time.

What was the key to today’s victory?

Kim "cvMax" Dae-ho: We did some things well, but I feel like we won because we made fewer mistakes than the opponent. There are still things to be desired.

What, specifically, felt lacking?

Kim "cvMax" Dae-ho: Individually, our players are all top-tier, but we’re just slightly out of sync.

You’re first in the Rise Group and aiming beyond the Play-In. How do you see things going forward?

Kim "cvMax" Dae-ho: At our ceiling, I think we can envision the happiest possible future. We probably need about two more weeks on stage to really feel out the vibe of the tournament.

The mood around the Legend Group’s 4th- and 5th-place teams isn’t great right now. DK, meanwhile, is piling up wins in the Rise Group. Which side do you think is better to be in?

Kim "cvMax" Dae-ho: Being in Legend is better. Generally speaking, it’s Legend, no question. But in DK’s case it’s a bit of a special situation—while I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s better for us, being in Rise isn’t all that bad, either.

Any final words?

Kim "cvMax" Dae-ho: From what I’ve seen, Siwoo truly has a lot of potential. He’s a player who excites me, so I hope people will keep a close eye on him. Thank you for your support.
