Deftly’s EG dominance: How Impact and IgNar fuel LCS Lock In success while avoiding complacency
Undefeated Start with Guarded Optimism
Matthew ‘Deftly’ Chen of Evil Geniuses cautions against overconfidence despite their flawless 3-0 opening in the LCS Lock In tournament, emphasizing the team’s need for continuous improvement.
While Evil Geniuses emerged as the sole undefeated LCS team in the preseason tournament’s first weekend, bot laner Deftly stresses the importance of maintaining hunger for World Championship aspirations.
Their dominant victories included spoiling Perkz’s Cloud9 debut, crushing Immortals 17-3, and defeating Dignitas’ young squad in 34 minutes – results Deftly attributes partly to favorable circumstances rather than peak performance.
The Impact-IgNar Leadership Duo
Vocal Leadership on the Rift
Jeong ‘Impact’ Eon-young’s dominant Renekton play and Lee ‘IgNar’ Dong-geun’s strategic shotcalling create a powerful leadership combination that drives EG’s early-game coordination.
Cohesion Through Communication
“Their clear, assertive communication helps synchronize our plays,” Deftly explains. “When Impact and IgNar align on strategy, we consistently generate substantial gold leads through executed plans.”
Pro Tip: Effective team communication like EG’s often separates good teams from great ones – consider implementing structured comms drills in your own play.
Deftly’s Personal Roadmap to Greatness
Proving His Worth
Despite the team’s success, Deftly remains focused on individual growth: “I’m grateful for EG’s trust when others doubted me. Now I must prove I belong among LCS elites through consistent performance.”
Long-term World Championship Goals
The 23-year-old balances immediate results with EG’s ultimate objective: “Worlds qualification requires avoiding complacency after early wins. We’re using this strong start as fuel for sustained development.”
Common Mistake: Many players plateau by celebrating early success – follow Deftly’s example of using wins as motivation rather than validation.
