T1 Zeus: ‘I got greedy for POG votes and played very poorly’
The top laner admits to his faults.
T1 Zeusis not a fan of selfish gameplay, especially when he’s the culprit.
In Week 8 of theLeague of LegendsChampions Korea (LCK) Summer Split, T1 dominated their match against Nongshim RedForce, but the 2-1 victory wasn’t as sweet as Choi “Zeus” Woo-je thought it would.
During the post-match press conference, the top laner revealed that he actually feeling very disappointed in himself for focusing on the Player of the Game award.
T1 Zeus reflects on his recent performance against Nongshim RedForce
Zeus currently shares the top spot of the POG standings withLSB’s Lee “Prince” Chae-hwanandGen.G’s Park “Ruler” Jae-hyukat 1,100 points, and had the chance to take the lead during their match against Nongshim RedForce.
“I played very poorly. I recently received a lot of POG votes so I got greedy, which led to my misplays,” he said according to anInven Global translation.
T1 Zeus played champions Zac and Renekton for the first time in 2022 LCK Summer. The top laner said that the main issue was not the builds or runes that he used, but the plays that he tried to make.
Zeus further elaborated on the Renekton pick. He believes that he should’ve played better when the champion hit his power spike. Since he hasn’t found much success on the pick since last year, Renekton sticks out like a “sore thumb” compared to other champs, he added.
Despite the mishaps, Zeus saw it as an opportunity to expand his champion pool. “The more champions I play, the more options I’ll have in the future. I’m proactively trying to play different options in the top lane,” he said.
