Korea’s DAMWON Gaming Secures First Victory at Worlds 2019
In an intense 35-minute match against the TCL’s Royal Youth, DAMWON Gaming emerged victorious, marking their first win at Worlds 2019.
Throughout the early stages of the game, Royal Youth displayed impressive skirmishing and fighting skills, keeping up with DAMWON. However, as the match progressed, their weaknesses became apparent.
DAMWON Gaming Takes Down Royal Youth
Despite Royal Youth’s strong focus on teamfights, their laning phase was lacking. Top laner Jang “Nuguri” Ha-gwon and mid laner Heo “ShowMaker” Su of DAMWON Gaming secured significant CS advantages within 25 minutes. Additionally, DAMWON Gaming took the lead in objectives, securing three turrets and three ocean dragons.
Relentless Efforts from DAMWON Gaming
DAMWON Gaming never seemed in danger of losing the game, despite conceding a considerable number of kills. However, it did appear that DAMWON Gaming may have underestimated Royal Youth’s capabilities in teamfights, resulting in the high kill counts for both teams.
RYL Shows Potential Against DAMWON Gaming
Although DAMWON Gaming remains the favorite in Group D, Royal Youth displayed moments of brilliance that could propel them out of the play-in stage. If they can address their micro issues, both teams will face off against Flamengo Esports later today.
