Da Kun Gaming is more than prepared to reach the grand finals
The first-ever international esports event for Wild Rift, the Horizon Cup 2021 features the top-tier teams from around the world competing for the title of World Champions. In a conversation with AFK Gaming, the team’s Mid Laner Muchuang “You” You revealed how the team managed to stay dominant in the tournament.
With high stakes at hand, Da Kun Gaming made sure to come prepared and have formulated strategies and team compositions that can help them take down the best of the best Wild Rift teams.
“To be honest, we really prepared for the Horizon Cup (2021), we played many scrims during the normal days. We also gathered a lot of information about teams from other regions and we did some research on them. Our preparation was totally completed,” stated You
But despite being prepared for the tournament, Da Kun Gaming is far from perfect. According to You, the team did make some mistakes during its semifinals match against Team Secret.
“I’m so happy that we won this game. In the second game, we couldn’t play so well and made many mistakes so we lost. But it’s just a reminder for us that we should focus on ourselves so we can play our best in the next two games,” stated You.
The semifinals match ended with a 3-1 match score, in favor of Da Kun Gaming. Despite Team Secret losing the match, it did put up a good fight against the Chinese team.
Following Da Kun Gaming’s victory in the semifinals, its fellow Chinese team, ThunderTalk Gaming also dominated its match against Rolster Y and will proceed in the grand finals. The climax of the Horizon Cup 2021 will see two Chinese teams battling it out to prove who is the strongest Chinese team.
According to You, the reason why the most dominant teams in the Horizon Cup 2021 are the Chinese team is due to how big the esports scene is in the region. A lot of promising teams and pro players are debuting in local tournaments which further makes local events more competitive.
“I think all of our Chinese teams have played very hard and we practiced more. We also have a lot of teams in our region and the inner competition is too fierce. That’s why we are so strong,” stated You.
