Day One of the League of Legends KeSPA Cup 2020 Ulsan
The scoreline of all the five matches of Day One are as follows:
- Match One: DAMWON Gaming 1-0 Nongshim RedForce
- Match Two: Liiv SANDBOX 1-0 Afreeca Freecs
- Match Three: DRX 0-1 DAMWON Gaming
- Match Four: Nongshim RedForce 1-0 Liiv SANDBOX
- Match Five: Afreeca Freecs 0-1 DRX
DAMWON Gaming got off to a brilliant start in the 2020 KeSPA Cup. They dominated throughout and won both their games against Nongshim RedForce and DRX.
DRX, on the other hand, had lots of internal issues to deal with. They were unsure of participation as their head coach Kim "cvMAx" Dae-ho had recently faced a five-month long ban for legal violations.
The team, somehow, got them enlisted for the tournament on the last day of registration with interim coach Kim "SSONG" Sang-soo and showcased a decent performance. Even though they lost their first clash against DAMWON Gaming, DRX were off the mark in their second game as they defeated Afreeca Freecs comfortably.
Liiv SANDBOX and Nongshim RedForce had one win each, and Afreeca Freecs is yet to claim its first point.
DAMWON Gaming's jungler Kim "Canyon" Geon-bu was the highlight of the day. He got yet another Pentakill with his Graves against DRX. Canyon was the first jungler to ever get a Pentakill in LCK and he did it again in the KeSPA Cup.
Day Two promises even more interesting League of Legends fixtures.
