We need to get our st together: NRG Dhokla intent on avoiding previous LCS playoffs pitfalls

Within 20 minutes of yesterday’s 2023 LCS Summer Split match between NRG and Team Liquid, Summit’s Fiora had become monstrously fed. If NRG wanted even a slight chance at taking down Liquid and subsequently climbing the standings slightly, they’d have to eventually confront this raid boss head-on—one that Dhokla took complete accountability for.

Thanks to a handful of overextensions from their opponents, NRG were able to avoid Summit almost completely, letting them stare directly at a hard-fought and well-earned victory. Yet even as his teammates collectively sighed in relief that a back-and-forth 30-minute game had ended in their favor, Dhokla couldn’t shake the feeling that much of this could have been avoided.
