    The South Korean esports team booked their first-ever place in the final four of LoL Worlds when they earned a brilliant 3-0 clean sweep of the Taiwan team CTBC Flyiong Oyster on Wednesday.

    Despite entering Worlds as the LCK's third seed and receiving lower power-ranking grades than the other LCK teams, KT Rolster have proven their strength with results. They earned wins over KOI, Secret Whales and Top Esports to reach the quarters undefeated and have now continued their run.

    But Deokdam isn't getting ahead of himself. The bot laner knows they will be underdogs when they meet Gen.G in the semifinals on Saturday.

    "Gen.G are strong enough to be called title favourites," he said.

    "The games won't be easy, but none of our matches getting here have been easy either. We'll prepare well like we have been. We made a few in-game mistakes today, but they came from playing freely and enjoying the game, and I'm confident for the next one.

    "I think many fans might not have expected us to make it this far. Our journey isn't over yet, so we'd be grateful for just a bit more support."
