Career: "I am very, very confident in our Worlds 2026 run"
Preparation, individual effort, and unwavering faith in teammates: this is the foundation of Oh "Career" Hyeong-seok's mindset. Following Dplus KIA's victory over Movistar KOI in the Worlds 2026 Swiss Stage, the support player expressed immense confidence in the team's ability to compete in the Knockout Stage.
Even though Dplus KIA entered the tournament as the fourth seed from LCK, Career remains highly optimistic. He attributed the team's successful start to rigorous practice, strategic direction from the coaching staff, and the hard work of every player. By securing their spot in the Knockout Stage without a loss, they became the first team to do so in the current stage.
A key point of the interview was the synergy between Career and his lane partner, Sin "Smash" Geum-jae. Despite both players making their Worlds debuts, their partnership has already proven successful. Career emphasized that his confidence stems not just from individual performance, but from the deep trust he has in his teammates to execute their game plans.
As the team moves forward, the goal is to translate this momentum into a successful tournament outcome. Career also took a moment to thank the Korean fans for their dedication and expressed his love for the fans in Texas. The Worlds 2026 Swiss Stage concludes on October 31, setting the stage for the high-stakes knockout matches.
