"It's meaningful that we won the way we used to lose."

KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-chul (60) expressed satisfaction with winning the opening two consecutive games against LG last weekend. Coach Lee met with reporters ahead of the game against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 31st and smiled, saying, "We were always a little weak against LG, but I think it would be meaningful to get out of that."

KT has been weak against LG in recent years. After leading with 8 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in 2021, which won the integrated championship, it was 7 wins and 9 losses in 2022, 6 wins and 10 losses in 2023, and 7 wins and 9 losses in 2024, and 5 wins and 11 losses last year. They are inferior to each other for the fourth consecutive year. KT also gave LG the championship with one win and four losses in the 2023 Korean Series.

Manager Lee paid particular attention to the flow of the past two consecutive games. "In the game (against LG), there were many cases where we always scored first and ended up being upset, but I think the players will have more confidence this time because we won in that way," he said.

KT scored six points in the first inning in the opening game on the 28th and was caught up 7-3 in the fifth inning, but eventually kept the win 11-7. In the game on the 29th, he scored three points in the first inning first and was turned around 3-5 in the fourth, but scored two points in the sixth inning and one point in the ninth inning to win the game again 6-5.

Coach Lee Kang-chul smiled again, saying, "Since everyone talks about LG (as a favorite), shouldn't we beat LG to win anyway?"
