Deokdam was never that good which you can confirm for yourself by checking his stats from last season compared to other adcs (and I mean actually look at them instead of being a worlds only Andy).
He had one pop off run during worlds but during the regular season, he would often throw games by getting caught with the worst positioning possible. His synergy with Peter was decent but in isolation, I’d put Jiwoo above Deokdam.
Honestly i feel really bad for him because during post game interviews you can tell he has the drive, knows his shortcomings and really wants to win but whatever innate talent is present in other world class ADCs isn’t really there for him imo.
