Could be, but more likely that it's because they have to play their bench players and this was probably the best match to do it. Same thing LH did with Gido last season and what they tried to do with LTJ this one.
The match was a bit closer than I expected but then again KDP looked like they messing around and only getting somewhat serious after getting capped. The real test for Foxes will be KDU, it's do or die in the next one.
