Journey to the quarterfinals
Once the number one representative of the two large areas of Thu Hung struggled to see who was the strongest in MSI. Now, the position of the two teams has also changed more or less. With T1, they come to Worlds with the No. 2 seed of the Korean region. If only compared from that number 2, T1 cannot be a weak name. However, before Worlds started, many people did not really appreciate this traditional team, the reason was probably from the defeat of 0 – 3 with their weakness before the defending champion Geng Esports.
Then what T1 shows in the group stage has completely swept those judgments. In addition to the unfortunate defeat against FNC, all the remaining T1 won games are bold tactical colors and extremely convincing. This gives people the belief that this year's world trophy will probably be within the dispute of the Demon King Faker as well as the juniors.
The current T1 gameplay can be said to be not the same as a seed from Korea when they have an average time to end the game is only 26 minutes 17 seconds, quite fast compared to the common ground. Their strengths are that all 5 names are very harmonious, in which the brightest factor must make the name of the player on 2k4 – Zeus. T1 is also showing that he is having a lot of tactics turning, but in general, the most effective is to fight around this young talent.
Meanwhile, for Royal Never Give Up, they are even only the 4th seed of the tide due to the ups and downs of the domestic tournament. There was a time when people thought that LNG Esports was the last name of China. RNG's journey started from the starting round, here, they quickly made fans once again skeptical about their strength when losing to LCK's No. 4 seed, Drx and a loss of 1 game before DFM of Japan in Bo5. However, when the group stage started, RNG actually spoke.
RNG is in Group D, the group that is called Geng and their prey. But the way RNG won the opening against Korea's No. 1 seed made people admire. 3 – 0 is their convincing result in the first leg. In the second leg, when they could not play in the best physical condition by Covid-19, they were subject to ChoVy and teammates and accepted the second position.
The upper line: Zeus and Breathe
In the upper road area will be the battle between Zeus and Breathe. The name Zeus is probably no stranger, T1's top laner is the most attention factor of the team recently. Meanwhile, Breathe is a special name in this rematch because he is the replacement for the guy Bin in RNG's last spring season.
Talking about Zeus, it can be confirmed that he and 369 of JD Gaming are the two names on the best play at the current Worlds. Saying that is not denying the efforts of the other 4 names but, actually T1 even in the summer and Worlds flying with Zeus's wings.
Over 6 games in the group stage, Zeus has not chosen any generals, this shows that his champion is extremely wide and rich. In the meta that the upper wing has a more voice than before, Zeus prioritizes largely on heavy carry options such as Fiora, Jayce, Gangplank, or even an interesting yone option that is effective.
The parameters of this 2K4 guy are also very impressed with the average KDA of 3.5, the damage caused in the minute is 693.9, accounting for 28.2% of the team's damage but it only costs 22.9% of the resource. Besides, the average travel indicators are also extremely noticeable with the difference in soldiers before 15 minutes + 25.3, this figure with gold is +1315 and experience is + 719.
Meanwhile, Zeus's opponent will be Breathe, a name that has not proved too much of his own strength. Breathe is the best to self -kill on the top to create space for Wei to take care of Xiaohu and Gala. Including the play-in round, Breathe has only used 5 generals after 16 games. And as mentioned, the current meta supports the Top Carry generals so Breathe is also assigned to cards like Aatrox, Jax or Fiora.
Even so + Breathe is not having a high ratio. Specifically, the difference in soldiers and gold and the experience of the upper line RNG in the 15th minute are – 9.4, + 61 and – 242. Other parameters only stop at the good level with KDA 3.4, damage in minutes is 415.5, accounting for 20.1% of the whole team when receiving up to 22.7% of the resource. Overall Zeus is the one who is highly appreciated.
Forest: Oner – Wei
Once considered a stable name and always made slow steps that surely among the 4 T1, Oner knights in the last group stage made everyone worried. In the last 6 matches in the group stage, Oner used only three generals, Lee Sin, Viego and Sejuani. Oner's plus point is that this guy is in a very good punishment when he continuously holds an important goal for T1.
Oner's playboy play is also evident in his index when the difference of the monster and gold index of Oner in the 15th minute is – 3.3 and – 54. However, with the team protection style, ready to be present at the fight, the experience index is still guaranteed at + 58.
On the other side of the battle line, the opponent of Oner is Wei, the brightest factor at the current RNG and also the one who gave Oner to eat at the last MSI final. With the ability to move map control extremely well, Wei always silently creates an advantage for the team in a very visual way. Wei's generals are quite flexible, from the card like Graves to the gladiator like Vi or Viego or the tanker like Maookai, he still shows well.
Wei's parameters are also quite good for KDA 5.9, vision point 2.16, the rate of participation is 63.3%. Wei's 15th minute difference is very good with monster index – 5.3, + 143 gold and positive + experience. It can be seen that Wei is a more contribution to the team, but the way to fight around Zeus of Oner cannot be underestimated.
Middle way: faker – xiaohu
Unlike the youth in other positions, the backbone of both teams will be kept by Faker and Xiaohu. Experiencing a series of ups and downs in his career, now, people no longer see Faker as a mid lane player in the world. This has partly confirmed that Faker's level may not be compared with the current mid laner but with mischievousness, he still knows how to respect others.
At Worlds this year, Faker brought a total of 4 options including Akali, Sylas, Lissandra and Viktor. The only 4 generals is probably just a tactic of the team and partly, Faker is no longer as big as before, so he will head to options to open fights, harass the enemy team squad and make a background for juniors.
Looking at the road index, it can be said that Faker breathed a lot of oxygen in the stage before the 15th minute with a series of differences, – 7.5 soldiers, – 381 gold and – 372 experience. The fighting indicators of this 2K2 young talent are only quite average with KDA 3.9, the damage per minute is 532.7, accounting for 21.5% of the whole team, this number is still fine with a position that receives only 19.4% of the resource. This also reflects a part of the game towards moving to create advantages for Faker's juniors.
Similar to Faker, Xiaohu has also been an old man with RNG for many years. In a way, Xiaohu's current gameplay is quite similar to Faker when he prioritizes the options of Make Play, controls and stirres fighting with generals like Galio, Akali or Ahri. Besides, the Lissandra card can also be considered as a champion of the new guy who can catch any death, or especially a clustered squad.
Xiaohu's index is similar to Faker, the difference in the 15th minute of Tieu Ho – 14.6 soldiers, – 472 gold and negative – experience. In return, Xiaohu's fighting index is slightly better than Faker with KDA 4.8, the damage in minutes is 501.5, accounting for 24.7% of the team's damage when only receiving 21.2% of resources.
Below: Gumayusi and Keria – Gala and Ming
The couple Gumayusi and Keria after a period of diving in the outfit, now being able to declare that we are back and more dangerous than before. With a series of brilliant performances, the T1 couple has continuously allowed the fans and antifan to admire, the A -shaped eyes of the O, especially the gunner who used to wear Tier 2, costs Gumayusi soldiers.
Back to Prince Gumiyusi, he improved his champion with more Meta options. Guma was also more confident in many personal handling, daring to shoot, dare to discharge damage without fear of anyone. Meanwhile, Guma's same player, Keria, has also partially relieved the lower scene pressure and return to his performance. The couple also often won the road and put pressure on many other lanes, the viewer could not help but remember the spring when they swept the LCK.
In terms of indicators, all parameters of these two guys are good to be good. With Guma, his most outstanding parameters are probably the indicators before the 15th minute when all numbers are positive, +18.3 soldiers, +906 gold and +254 experience. KDA of the gunner T1 Top 1 group stage with 18.3. In return, the gold index converted into his damage is still a little problem when Gumayusi deals a total of 26.1% of the team damage when receiving 26% of the integer.
His teammate Keria also owns a very good KDA is 15.4. Besides, he is also the source of compensation for the vision that Oner is lacking with 2.16 vision points per minute.
Meanwhile, no matter what RNG's gameplay, the Gala will still be the key fuse of the Royal Army squad. Gala has long been famous as a super gunner with extremely good shooting ability in fighting; Meanwhile, Ming supported Ma Uzi's time still playing with the ability to help his gunner shine as much as possible.
The current gunner tank also somewhat supported Gala when almost every strong general in the meta, he used it well. If not because in Group D there is a too powerful Ruler, the Gala will probably shine more in Worlds this year. Meanwhile, Ming with many years of competition experience also gives herself a sufficient number of champions to adapt to all meta. From here, it can be said that RNG's lower wings depend on whether the Gala wants to “laugh” that day or not.
Gala does not have a superior travel index like Gumayusi when his 15th minute differences only won the road with all the positive numbers. However, Gala is better than Guma in converting money into damage. Specifically, RNG gunner deals 674.7 damage per minute, equivalent to 31.5% of the team's damage when receiving 24.3% of resources. Gala's KDA is also good at 7.1
Overall Gumayusi & Gala is a debt confrontation to recreate the final of MSI 2022, 4 months ago Gala shot Gumayusi, and now is the time when the young gunner T1 spoke up, regaining what was lost to the opponent.
