LNG vs T1 - Game 2 | Quarter Finals LoL Worlds 2023 | LNG Gaming vs T1 - G2 full

level pairings that people hate to give would also be a flex pick for1 Z has actually still plays it top even though it isn't that popular anymore definitely one of his comfort Champions and yeah the kaisa for me is the other big one cuz I think that Gala individually on the kaisa look great I don't think he was the problem in that game I think it was more so the fact he was playing into a lane that relied on H hung hitting Blitz grank hooks what didn't happen and then come mid game like what was he going to do with his team already being so far behind I think you're completely correct there I think we didn't really get to see most of their composition work at all because they fell so far behind in the early to mid game that even if kaisa had been able to do something it just wouldn't have been impactful with the gold and level discrepancy we saw that said atro again locked in confident to double down on the blind pick and no reason you shouldn't be Zas was behind put behind in the individual match up and still came out on top in the 1 V ones and I think so much of that really came down to this fight around Herold that went so bad you know ziko was ahead prior to that they had the gank he got the first Blood he had a massive CS advantage about 20 CS I believe it was at that time but that fight goes so bad it really brought Zas back in it and then of course z got the solo Kill from there really took over it is going to be the Jace as expected should be going towards Scout and now we have to find out where they want to go from here do you pick a top laner now are you willing to go back towards that Gwen are you scared off of it after that first game Renekton definitely a stable pick but it is going to be Gwen again and I think I think it makes sense right like I don't think you can just completely doubt yourself or your picks after that first game because it was so much down to execution and there was so many errors you know you talked about the small errors but there was also massive ones as well oh as it is the Silas locked in we've seen this picked a ton into the ma guy specifically we'll be able to get an insane amount of counter value there also has been very high on the ban list against a blot of other lck teams that have already highly prioritized the champion my main issue with the Gwen and I don't think this is player dependent is that it does feel like a lot of the game deciding fights in the current meta happen before GW truly is like the 1 v9 machine that we know she can be I feel like her free item break point is absolutely nuts but a lot of games are decided before that and I think that's where the Renekton to me even though it does make you very heavy on the ad could have maybe provided more of a counterweight in mid game might have been able to I think my attention is naturally drawn to the mid lane now because we've gotten so used to Oriana kind of Aer matchups whereas instead now we have this jce silus a much more explosive potentially much more volatile mid lane match up Scout said in his interview with lore back in Swiss like hey I don't feel like mid lane has lot of agency right now to carry the game very different story in this kind of matchup I agree and I think Faker most people would not have expecting him to to get the better of scout in the 1 V one and in the first game Faker absolutely did this time Scout is going to have the agency in the early levels on the Jae to try to push in to try to punish this silus and it is going to be the Varys which I always think you know is nice in some of these early situations cuz it is really flexible you can go AP you can go on hit you can go lethality there's lots of different angles here I do think they need need some consistent DPS so I am expecting it to be either AP or just purely on hit but knowing Guma would you say it's more likely to be AP I think given how a lot of the L teams have been using it it's probably lethality especially with the amount of setup that's already available um and I think that also playing into LNG there is a lot of threats there where you don't really get to be close up and actually deal damage I think if it's like an or or more of a front line pick in the top side maybe but would expect this to be the lefel specifically there is also still the flex potential again here with the rail verus re very strong bot side with a ton of power um and there is the opportunity for owner to go to S something like his lead this is an R5 counter Pi opportunity though and is it going to be the double Marksman they back this is so funny cuz I was talking about that in picking b game number one how carry was so flexible during this meta where he was one of those guys that you really could count on in this double Marksman meta we have not been seeing it a long time do you think it's going to be the support Ash or the support vars cuz both of those were somewhat uh valid at the time I mean we'll see where they want to go again they have till 20 seconds to decide what lane or who wants to pick what Champion but I feel like LG have just been consistently on the back foot again the second game they had the loss they opted for blue side T1 again using this support counter pick to such great effectiveness at least in terms of throwing off LG plans that said still have to execute in game it's going to be so interesting cuz you know when we saw these kind of lanes back in the day it was a lot of double Hala blades you know all about the early levels all about the aggression really utilizing that power to try to harass someone like the raan down before they can even look for those engages before they can call their jungler down because if you can keep them chipped out if you can keep them pushed in then it's very easy to track the jungler and Tarzan's job also becomes a lot more difficult against the Haw shot that K is going to have so it's not just going to be the wards he has to circumvent he has to worry about these Haw shots and getting tracked from that worry about potential invades coming in from owner on the well as well so I do think there's going to be a lot of pressure already here on how Gala and Hong are going to be able to actually work this and and this was specifically a type of pairings where T1 looked monstrously far ahead of everyone else during the Spring meta right when it was all about and we saw like cadin support uh the VAR the ash right we basically saw everything yeah the worst time to play bot history of or the best depending on if you enjoyed those supports yeah it was it was or if your name was K yeah it was every single game right every single game you heal level one just to get PRI of the wave and from that point on the game becomes very unfund the play for the opponents and it is going to be the double Hal of blades I was talking about so they are clearly going to be going all in for that early pryo in that first couple levels here trying to chunk down Hong who's been spotted and two slows already coming through the St going to connect the abduct forcing out the W start coming in from Hong now walking away that's the heal you mentioned at level one a little sooner than we expected expected chronicler but just trying to Zone the raan away yeah I think they thought they might be able to actually get all the way in to force out a Summoner unfortunately the heal does get kind of wasted there so I think that removes a lot of the advantage they had from that initial attack you can also see Gala knowing how hard this Lane he's going to be he's on boots four pot so this is about as defensive as a start as you can get trying to have the sustain to survive and trying to have the ability to S side step and avoid a lot of this damage the damage is still done though because Hong had to start with his W level one right like one of the big advantage that I think has gotten and why his laning pH that used to be one of his weak points has gotten way stronger than he used to be is because if you hit your gaming Quail you can tank so much of the damage but now you're basically not going to be able to contest this early game at all and K and Guma that's right where they want to be so frustrating to play against this volley Halo blades now P just to back away eating two of those Autos nice bit of gold over to the side of carer and remember that you can earn exclusive worlds 2023 drops right linking your Riot account on law esports.com worlds Emos icons get in there get your stuff just like bars is getting in there right now because Hil of blades baby oh you can't win a trade against it that's the fun part big here as well is that T1 did place the board down on Raptor so the know that Charon is towards the top side of the map so there's two options either T1 need to get the wave in before there is an opportunity to gank set up some Tri Vision or have owner path towards the bot side it looks like that's not going to be the case though they made the read and owner now can invade towards top side or look for a gank on Scout well they saw that he had no blue buff so owner's just going to invade on the blue because that Ward over by Raptors saw him they know that he didn't go up towards that blue so it's going to be the blue taken away and owner could potentially even get the gromp as well and really get far ahead and that Haw shot I do believe actually spotted them yet you can see the pings over on Tarzan there so that's the angle when you get the push here it's so easy to get that perfect angle on ash to be able to spot out all of these Bots side camps and even some of the top side camps and you can see the damage already being done this is going to be the first waves crash crashing in at 3 minutes and they're likely going to get a plate right now they're going to get a plate owner's very likely to reset and then be able to take his entire bottom side jungle while his bot Lane has priority so there will be no counter punch no counterplay for LG and they sticking Force something Top This is a clean early game from T1 thus far I also think there's a potential double Scuttle angle I think he can do the top side Scuttle he has so much p on Bots side you can't really contest for that Scuttle so it could be invade two Camp taken away and Scout May the gank looking to force stun comes out on the shattering strike a bit of for yeah that was necessary from Scout if he does not early flash there he's going to get Q flash he's going to get flinged in I think he's dead oh they do spot Charan we'll see if Ono wants to contest here zika does have early pry towards the top side so this does deny the double Scuttle and that's a big win for lmg allows tarzon to actually maintain some parody when it comes to farm and I think that's the cost of the attempted gang right because he could have just stayed and taken that Scuttle on spawn but instead he does elect actually go for this and Tarzan now is hoping that hey are raptors up can I actually evade for this he goes and looks but Raptors are not there so there's nothing really for him to take the Scuttle being taken on Bots Side by owner and now he can clear back into his botside take those three camps can even look up towards uh the kugs respawn and you can see the T1 pings on their own kugs cuz they're saying hey watch out Zas because this is the one place that Tarzan could look for a gank right now if he's up by my kugs he could be looking for a gank in behind well no get spotted there with the sapling going over to the wart so we see the pinks T1 again is aware we got a s Gala and hung able to take the early beating decently well there is still a lot of sustain available though for gumma double cookies as well as a uh refillable potion for the Varys yeah meanwhile in the mid lane Faker losing the sustain War he hasn't recalled yet Scout has of course already used his TP back to Lane potential window here to try to capitalize on Faker still has the flash available the healing as well can he find a Target is going to flash back under the tower shock blast there Faker making it out to safety Scout looking to fall up the healing now coming in trying to find the one for one but outout will stand strong getting the kill on Faker in the mid lane that's huge for LG and a mistake from Faker steps back he had evaded the gank he had gotten away but he wanted to greet out for it owner though does spot Scout mounted up the sapping going to slow him down enough that Scout can't escape TP now coming in though Faker most likely just going to catch the wave here do they want to commit for anything else the delay actually means a lot because Scout had already committed his TP prior to that play So now that there's that big delay he's going to lose likely a full wave as Faker is going to be able to bounce and push this back in and and T1 no they have full pry for this Dragon here so they're going to be able to start this up there's no way Jace can join really important that the gank works out though there cuz tarzon was like level three when that started off and if that play doesn't end up working out they fall behind very much now able to get Scout ahead early as we see the uh gank come through here again yeah not much to this honestly nice e here from Faker buys a little bit of space the shock BL does connect but then the flash out and it's just greed he goes back in want to see if he could get some XP or get some of those minions does give over the the first blood but again look at the Gold it's T1 up gold when at 6 minutes you have a first blood that has a massive difference they have actually overcome just through farm and through the plate already on bot side you can see look at G's position you know he had to buy those four pots early on had to use them all in that first kind of cycle of laning phase and now on the other side you've got some early lethality picked up you've got tier 2 boots early on here from K which is one of the really nice advantages about actually playing these range supports here is that it's so easy to farm gold compared to a Relic Shield get so much more gold as long as you have access to these autos and to actually hitting in on that so great early buys for T1 bottom Lane certainly and I think it's frustrating too because the gold lead is actually bigger than implied because you've already spent 200 gold on pots in the case of Gallow you've already lost so much gold just going for consumables Guma has the refillable not losing nearly as much and this is going to be frustrating as they go further into the lane boots two going to make it safer but meanwhile in the mid lane Taran in the area but again the Haw shots coming through yeah also the ward there in uh in the pixel brush actually spotting him and it it doesn't look like L are aware of that so W's going to remain there and continue giving information over I do think that T1 specifically have already been on good track with this but especially with these double ad carry comps which if you haven't watched in Spring used to be old the rage it's really important you start stacking the dragons early I do think it's the type of comp where once you lose control you're in trouble but if massive damage the Escape barely coming through there that was really close and yeah I agree you have to really Le stay ahead because as much as you can kind of really deal a lot of punishment to these bottom Lanes all of a sudden raan hits six and the jungler shows up and you get Flash on and you're both dead well there goes your lead right so you do have to pay respect to that but look at ker he was wrapping around wanted to Zone g off so it's going to be at least one more plate going T's way it's going to be not only pushing Hong back and almost killing him it's now a nearly 20 CS lead because of the Cs being denied from Gala his buys are going to be horrible and there's going to be so much pressure now on the S LAN barely avoiding the tiny little kitty cats but owner didn't know that they didn't know so he has to back off because Zas making his way over in the Game of Poker they won the bluff was successful unintentionally so but working nonetheless as owner now going to back away the one strong point of the map right now is Z on the top side winning out in isolation 83 CS to 69 now is uh hro you know going to catch a couple here under the tower but weren't able to leverage his strength in the previous game went wrong pretty quickly have to imagine and he's learned from those mistakes sometimes the players just too good for their own good you know if you just weren't looking at the mini map you could have just stayed on the blue buff and taken it wouldn't even know the Z was missing Suffering From Success man exactly and we do now see this heral being started up T1 100% want to go in on this carrier doesn't hit six just yet though won't have the arrow available lot of poke coming down from Scout this is a must win for T1 zus isn't here yet have to be careful about grouping up in the choke Gala does have six and ultimate Goa waiting over the wall 1 second left on the chain of corruption has it now health bar already pretty low here 41 look at Tarzan he wants to get a really good angle for the ma he's trying to set it up because Hong doesn't have six so he needs to be the one to start off that engage they were hoping that T1 would overcommit in use the Maly all to be able to set up that engage here from Hong uh but it is going to be Gala basing so LNG looking like they're going to bail out of this and just head him down towards bot because if you look at the map it's a big wave that's actually crashing and even with leaving I think he's going to be too late unfortunately to get most of that that wave is likely going to bounce so T1 is kind of going to win out on both sides I think T1 doesn't know this yet though so they're not committing fully to the play especially because with Tarzan and zik are still postering this aggressively T1 haven't really caught on so we do now start see the pings go down on the bot side turret as well Gala I think was also sitting on white so should be able to actually get a big counter punch here if T1 doesn't respond in time we do see the backs being channeled now yeah but they could even send down you know Z to answer this if they really want if they're concerned about plates going down but he is going to TP back up towards top Guma and car are heading down towards bottom so I don't think they're going to get much maybe one plate here for Gala Scout gets one plate mid as well so they're trying to get something back here but it's going to be potentially about this counter punch around bot Lane if you look at where the raon and the maai are they are here waiting to catch the T1 bot Lane as they do return and this is a situation where T1 stepping up be high RIS the TP they' called the play out they've sniffed it out they see tarzen G shreding through two plates but what else will T1 be able to get of scan forward abduct the arrow hitting Gala going to be able to walk away from now maai stopping the play in its tracks but T1 holding on to three plates on the bottom side heage is there though for LM and again I think this is a must get this Dragon for1 Tarzan Tarzan in trouble stolen maai ultimate leaping back pushed away by the dragon getting a little push back to safety here but T want now Priority Access to the second Drake of the game and even with Faker not hitting a skill just the fact that Charon doesn't have his ultimate available means that L doesn't want to risk it and it's going to be second R going over to T1 as well and with no cleanse on Gala he had to use that down on bot side the stolen Malai Al all of the CC available from owner I think Gala would have been a dead man if they tried to fight this one so it's going to be pushed back Scout trading with Baker obviously can't continue to chase down towards that b side where you know all the T1 members are and this Sid Lane has just been mostly kind of left alone zika and Z been battling back and forth It's BAS Bally dead even a couple CS to separate the two and we'll have to see you know who's going to be able to get that Sid Lane Advantage step forward the combo coming through the Abduction of the kitty cats once again forcing out the flash the snare will connect but there is no follow up there instead The Herald immediately going to get dropped T1 now looking to grab two plates here Flash in though owner not happy with just two plat Scout now going to be in trouble but they can't quite find the damage Faker going forward looking for a bit of Revenge after the first Tower dive he will find the kill on the Scout as the Herold crashes it's a great dive from T1 owner no hesitation even with Tarzan I think handling that very well trying to block out Faker keep him from following up Faker still had the flash so he flashes in finishes the kill gets out and they get the plates with the crash H now stepping in the flash away the flash to safety the slows big Kuma locked down should get taken out here chains of corruption going wide he will not be able to get anything back crucial kill over to Gala and really big play there from zika able to find his way towards that bide and that's the one risk you always run with this double Marksman Lane is overextending it will be play uh paying some plates inside but I'm pretty sure zika also should be able to get some here towards the bot Lane and you can see how many Summoners that actually cost T1 gumu went with the early cleanse but Kia used both his Summoners as well in that Retreat so they're going to be vulnerable but here's that earlier dive Tarzan again does a good job peeling Faker off as best as he can blocks the abscond of duck but then Faker just flashes in he's got multiple of those passive Autos stored up and owner was tanking the tower on the other side really well played from the T1 jungler setting Faker up and again again it's another good start here from Faker was incredible on the Oriana and he's kind of been set up for Success there's multiple good Altis for him to steal it's not just the maai Al I do think seeing that Recon Al is also really really powerful so he could have another good one here what I do think is important though is that when you look at the 5v5 LNG they are somewhat behind it's about 5 600 gold but Cloud Drake isn't the type of Drake where I think this if this was an infernal like last game you'd be looking at it very differently but T1 does need to maintain control of this map cuz once you lose it and you start to actually front to back against aelio maai Gwen and raan you're going to be in deep trouble well so much of it is going to be about the early poke you know how much poke can Guma get down you know Gala is really behind the curve so if he's actually getting poke down getting chipped out it's going to be difficult for him cuz he's so far away from being able to get towards something like a BT to be able to answer this you know your economy has been pushed way back of course that kill he gets on the B side does help him but it'll be really heavily down to execution and T1 have great engage as well you not only with the Sten Al from Faker but the carer ultimates ashrow narly dodged away from there calm cool collected wrong going to clear out this wave and I think it's an excellent call out that this is such a tricky position for L to find themselves in need to hold on to some semblance of control in this game good news is after that game one much more controlled game two at least trading a little bit trading blow for blow matching in some circumstances while T1 still grabbing more plates still holding on to a gold lead l at least not making the same mechanical missteps that they did in game one what is really important though is for L to try and hold on to these turrets as long as that outer ring of turrets remains standing T1 can't really fully take control especially once car finishes his umbral if you start dropping turrets uh and I think the second Herald actually going to be pretty hotly contested for this reason it becomes a lot harder to actually keep control and I do think the single Target lock down on T1 can be really tough to deal with take a look at the match Card Lane economy snapshot it's all over the place but at least there's no one with a crazy massive gold lead like there was in the previous game this is a very very even game number two it's going to be such an exciting one a lot of pressure I feel like on LNG you know after that first game if you drop the second one and the close one it becomes incredibly difficult because then you're faced with match point from T1 and T1 wanting to ex wanting to be able to keep the pressure on going with such different bot Lane strategies we've seen it move more heavily towards these enchanter Lanes but car backto back games playing double Marksman bot Lane down here and thus far looking incredibly good T1 leveraging their priority into the mid lane the control that someone like a lethality bars is going to give you by just piercing arrowing every wave that comes forward to break mid one uh mid-tier one Tower and I got to say I agree it feels like T1 have identified Gala as a big threat have drafted in a way that stops him from being relevant for so much of the early game allowing a lot of their other players to really shine it's also something that we've seen in the tournament meta right and it's been one of the big reasons why uh we saw blg for example be really successful why wo was able to get such big leads consistently it's this bside counter pick as Z goes in on Tarzan Tarzan comes through with the Twisted Advance Z getting lower and lower going to try to burn through hat trigger isn't going to be enough flash out to safety on the back side Kuma managing to land the ultimate a little bit of followup damage Z coming back in for the extra healing double TP now going in Faker is there lock down coming and Z is going to try to find one Faker is toing away the ultimate that's the needle work coming out LG being pushed back by the side of T1 Baker stolen maai ultimate will connect but no further fight breaks out but look at the health Tarzan is incredibly low stepping a little bit too far here but still has the flash holds on to it won't even use it going to be the heal invested instead T1 still going to start this up Z does have TP available and it looks like Soul Point 17 not even 17 minutes in is going to go to T1 yeah the initial play looked like it was going LG's way but with the first DP coming through Tarzan had to retreat they couldn't Chase in and try to finish off Zas and it did mean that despite the trades back and forth of these Summoner spells of these cool Downs it was taring incredibly low with no flash you can't walk in as 20% HP maai and try to contest this Dragon so T1 as you say on Soul point and maybe it's not the exact one that they do want but still a soul is a soul and flat move speed is always valuable and a downtown Arrow might be enough to get Baker in here Scout zooming out safety just in time not quite enough duration on that one thank you Merk Treads honestly a crucial purchase against a team with this much upfront CC with this much engage potential H not quite going to connect on a baker there second Herold stolen away Chronicle you talked about how important that one could be T1 were able to break tier one mid without its Health but maybe LG can use it to fire back it's a really good counter punch from L CU it means that you can probably hold on to both of your outer turrets for a lot longer and T1 also possibly could have leveraged the pressure that the her provides into that an advantage in the eventual Soul fight in about 4 minutes time and we do see T1 continuously looking aggressive but right now there's no real objective on the map right so they can either try and go and play aggressively towards these sides send multiple people there and look for a dive opportunity or try and find individual picks and setup for the dragon when it does come up and I mean you could see how much of an emphasis there was towards the dragon you just look towards the bot side all of vision there and now they're getting Vision in around that top side as well uh is T1 constantly pushing forward utilizing Haw shot utilizing vol the check brushes moving around with owner establishing forward vision control here to try to kind of move up that line and even open up opportunities like this where faker's pushing in top owner and carrier are going to cover him and it's likely going to be a tier one Tower unless LG are really willing to fight for it for L do I do looking at the gold and the item break points that have been hit they can also just decide to give up uh control of the area for now as long as you don't give over the dragon I I do think that you're going to reach the two item break points we're seeing that g getting close same for zika and from that point on one fight can be enough and I do still think that that is where L if they can actually get that front to back could look for a turn around I think they can but I'm really concerned for their ability to if T1 is first one to that objective I think we're going to see T1 committing coold Downs really aggressively just to get chunks down on LG we're going to see stolen maai ultimate come out right away we're going to see the ultimates coming out from K and Guma everyone just committing these resources early in a fight to try to chunk LNG down to a point where they can't get that 100 to zero fight because that is what they're looking for they're looking for that fight to start and they just overwhelm their opponents with the engage but if T1 has you down to half Health to 30% Health before it even starts you can't really engage you can't look for it and team1 with lethality varus are just always going to have mid pry first it's so hard to get your vision down you will always be responding to the pressure that T1 puts on the map it's a difficult situation and I feel especially for LG support H this guy has to be the big playmaker the raon is the one piece of reliable proactive engage your team has and the tool that you can use to shatter kind of the glass cannon that T1 are bringing to the table but this is a guy who struggled last game on Blitz crank this is a lot to ask from a player when you're already at a single game deficit and he had such a rough game one it's also the reason why the silus was actually getting banned a lot we saw blg do it very consistently cuz I do think that maokai loses so much of his power when the opponent can just answer right I think maai ultimate yeah it it it literally is but not only is it a better version of your it also takes away so much of what I think makes the champion so agressive allows you to set up shop and your opponents particularly with Champions like the JS try to walk up they just get blown up before they can even get to the objective I like the timing of this attempt here from K so he shoots out the ultimate and it's at a time where if you force the cleanse the cleanse will not be back for this dragon fight but uh maybe going to commit to this I don't think so so they do get that flash but you know your ultimate will be back up as carer unfortunate for him now he's going to be missing those Summoners so is going to be very vulnerable to Hong in this next fight but of course the primary target is going to be Guma they really have to get towards him and try to take him out you can see second items coming through for a lot of people Scout almost has that tier fully stacked up zik has done his second item it's been a very slow paced game in the second game what we are seeing here though is that LG again identified that T1 doesn't need to go for this Dragon this is just an individual Drake for them obviously if they get it they get soul but L try to set up as much Vision as they can to sniff out a baron in case T1 do not opt into a contest at all and uh particularly with the vision that they've been able uh to set up if you take a look one Ward on the top half of the map and then these Wards here they should have a pretty good idea of where T1 is going to go as it is about 20 seconds until that possible Soul spawns umal glaive spotting out that bit of vision but they still get the information that they need is second Herald is utilized mid lane I don't it's going it should get the charge is it going to get the charge not quite the Mador in the eyes of the bull that one Faker off to the side hung now caught out arrow is going to connect but not onto a priority Target LG will they look for the re-engage no just opting to back out know that this is not their window to fight but again this is what I expected from T1 push in utilize those ultimates early try to use that to take positioning to try to get those chunks L though have a pretty good position here themselves with zika on the side Tarzan will try to retake some of this vision and L are going to try to get the Scuttle and see if they can find the better angle for the engage Scuttle down G Great Guns for a fight in terms of sustained DPS he absolutely outclasses Guma but if it just comes down to a poke battle he will not come out on top LG forcing the issue Hong doesn't have a good angle to engage at all though like look where he's playing he's almost like trying to Mark Zas but he needs to get the backline they're going to go Flash in owner Gala manages to make it out safety isolated for now looking for zos over the wall on the back line the gala forc to safety shock stacked zos can't find the angle but the shut down coming through for Baker T1 taking the fight anyway Gallow looked good but Gala did not matter T1 finding the exchange and even with Gala surviving the auto front is won by T1 they're able to break up that core unit for LNG there's not enough damage available and that's going to be so for T1 Z's got so much done there 4 T1 the 0000 atrox making all the difference as he comes over the side there gets right into both the carries from L Scout and Gala sent packing they had the run from him and I'm kind of surprised because they were aware that Seas was playing in this angle but then they just lost track of him as owner comes in and look at the angle from Zas right over the wall catches both Scout and Gala pushing them back and meaning that on the other side it's zika losing out it's Hong losing out as Kia Guma and Faker will easily win that 3v2 and the threat of this full ofal uh atrox uh together with owner ends up turning it into a 2v4 which they win even though owner ends up going down and and then as you said on the flip side zika gets taken down hung tries to help him isn't actually able to get enough done as the arrow going wide T1 Now setting up for the baron you can understand why they are so far ahead the cloud Soul their ultimates always available they could always start this just to force the TP from zika who is pushing heavily down on that bot side but T1 want to play it out a little bit more slowly not going to risk it so they're just going to have Zas go down towards bot look to answer and continue playing with pryo through mid Guma shoves mid car invades with owner it's rinse and repeat all game long Faker gets pushed top then moves down with the team T1 are just playing this out so well through multiple lanes and really limiting the options and opportunities for LNG by constantly tracking them Charon did get blue that's a d so that's that's a win take what you can get step one on the journey to winning the game not a lot for is the blue it's been brutal I was ready for this to be much closer but to be honest T1 the way that they've been counterpicking bot Lane not over playing their hand playing being patient in a lot of these fights has been fantastic and you saw in that last fight Gala has two items perfect guns and he was not super relevant solo isolated by this consistent blind pick atrox Top Lane this Champion is becoming a problem for LG and it's also with a different build than what we've seen the atro be the strongest with which I think is really funny it's similar to what we've seen with kaisa as zika tries to contest Vision leveraging the Shroud to try to contest here Gala with The Inferno ultimate can always be a threat but again T1 just taking their time and I think this build from Zas kind of represents him as a player it's risk versus reward right this is something that he is just so confident in his ability to execute on a build like this almost everyone plays gor Drinker because it's more stable it's more secure you go gor Drinker you go ster you get in the middle of the fight and at the very least you're going to take up a lot of damage this one is the 1 v9 or the all your team reports you it's like you are squishy and you've got to execute perfectly and so far he's been able to and it's T1 that has control of the river and that allows Z to just continuously push because L can't actually fren the baron here so they can't really Force out a response from the atro there and now T1 might start it up themselves and this is a choke hold on the game that T1 have establish themselves the only saving grace for LG right now is they have the maai they have the luxury of the sapplings to face check some of this vision for them but the real winner here is not t one's control around the baron it's Zas this man just eating CS eating creeps everywhere on the map becoming gigantic while T1 just stall L out cuz they know they have to be in the area and it feels like T1 based on their play based on their their fact that they haven't been starting up this bar they just want to play for Elder I think at this point you're delaying this long after you took the soul already after you already have that Advantage they just want to play around that lower damage objective that's not going to be as risky to start up the baron obviously has a lot of inherent risk against a team like this that has that hard engage so they want to continue controlling Vision limiting the options and taking only the fights when it really does favor them T1 are playing almost the style that I expected from LNG coming into this series it's slow it's deliberate it's controlled and again uh you know in game one a little bit more explosive when they had the Nila on the composition but Guma and Cara the fact that there's only one death between them on such vulnerable Champions is fantastic sign of T1 success and I think it's really interesting because you know when you look just at the scoreboard it doesn't seem as bad but this game has felt incredibly one-sided because it's been T1 dictated where all the action is it's been T1 pushing in the waves controlling the vision and it always feels like the ball is in their court so to speak which I think is really what's making it feel like it's so one-sided Arrow coming in will just miss through the goal post stolen Malai ultimate now used potentially a window of opportunity here for the side of T1 Flash in onto owner owner still making it out to safety a lot of resources committed Gwen still on the bottom side of the map Z does have TP up and available Tarzan getting chunked and LG not really able to get anything just a trade of maai ultimate that's a really big win here for T1 not having the maai available miting the baron way harder and Tarzan committed his flash you can smell the desperation a little bit there it was a great buffer from moner as soon as that flash came in he's mashing W gets that Dismount to create some extra space so no one can follow up there from Tarzan and now if it does come down to an objective flip tar not only doesn't have the ulti but he's chunked and he has no flash there's almost no way for him to approach and try to steal Saving Grace here is that they do have the Scuttle so T1 can't start up the baron without knowledge of LG do know though Faker is about to hits his death Gap is about 500 gold away and that is going to be such an immense power Spike which I don't think they'll be able to get it before the Elder but if they can stall that a little bit and play with that I think it becomes really hard for LG to win a fight I don't think that crab is going to save a lot of Grace for much longer chronic you're right there's Death Cab coming there's Elder in 30 seconds the T1 can now set up for because again they have permanent mid priority with this lethality vars LG are going to do what they can just to set up defensive Vision just to make sure that their jungle is safe already burning two Wards just to be able to walk in they're going to fight for bot Lane control to have an angle to walk into the river but T1 already total control around the objective I just love The Observers highlighting this they can't see anything they don't know where anyone is so LG have to fight through bot try to push in as a squad and hope that they can win this fight cuz if you can win this fight that is the one risk with this strategy that T1 are going for where they're playing so conservative where they don't set up the baron cuz if you lose this flip if somehow LG get that Elder the game can get turned around definitely LG pushing in fighting with the bot PR that they built for themselves need to be careful here owner is not quite going to burn the engage quite yet just baiting buying time Z Already using The Hourglass now trying to back away that's the Miss cool down consumed as well is this the window of opportunity where T1 want to start it no they're just trying to play for more cool Downs just build up these small incremental advantages also Z is looking for a back not going to get it though and we do see the Poke from Scout not Landing right now but Gala does have both his Summoners available and is very healthy sitting on free items did finish his Lord Dums just now exactly finished that ldr so he's really strong last whisper in for scout as well and L are trying to force this response through bot trying to keep Zas around and keep this opportunity for a multi-prong attack but it's T1 who looks like they want to preempt the play owner now stepping in getting forced backwards LG not quite able to secure the blue buff there owner using one of the Smite charges to get it Gala trying to force the issue forc the fight here T1 has to be careful by out grouping for the infernum ultimate owner a little bit here and Hong's looking for that angle they're going to try to pinch Z going resetting a little bit here both Sid backing we it's just a battle of poke both sides hoping to bait the other one and pressing the trigger the charm now coming through will it be enough to lock down Zas no is the answer Scout given to the atro as tribute and now gala's in trouble T1 coming alive they see the window of opportunity they see the weakness and the armor of LG and they tear it aunder there is no room left in the fight he will will take everything they want in this game too hung a last desperate effort but the tp's coming mid I mean that's going to be game they're going to throw for the end T1 put LNG in a loose lose position you have to contest for this objective Elder just too much power to give over the T1 patiently prodding find the angle in the fervor of the fans and buan will not force T1 to play over aggressive they keep their discipline they remain composed they close out cleanly versus LG in game two and bring us to match point a semi-final spot on the line what a performance from T1 thus far dominance in game one and for game two the word that comes to mind is control absolute control start to finish it never seemed like LG were the ones driving this game T1 looking so prepared so practiced coming into this series and really blowing my expectations out of the water I thought it was going to be much closer than it has looked thus far but l&g especially have had no answers for the T1 bot Lane what's remarkable is that T1 is playing the controled style that LNG had so much success with but due to these bot Lane counter picks LG doesn't get to play the game T1 consistently coming out ahead and as a result they're moving on to match point after the break but before we go let's check
