Gumayusi recaps the Worlds match, and T1 prepares BP well
The League of Legends 2023 World Championship has ended, and the new world champion T1 is also moving fast, during the recent transfer period, the first to announce the renewal of the starting lineup, the coaching staff also renewed the contract of 2 people, except for Sky to serve in the military. Therefore, the players of T1 have also been very idle recently, and have opened live broadcasts to chat with fans, after all, the content of the S14 preseason will not be until early January 2024, and it is not meaningful to spend a lot of time practicing the current version.
On the evening of November 27th, Gumayusi reviewed the game against the LPL team in the World Finals in the live broadcast.
First up is the match against BLG. He thinks that the BP of the World Championship is very simple, the prince is very strong and can take it first, and if the Tsar and Clockwork are released, they will each take one, and T1 will do a very comfortable BP in this World Championship. BLG likes that Kai'Sa will take it first, so T1 has prepared a Senatamu combo that can fight Kai'Sa well, and Xun's signature Leopard Girl is also expected.
In the first game, BLG's lineup was actually not suitable for the first-level invasion, but the first-level group of the T1 lineup was stronger. Senna and Tamu played a kite effect, and T1 started very profitable. As for the LPL team's choice of a double AD lineup later, he said that it may be that T1 and WBG played a training match, and then got some inspiration, and the understanding that the teams came up with after practicing with each other. Since BLG couldn't find a good opportunity to open a group, Senna's pulling and team fighting abilities were very strong, so she easily won the first game.
In the second game, T1 guessed that BLG would take Kasumi first, after all, everyone thought that Kasumi had a high priority at that time, and he was also good at Kasumi. T1 deliberately released Kasumi, while BLG banned the policewoman, which Gumayusi thinks was the wrong decision because he hadn't practiced Kasumi for a long time. Jinx is a good way to fight Kasumi, and this is also the main role of T1 winning all the games in the spring last year, and they are confident that they will come up with the Jinx Tam combination.
In that game, T1's upper mid lane was targeted, but the bottom lane had a big gap in the rebound, so to win the victory, Gumayusi was very confident in his Jinx, especially the small dragon team battle got the finishing head. Although Jinx had a wave of mistakes in the middle of the position, Faker prevented BLG from getting the big dragon, and when Jinx three-piece set had flash, it would be difficult for BLG to win the team fight.
Then came the match against LNG. In the first game, T1 guessed that Kai'Sa would be released, which is GALA's good hero, and they originally wanted to use Senatamu to fight, but LNG chose a robot to fight against Tamu, so Gumayusi took out Nila with a backhand. It was very easy for Nila to fight the robot, so the line was very smooth, and he advanced to the sixth level to control the little dragon. In T1's game against LNG, Gumayusi believes that the main reason is that the hero selected in the bottom lane has the right to line, and Uenakano also plays well, and the bottom lane is safe to develop and control the dragon, and he successfully carries the game.
Nila's outfit in this game is also a bit special, he usually plays the swift blade, but because LNG chose the Tsar, he temporarily replaced it with a tempest, which is the first time he has used Nira to play a tempest. In the key team battle, Nila ER Tempest drove to the back row, and then the golden body dodged the Tsar's ultimate, and the team got the dragon soul to win the team battle.
In the second game, T1 brought out the combination of Varus and Ash, which they used to use in this year's spring. T1 played some pressing in the early stages of the bottom lane, but it took a lot of time to play the vanguard, allowing GALA to make up for a wave of development and get plating, resulting in the double AD combination not earning anything in the laning period. However, T1 still used the advantage of the bottom lane to control the second and third dragons, and since T1 had lost the big dragon team battle before, this time the world was very cautious about the big dragon and would not easily fight the big dragon.
In the final Ancient Dragon team battle, Varus's Poke played an effect, Zeus's Sword Demon also played well, the wild area seduced LNG to take the initiative to open a group, Varus counterattacked after the ultimate move, and T1 won the victory after winning the team battle.
In the third game, Gumayusi continued to choose Varus, and Faker, who was very familiar with Tsar Clockwork, got Tsar to suppress Clockwork in this game. LNG opted to open the gap from the bottom lane, but T1's combination of the bottom lane worked better and kept Keria alive. And GALA tried to exchange blood, and Gumayusi chose to fight decisively, because if he retreated, he might be killed by Tsukio's ultimate. He found that he had a lot of damage when he fought back, and he killed GALA after a wave, so T1 took control of the dragon again.
The key to this game was Faker's timely support, when the LNG continued to cross the road, the Gumayusi greedy soldiers did not retreat in time, Faker chose to support the lower lane, so Varus immediately delayed the time and successfully killed the crocodile. This also bought Zeus time to develop, and he managed to get a tower. Since T1's upper middle is well developed, there is no suspense in this game.
Next up is the replay against JDG, who also found the semi-finals difficult to play as JDG are the favourites to win the title, but they are confident in themselves. JDG chose the red side in the first game, but regardless of which side JDG chose, T1 was confident. The BP in the first game was aimed at Ban, and finally released Kaisha and Kasumi, and JDG chose to snatch Kasumi. But T1 immediately chose Ember and Bud, who they thought were a strong combination and would be good against Kasumi. As for JDG's selection of bull heads, Gumayusi thought that JDG had no better choice at that time, especially since they were not in the front row and could only play tanks as an assistant.
JDG chose to target the middle lane and failed to get a kill, while T1 had lane control in the bottom lane, which allowed Bard to keep roaming, and JDG was very difficult to play in this game. Ember is a hero that Gumayusi loves to play, and he's played a lot of Bard, so he's very familiar with the combination. He also mentions that during the Dragons team battle, Ruler made a wave of operational mistakes and entered Bud's portal. As for the second game, Gumayusi thought it was a BP problem, and the combination of the policewoman and Ash was not very good, and there was no way to play an advantage in the lower lane.
In the third game, T1 chose to grab skateboarding shoes because Ruler's skateboarding shoes played well. Although T1 got skateboarding shoes and Renata, the lineup of this lineup was actually not easy to play, especially in the T1 Division 1 defense failed. However, JDG had a wave of mistakes to cross the tower, allowing Keria to get two heads, and after this wave, T1 was very comfortable in the lower lane, and also controlled the two dragons. However, the whole situation is still very tense, JDG was ahead of the economy in the middle of the game, but Oner's strong opening made the game situation change.
T1 kills Varus and gets the Dragon, but gets on the top when chasing the Crocodile, causing JDG to regain the initiative. Missing's Ash ultimate, Gumayusi, also played cautiously, because he didn't bring purification in this game, and he would die if he was hit by the big hit, so the second tower Nabo dodged Ash's ultimate with a flash when he had no vision. Faker's Tsar's ultimate move was very good, predicting that Ruler flashed and successfully opened the group, and JDG's attention was on the sword demon on the flank, and T1 completed the comeback after playing the group annihilation.
In the fourth game, T1 continued to take Varus, and because they guessed that JDG would choose Zelilulu, they prepared Bard to deal with it, and the audience complained about why the champion skin didn't choose Varus. Although Ruler's Zeli is developing well, he thinks that Zeli is already a garbage hero after being weakened, and Varus's teamfight damage will be higher, so there was a situation where he won Zeli 1v2, and at that time, he ignored the sword demon without Q and concentrated fire to kill Zeri first. As for Kanavi being killed by mistake, it was entirely because the damage of Faker's three-piece set was too high, and T1 won the teamfight after playing a difference in numbers.
I have to say that Gumayusi was very confident when reviewing the game, not only did he stinkily think that he carried the game, but also could see that T1's pre-game preparation was indeed better, and the BP thinking of the LPL team was expected by them. T1 has been getting the line power hero in the lower lane, and has more map resources, and Gumayusi has the ability to develop alone, allowing Keria to travel to support. T1's teamfight coordination was also better, he didn't make any mistakes, and his ability to seize opportunities was even better, so he won the game.
