BLG vs. T1

In the last two seasons, BLG and T1 have played each other a lot in international competitions. From last year's MSI to this year's Oil Cup, there were a total of 3 Bo5 and 1 Bo3, and the final record was that BLG won all of them in Bo5, while T1 won Bo3 in the Swiss round. To put it simply, the MSI mid-season version is BLG's outright victory, while the finals version is T1's crushing game. Different versions naturally have different impacts on the team, at least in the past few years, it has been proven that T1 and the version are not very compatible in the mid-season every year, and when it comes to the finals at the end of the year, it is called a fish in water.

At this year's Esports World Cup held in Saudi Arabia, BLG and T1 will stage a showdown as the teams that made their debut in the opening game, and there is no double defeat, and a Bo5 is a life-or-death match. Since the version is somewhere between the mid-season and the grand final, it's hard to judge who is more advantageous. However, judging from the changes in 14.13, it is clear that there is indeed a development towards the positive side of T1, especially the Blind Monk, Clockwork, Lisandro and the Captain's enhancements, which are all heroes that T1 is very good at.

The more you get to the end of the year, the more you are the T1 of the son of the version

Many people may not believe it, but T1's style of play has not changed much in recent years, and it is highly dependent on the system they are good at and familiar with. The players' hero pool is indeed very deep, but what really helped them win the World Finals was not the wild core, not Zeli, not the tank tool man on the list, obviously they also have their own advantage range. Take the summer game as an example, everyone is playing AP wild core, but T1 is okay except for the abuse of the leopard girl, and what kind of death song is in the other strong duels, Lilia and Rock Sparrow are average in the wild area. In order to adapt to the AP jungler, Faker's cannons and planes are not as helpful to the team as Tsar and Clockwork.

The good news is that the AP jungler has been clearly weakened on the Oil Cup, and the top laner tank has also been cut again, which is good for the functional jungler, the warrior top laner, and the traditional mage mid lane. This is undoubtedly the time for T1 again, and at this time of year, it is almost time to rely on the Finals version and start to make efforts.

The new king of LPL without tigers in the mountains

BLG has become the strongest team in the LPL, which seems to be irrefutable. After Knight joined, they won the spring tournament as they wished, and although they eventually lost to GenG in the MSI finals, after all, the opponent is also the only favorite to win the championship this year. It's just that the performance of BLG in the summer competition is not ideal, and it has not yet entered the finals version cycle, and some players have begun to adapt poorly in advance. Especially after being upset by LGD, many people are pessimistic about their participation in the Oil Cup. If they hadn't won all of their Bo5 matches against T1 in the last 3 MSIs, I'm afraid they would have lost T1 by a lot.

T1 and BLG opener

BLG has an advantage in the past, and the source of fans' confidence is nothing more than Bo5 wins. And T1 obviously has an advantage in the version, and the heroes that are strengthened and weakened are all needed for T1 to be good at the system. Knight, who is not good at his own AD, is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in the face of the traditional mage's enhanced version of Faker. This debut will determine whether or not they can advance to the finals Bo5, and the two teams that have been underestimated recently can also be regarded as opponents. If everything goes according to the idea of T1 playing the finals, T1 has a higher probability of winning.
