At 0:00 Beijing time on July 8, 2024, the League of Legends project of the Saudi E-sports World Cup will usher in the ultimate showdown between TES and T1, the strongest all-Chinese class, on this day. It is worth mentioning that although judging from the overall performance of the Saudi Esports World Cup, TES's two consecutive clean sheets against opponents seem to be somewhat unstoppable, while the two games won by T1 were not particularly smooth. But that doesn't mean TES will have a better chance of winning against T1. After all, as the most successful club and player in League of Legends history, T1 and Faker should not be underestimated in any game or at any time. So, what will be the highlights of this day's games? Let's find out!
Interestingly, while TES met T1 in the final this time, the last time the two teams met was back in the 2020 Mid-Season Cup Challenge. At that time, TES beat T1 with an aggregate score of 1-0. After this game, TES and T1 have undergone significant personnel adjustments. In other words, the previous hand-to-hand record does not have much reference value. However, judging from the overall performance of the two teams in the Saudi Esports World Cup, TES is clearly the better side. After all, whether it is a clean sheet GEN or a clean sheet G2, especially the GEN team, it has always been a mountain that T1 cannot overcome this season. Therefore, in such a situation, TES still has a certain psychological advantage.
And judging from the counterpoint, 369 will face Zeus. Judging from the previous head-to-head record, it seems that Zeus is superior. But if analyzed from hard power, there is no essential gap between 369 and Zeus. Therefore, if 369 can continue its previous form, it will not be difficult to face Zeus. The matchup between Xiaotian and Oner in the jungler position can be said to be quite crucial. The reason why T1 was able to defeat BLG was that Oner in the jungler position was well prepared when facing Xun. Therefore, in this game, the duel between Xiaotian and Oner is believed to greatly affect the direction of the game.
According to the professional analysis given by the professional esports prediction platform, T1 has obtained an index of 2.34 and TES has obtained an index of 1.60. In terms of index, TES still has a slight advantage.
Regarding the matchup in the middle lane, Creme, the mid-laner of TES in the past two days, still gave us a very big surprise. He defeated Chovy and Caps in a row. In particular, defeating Chovy has given him the title of "Light of China" in the middle laner. Because it is important to know that in the LCK game, it is difficult for Faker to take advantage of Chovy. This seems to mean that Cream is currently capable of restraining Faker. In the end, it's a two-man duel. From the two days of competition, it can be seen that the two-man play of both teams is quite stable. Especially on the TES side, Meiko's excellent command ability has greatly improved TES's operations. As we all know, T1's operational capabilities are very powerful. In such a situation, Meiko's command is even more important.
So, in the end, TES was able to beat T1 and win the championship with an all-out victory? Or will T1 and Faker add new accolades? Let's wait and see!
