T1 are unable to translate their early recreation leads right into a win in opposition to one other main area group as RNG rout them in a forwards and backwards affair.
T1 are wanting mighty overrated as they fall to RNG in a sloppy, however extraordinarily thrilling forwards and backwards recreation right here in Day 8. It’s humorous how this recreation was presupposed to be the a lot anticipated match between the de facto frontrunners for the MSI title this yr – if they hadn’t gotten their butts handed to them by G2 yesterday…
T1, just like their G2 recreation, wrestled early management with very good skirmishing that put RNG on the backfoot, primarily due to Zeus and Faker. Gumayusi’s fortunate steals on Heralds and Dragons had been additionally a key proponent in them preserving themselves related all through the sport.
Nevertheless, the LPL champions aren’t any strangers in relation to ol’ fistfight, and RNG delivered within the later phases, rallying behind their franchise participant GALA’s knowledgeable positioning to outmaneuver T1 within the latter phases. If it weren’t for Caps being on a complete tear this tournament, GALA would simply be my frontrunner for MSI MVP with how good he has been enjoying all all through. He takes up after his predecessor in Uzi fairly properly; the RNG system of enjoying round their megastar ADC is one thing that old fashioned League followers are fairly accustomed to, and it is vitally heartwarming to see the GALA fill the seemingly insurmountable footwear of Uzi.
Opposite to GALA’s brilliance, T1’s Gumayusi has simply been essentially the most overrated participant of this match to date… The prodigal Korean bot laner had the entire world hyping him up as the most recent and best expertise to tumble out of the Korean server. And whereas his expertise is unquestionable, his overly aggressive play and stupidly cocky positioning has made him appear to be a idiot in additional video games than not, and he has simply been the weakest level of T1 of their losses to G2 and now RNG. He must work out a method to reign in his overconfidence and respect his opponents extra, else T1 may discover themselves out on the semifinals – once they had been coming in because the heavy favorites to win the entire thing…
