Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
The S14 World Finals staged a tragedy in yesterday's knockout round, when the second seed TES in the LPL region was swept by the opponent with a score of 3-0 against the fourth seed T1 in the LCK, and finally reached the quarterfinals.
The game in this round of the game is full of ugliness, and a large number of viewers in the LPL chose to turn off the live broadcast in advance because they couldn't stand it.
There is a lot worth saying about this game, first of all, it is recognized as the first person in LOL, Faker, who once again continued the undefeated record in the knockout round against the LPL team in the S competition, TES, the top laner 369 encountered Faker for three consecutive years, and was eliminated, and the last two times 369 could also advance to the semi-finals, and this year 369 did not even enter the semi-finals.
Then in the second game, T1 scored 15-0 clean sheets, which was the first clean sheet match in this year's S14 World Championship so far.
It is also the first time in the history of the S tournament that there has been a clean sheet in the quarterfinals, which shows how big the gap between the two teams is.
After the game, Zeus also bluntly said in the interview that he didn't expect to be able to sweep TES 3-0, I thought it would be a more difficult battle, but I didn't expect to win so quickly, and the follow-up T1 team voice was also made public, and in the team voice of the second game, Keria made it clear in the command that he wanted to play a clean sheet.
TES suffered a merciless humiliation from T1 in the second game, and the humiliation continued in the third game, and T1, who learned TES's true strength, directly selected the auxiliary Pike, and his playing style was no longer rigorous.
In the first game, T1 played the most rigorous, and the whole game can be said to be done without leakage, of course, T1 is not without flaws, but the TES team's playing style is too passive, and it has lost the correct judgment of the game situation under the huge pressure of T1.
First of all, in terms of lineup selection, TES will be unable to break the game due to the lack of team selection, which will be held back by T1's various transfer operations, and secondly, it will play too steadily at the player level.
In the second game, T1 obviously relaxed a lot and established a great advantage, but T1 chose a special style of play similar to boiling frogs in warm water, gaining an advantage but not rushing to expand the advantage, but instead giving TES some resources, not forcing TES to a dead end, so that TES has a feeling that he can continue to maintain the situation and is not particularly nervous.
But in fact, T1 used this TES psychology to grasp TES, and then completed the humiliation of TES in the third game, and T1 in the third game basically completely let go of himself, and at this time, the TES mentality has completely collapsed, and T1 can easily defeat such TES.
This year's script reminds the audience of T1's game of sweeping LNG last year, when the LPL had already advanced to the semi-finals because three teams had already advanced, and the audience had an illusion that this LNG lost to T1, mainly because LNG played too poorly, not how well T1 played, but the later games proved the strength of T1, which is difficult for other LPL teams to contend with.
And this year, T1 played a similar game again, and in the case of the LCK Summer League's performance deviation, it still achieved the goal of full awakening at the Worlds, and the overall operation of the team and the state of the players were excellent.
Personally, I think that this T1 team that defeated TES this year still gives people an impenetrable feeling, and I don't know what level the real strength of T1 is now.
For the LPL, the best news is that the next round of T1 will face a civil war in the LCK, and the game against GEN is expected to be very exciting, and the two teams should show their talents and come up with a variety of systems and tactics to play, and then it will be up to such a T1 to complete the revenge on GEN.
And no matter who advances to the finals on the LCK side in the end, it will definitely be a tough battle for the LPL, and I hope WBG and BLG can be fully prepared.
