The European community has been sleeping peacefully since the start of the competition. MSI not impressed with audiences and wins G2 Esports It was almost anecdotal against EG and ORDER. But yesterday, the samurai achieved something big with two prestigious victories. T1 And RNG. Some will even speak of exploits.
In both games, the G2 players performed brilliantly individually and collectively, and we can’t get enough compliments. Translations. legacy support Carmine Corp. It is valuable and plays the role of a detonator perfectly. But something else caught our attention in the G2 vs T1 match… In the draft, the Koreans really went for Twisted Fate First Pick (and Blind Pick). Of course, we have infinite respect. dishonestLeague of Legends Goat and his trainer POLE. But with our low-level soloQ and the scarcity of expertise, we find that this choice is indeed very controversial, if not debatable.
Twisted Fate is a champion known for its strengths and weaknesses.
TF Are you a famous champion? League of Legends Which does not extend until yesterday. Released in 2009, its distinctive gameplay has remained virtually unchanged. His signature ultimatum allows him to better “teleport” around the map while giving him an overview of what’s going on. The character is unique and no other champion offers us similar skills. It is acclaimed by professionals, especially by middle-class inhabitants with a common profile. This allows you to easily walk early in the game, support and pave sideways in the snow. Some formations also use it to play aggressively in the overgrown jungles.
However, it should be noted that the individual champion is quite weak in the laning phase. If we remove the hemispherical ultimatum, his mobility is very limited. Second, it doesn’t provide combat stats (damage, shield, crowd control) and usually the champion has no pressure to kill the opponent in 1v1. He has a little kick that you have to respect his combination. Gold Card / Wild Card. But if you don’t go to full AP, it’s rarely enough to kill… rapid fireball And endless ice cream Provide useful but minor damage. Also, keep in mind that he doesn’t even offer a gun if his passivity earns him some income. The Twisted Fate tape step can get tricky quickly. This is all the more true in the face of a counter-choice. And there are many of them: we can bring in killers (Zedi, LeBlanc, Ahri) or champions like Yasuo or Physi who can resist a gold card. Facker can be sure that the first election roll was taken by fate, immediately challenged Hats Who Locked the Notorious Sword? We can add that other G2 champions have had the opportunity to revoke this famous gold card, which is TF’s main asset: Callista’s ultimatum, Ornie’s immunity or even the binding juniper from Diana.
Is it a bad strategy to get Twisted Fate so early in the draft?
Beyond the mechanics and champion interactions, getting Twisted Fate auditions this early is strategically very difficult. Twisted Fate is basically the utility champion today and deals very little damage. We also know that his contribution to the teamfight was ultimately very limited. The main interest is to divide the thrust when driving side lanes.
The concern is that T1, which has shown its intentions since the start of the draft, is opening a big door for G2 Esports. The samurai, rightly, decided to play with the champions in a team-oriented team. Tank (Orn) and soul regeneration In time (Yasuo and Kalista). It was therefore enough to wait 25 minutes to win. We rarely see such a clear project at MSI and we can only welcome it. Dylan Falco For jobs. If Twisted Fate had been removed later and the Koreans had been able to hide their game longer, the Europeans could have faced less teamfights and a late-game oriented team. But showing the hand so quickly was an expectation of an adequate response. Faker and his gang must have been a little disrespectful and learned a lesson. Finally, keep in mind that Zeus chose Kenen’s deck to compensate for Twisted Fate’s weakness in teamfights. The idea could have been interesting, but the champions don’t adapt well… Before Packer wanted to split the side thrust, Zeus was constantly trying to force teamfights with wing stance or front engagement. The Koreans had an ass between two chairs, while G2 had a simple but effective game plan! Going forward, it’s hard to imagine a team blinding TF in the first rotation of the draft.
