DRX will not be able to overthrow the LCK leaders. With this eighteenth victory in a row, Facker and his acolytes assert themselves as the logical favorites of the playoffs. Let’s take a look back at this last meeting and what it will take in the future to break this record.
not just a game
Although T1 won 2-0, the game could have ended differently, especially in the second game. IAs the LCK leaders slowly accrued more resources than their rivals, the first was definitely T1’s signing at a relatively slow PvP pace. The excellent macro management allowed them to enjoy almost 2,000 gold while still killing their opponents. DRX attempted to break the lock but to no avail. If they managed to kill him, the T1s would never let them save any targets as they advanced elsewhere on the map. The Teamfights didn’t change anything, and logically LCK lost third/fourth (before the third game, fourth at the end). The MVP of this game was Zeus Jace.
The second set was a little more chaotic, with 12 kills in 10 minutes of play, which is relatively unusual in South Korea. Despite the DRX’s willingness to put on a match and throw a little madness into it, the T1s once again showed off their combat and macro prowess.წ. If their opponents were killed, two of them would die in the back, while the T1s would destroy several plates along the way to bolster their advantage. The dragons all went down, and at the end of the early game, Zeus and his teammates took down 4 towers and 2 Dragons, only one tower against the DRX. Despite several desperate attempts to get back into the account, the game once again completely escaped DRX. T1 perfectly closes the perfect necklineAs the playoffs approach, the question arises more and more: who can defeat T1 more than who will win. The MVP of this last game was awarded to Keria for her mastery of the Nautilus.
Beat an impossible record?
By not losing the match, the T1s seem to have set a record which will be tough. But we can’t say that everything is perfect because Gumaius’ teammates lost at least 7 rounds during the season. Only a team that achieves a perfect split in 6 sets allowed (or less) can break this record. Likewise, given the Canyon’s advantage over other players on the field, the overall MVP is likely to avoid them. The other side of the coin is to have such a homogeneous team, the MVPs are well dispersed but ultimately no player is in good shape to win this trophy.
It will therefore be very difficult to equal or exceed the T1 record, but not impossible. A perfect split without sacrificing rounds can then be overcome by a team achieving the same performance but with more kills, fewer kills, or simply shorter games. It will be some time before we see the team dominate the competition in New Morning Country.
