The show begins with reactions to the semi-final matches and an in-depth breakdown of the high-level series played between T1 and JDG, ending the latter team's attempt at completing the first Golden Road in League of Legends history. Thorin and Monte preview the finals and discuss how Weibo might hope to defeat the T1 juggernaut in a meta the Korean team has defined, but the opportunity appears slim. They chat about the variety of roster moves rumored for LCS and LEC teams, including G2's former members regrouping under Heretics' banner.

Questioning Fakers champion pool is sacrilege

@aaawa2074 8 ай бұрын

They really think Faker is forced to only play 3 champs instead of just deciding to play the best champs. He is supposed to play weaker champs just to prove that he has a big champ pool. It’s not like he has 80 unique champs played in his career

Before the match, the two X-factors I had coming into the series was Knight and Keria that were the players who could ultimately decide the fate of the series. Turned out Knight was completely outperformed by Faker and he had no real impact in this series while Keria's Bard was huge when it came to T1's victories. Also had the prediction after T1 lost to Gen G in spring finals that T1 wasn't gonna win anything until Worlds this year. I've been rooting for T1 since 2021 worlds and boy was this a journey. T1's consistency is surely proving that yes you can indeed rely on talent from your own scouting system to breed new players and make them the stars they are today.

Call me next time a support literally invents a metagame that is so dominant in his region to the point that Riot has to nerf an entire suite of champions out of the support role. Look at the start of the tournament what adcs people thought were good, only Keria forced the bot lane meta to change. The Xayah Kaisa prio is totally gone. Because of him, T1 walked into their last two games with a huge advantage. Even if all players had played equal, the meta shift that Keria caused benefits his team uniquely more than anyone else, because he was the best at it, and they have the most practice on it. But yeah, every pro does this it's not special at all. zzzz @@prestoiidx

@poetrollem326 if you think the meta shift is because of his play then you're balls deep on t1 cock, people have been playing all kinds of picks bot for years, he is just a player enabled by his team, anybody with eyes can tell he isn't anything special, if someone were to be impressed by him, that'd just suggest they themselves aren't good and aren't capable of it, even regular shit becomes impressive in the eyes of a bronzie.

I think that could work to determine one version of ascertaining the "best" team but it would break from the difficulty of worlds. It's a one shot best in the meta/ all metas in the moment tournament. More about surprise and nerves and the " it takes a whole year to get here" feeling and it may be their last. Reminds me of the final stages of the world cup. Much harder to win but not a guarantee that it's the absolute "best" team that comes from a whole season of play and chances. Different kind of best. However, it can overlap with seasonal success, msi success etc. but as JDG showed us, that's extremely hard to pull off.

3:16:45 A short side-note on those ARAM changes. They proof that Riot is willing to engage with the concept on a surface level but not seriously because they are actually just horrible. So you have champions that deal 90% damage. Then you have champions that takes 90% damage. That is obviously insane because it results in an interaction where one champion only deals 81% damage to another. Same is true for 110% damage dealt VS 110% damage taken, resulting in 121% damage taken. And there are champions that have both of these interactions going. Or worse. In addition there is a debuff that reduces damage taken past a certain range by up to 30%. So including that a champion like Ziggs deals as low as 57% damage with his Q to someone like Zeri. All while taking 132% from her.

its absolutely hilarious how all the western casters are crying that the 2ADC bottom-heavy snowballing meta falling into T1’s lap is the reason they’re suddenly winning, when in fact the exact opposite happened this game. The weaknesses of adc support were exposed in games 2-3, and JDG actually had a much better bottom lining phase in all of the games, while T1 was the team winning out in the 4v4s and 5v5s. T1 beat JDG at their greatest strength (late teamfighting), and these salty-ass casters have the nerve to whine about T1 being lucky because of the meta 😂😂

I don’t know how faker could be in contention. He was the reason they were behind in some of those games where he made big plays. And really, catching Ruler on Azir was the only “big play” that he made. The rest were just him taking advantage of great plays by the rest of the team, in particular Keria and Oner. Oner played fantastic. Faker was invisible during the early game. Knight was more effective on the map, his team just failed the mid/late game:

I think double elim is great, but there needs to be a benefit of going through winner's bracket. Not something as extreme as a runback like in FGC, but something. If a team wins all the way through winner's bracket and the loser's bracket team just peels through losers and comes back for a 2nd try, I think it's rather unfair.

@aaawa2074 8 ай бұрын

100 % agree and I’ve been saying this for years FPX 2021 got robbed 2 LPL trophies because of that. They were clearly the better team but one team could just run the lower bracket and have a 2nd chance. Same thing happened this spring for T1, they were clearly better than GEN. And proved it at MSI. If the winners bracket team doesn’t get a run back. They should make it a bo7 and give a free win to the upper team. So the winners bracket team has to win 3 games and the losers bracket team has to win 4. It would only add 1 game at worst. I think the players can handle playing 6 games.

I think Zeus is a hard lock to stay on T1, even when Faker was out he was the star on the team and he's been looking absolutely insane recently, while also remembering that he has now reached back to back world finals in his second full year of pro play. Oner is the most likely to be out imo, has looked really good at worlds but looked the most lost without Faker. I think in terms of raw skill, T1 would rather Keria, but from my western perspective the fanfare surrounding Guma is something T1 would value, and Guma over a 5 year period is probably only second to Peyz in the LCK. Also on the MVP note, I think I would have to give it to Zeus if they win. He's just been thrown down the gauntlet of Bin, Zika, 369, and TheShy. Bin and 369 were the universally accepted 1st and 2nd best laners in the world and he gapped both of them, and also gapped Zika who has looked EXTREMELY good in the LPL. The fact that T1 has not had to deal with any of these top laners taking over the game like they do against everyone else, including each other, has made their run much easier.

@davidyang5187 8 ай бұрын

Somehow Peyz is better than Guma after only 1 year and drastically underperforming at Worlds? If you meant Ruler, yes. Peyz looked terrible with Aphelios for some reason with bad weapon timing which lost them key fights against BLG. I don't disagree with Zeus but its really hard to pick MVP just because how well everyone performed on T1 at this moment. Faker would likely get it though based on his popularity and saving a few games that they likely would have lost as long as he keeps performing.

@squidca2455 8 ай бұрын
