How EXACTLY did DRX Upset T1? | DRX vs T1 League Of Legends Analysis

I hope you all enjoy my analysis of the 2022 worlds finals. For context I am a challenger player from OCE. I played at worlds myself in 2018 but never made it past play-ins (if only I could be as good as these guys).
I hit rank 2 on OCE server this season (2023) - www.op.gg/summ... (check the tier graph, I let this account decay because of my fulltime job taking up too much time)
Let me know what you guys think of the video and if you like this style!

So in the final game, the analysis that blows my mind is that Kingen was so good at finding that flank from behind the base that T1 actually thought he TP'd there which made them make the call to tp to backdoor and end the game but when they saw Aatrox's tp, they knew they fucked up.

[@jankozak2984]

Yep, Kingen is a finals MVP for many reasons, and this is one of them. Trophy-winning play by him.

[@takumifujiwara300]

T1 fans are saying non sense sht as Aatrox ban would win them the game but Kingen was patient even with the Camille game he was so patient. he was also baiting arrows just to buffer it with camille e.

I always hated Elder Drake, I see it as an lazy coin flip way to turn games around. Riot has been making the games faster for some seasons now (because server cost money and the bilions they make are not to keep them running while you plebs play), every play has more impact and strong early/mid game champions can destroy games. To the point that junglers can leap ahead everyone else and carry the game if they managed 3 or 4 ganks in the first 12 mins of the game. Great video, youtube took a while to recommend it but I'm a fan now.

Problem nowadays what T1 has is they play too much on towards Faker Yes, he is god like player but many teams already have changed how they go towards T1 So their Bot and Top lane are more likely to fail more often If you notice in this series, DRX played more towards top and bot lane T1 will have this problem unless they change how they come up their game plan They need get off Faker's popularity and focus more and top and bot when meta demands it more so they need junglers who are more active on dmg side other than supportive side what is common T1 strategy for years, T1's bot lane always have been good but their jungle doesnt really play towards top or bot side so this will effect how they perform in the future

[@ConquestM]

@@bbryan__515 But misplaying and drafting are apart of being a better team or not. During this one specific time DRX was the better team. And I'd say it's more impressive they won after getting so many objectives stolen, imagine if so many steals didn't happen it would've been way more one sided. The players might not be doing amazingly now, but for 2022 they won worlds therefore they were the best in 2022.

[@ajazz_lol]

Really good Analysis, but Sivir wasn't that bad as you mentioned in the first draft, she's really good as a supportive Adc with heavy bruiser comps as we could see for example in Fnatic vs T1 games, where T1 was playing Sivir, Sejuani, Sylas and completely overrun Fnatic. Also Deft didn't have much of a choice, most meta ADC's were banned or they would struggle in Varus, Renata matchup.

[@GalacticBacon]

Also Sivir is a self sufficient ADC. Makes it easier for BeryL to be able roam.

[@coachudysof]

I definitely did see why they picked Sivir, I was just trying to make the point that now their comp is very one dimensional and will probably lose. Sivir is okay, I agree with that for sure

[@jiafu6784]

couple points to note: Players hear white noises and so they don't hear the crowd, plus the fact that there is a delay between what player sees in game vs what the audience sees on the big screen. Deft suggested the Bard pick because besides the immobile varus and viktor, DRX botlane knows they can't outpush varus karma, and so the bard pick is basically saying they are not going to try to lane and have Bard roam around instead. With regard to Beryl's playstyle, he likes to use himself as bait to try to bait out the opposing side's skills. There is a reason he's stepping up forward and miraculously surviving with single digit health. It is a very heavy high risk high reward kind of playstyle. As seen in 31:28, Beryl had no reason to be within vision range of T1, but because he was there, he got both Viktor's ultimate and flash as Faker wanted to secure the kill. Another point is at 31:58, the smite fight was not 50/50 because Beryl Bard ulted Oner to force him to step up or use his flash, if Oner flashes away, he wont be within smite range, if he steps up (which he did), he gets killed right away and DRX secures elder while he is in GA animation Lastly, T1 decided to go with the TP play because the two main carries (Viktor and Varus) both have no ult no flash, and they are playing against Caitlin, Azir, and Bard, it is basically impossible for them to walk up this late into the game as both Azir and Caitlin have the necessary items to damage them from a longer reach. While another factor to consider is that T1 lost vision of Kingen's Aatrox earilier in the fight, only for Zeus to discover him at 31:44 which may lead them into thinking Aatrox had TP'ed to get behind him. The thought of Kingen having no teleport plus the elder fight become very difficult with both Viktor and Varus flashes and ult down could have been the reasons as to why T1 chose to backdoor.

for the crowd i think they can hear it through other players mics. At least for valorant thats how it is

@@KhoaNguyen-ty9tw clearly you didn't read my sentence stating "It is a very heavy high risk high reward kind of playstyle."

Yes he walks up far, but look at what abilities and summoner spells he got out of Aatrox and Viktor.

@@jiafu6784 hes just lucky, lets be real. no way anyone can calculate that they will live on 1 hp and also accounting for the enemy missplaying (i.e oner missing his ult on a tunneled target) it's not worth the trade off making the game 4v5 during elder spawn for viktor flash and ult. i believe it was just positioning mistakes, i really doubt people bait like this

You talked about crowd influence on the game. I attended not the finals but the DRX quarters against EDG and there was definitely a delay between the players playing the game on their monitor and what was shown on the big screen, I would guess somewhere around 15 seconds. I suppose there are some extremely rare scenarios where crowd cheering could affect the live game the players are playing 15 seconds in the future of the screen. When you attend a live event youll notice when the game ends when you look at the players they are already out of their chairs beginning to hug even though on big screen they are still piloting their champs to finish off the nexus. Thats shows theres def a delay even live

I don't think it was possible for Oner to win the 50-50. He has to either Flash out (and lose Elder) or stay and fight, and get bursted down.
