i love that if you listen to the T1 comms during the last fight, After taking down Canyon Faker calls for the team to get dragon and Keria is the one that pushes them to continue on to take down Chovy and push for the win. What a force this roster has become.

[@aikun9098]

Faker calls drake when trist still alive after keria hook her then keria say they can end mid.

[@lunyatic92]

More accurately, it's zeus who pushed the fight closely by oner silently pinning peyz (and canyon) before also calling for help. What Keria called is calling for push after he's certain he can catch chovy when faker and guma were calling for a dragon soul

[@morpymorp7149]

Forgot to mention in the Akali game that Faker gave his mid wave to Guma and went bot, in contrast to Chovy who tp'd to mid and caught his mid wave. This forced Chovy to match Faker on bot and run there, and in turn, Faker was able to tp to the void grubs fight.

[@LongNguyen-ii1zu]

You can see the t1 tempo there also. They swaped 3 lane at the same time, whoever have tp goes bot and swap adc + sup to mid or top. If geng overstay and don’t swap, they risk losing cs, having to match by using tp or lose grub prio and they did swap but late by 10 sec. Just 10 sec make a lot of different there and t1 did it perfectly and really know what they need to do.

[@notdesmondesmond]

Really shows how different both Midlaners approach winning. Chovy will always prio farming and scaling while ahead to close out games when major objective fights come around, whereas Faker will always prio Macro and skirmishes while sacrificing personal tempo. Throughout the series Chovy was always the most ahead in levels and items, and the casters and streamers all point out how fed Chovy is, and that's he's gonna make a play. But it seems like he just uses his leads to farm more and avoid fights until they're unavoidable. Domestically it works out every time, but T1 with Worlds Buff somehow just wins.

[@marcinsadowski7230]

​@@notdesmondesmondthe biggest issue I have with all community it's that this chovy strategy is statistically winning but u can't win all the time like ppl say that T1 is better cuz they win during worlds but forget that last 13 series was constantly won by geng and u want me to say that T1 didn't try to win those it's just dump take like there is a issue outside of game plan that isnt working

Nah Guma have a lot of Champions to pick. If that Xayah is open, I’m pretty sure that thei comp will just be solid.

[@dickurkel6910]

As a person who's played Pyke a decent amount, I actually called out in drafting that I loved this matchup for Keria because Maokai can pretty much never E onto Pyke. Same as the Leona matchup, except even easier to pull off.

[@notdesmondesmond]

Mindgames was really at play as well. Lehends wanted to cancel the Pyke hook before it releases on Peyz, and the moment Keria realises it he instantly lets Q cast and E back into turret. Lehends looked so int honestly during the Live broadcast, but his reasoning was sound: Surely Pyke won't expect my W, or can't finish Q into E THAT fast...

[@skrattaoppar9753]

The funniest aspect I've seen in all this is how T1 utilizes Ashe, at some point T1 is carrying red Trinkets and uses Ashe Vision so well. Wards are gold and xp and it's probably frustrating for GEN to not see any ward except control wards. T1 slowly crept up their gold and exp lead just cuz GEN is not finding wards

[@kkoromsp3674]

The ash arrow part is true but a lot of teams play with sweepers only and one blue trinket. A lot of wards come from tbe suppory item, control wards and zombie wards

[@skrattaoppar9753]

@kkoromsp3674 I think it needed a bit more context than what I said. Guma also uses the Ashe Vision Arrow even if they had control to discourage GEN pushing a bit further to not clear the control and Zombie Wards. A lotta ADC uses the Vision Arrow to see unwarded spots but at mid game you can see Guma uses it to parts where T1 are heavily warded and where GEN is wanting to clear wards but GEN couldn't make a play after being spotted leading to them not clearing T1 Control and Zombie Wards leading to T1 spending less on Control wards and frustrating GEN. This is why Lehends died a lot where T1 had Ashe. He had to push a bit further to try and find wards and gain vision but T1 kept discouraging GEN from finding vision and gaining control. I think BLG needs to ban Ashe at the Finals, Elk might pick it but I don't think he uses Ashe the way Guma does.

[@YuYuYuna_]

The gold and exp gain from wards is incredibly negligible in the grand scheme of camps, turrets, waves, etc. T1 wasn't ahead in gold and exp because GenG couldn't kill wards lmao.

[@phamnhatanh1223]

Yup, he could have jump earlier and maybe dodge the hook, but he had no guts and was panicking he he got punished for that

[@Briezar]

I believe he does have W. He used W at 33:22 in that game and landed 10+ AAs afterwards, his W would've been up by 33:32 when he started attacking Jax. For reference, a lv17 Tristana would have rank 4 W with 16s cd, just attacking 3 times with Navori already reduces the cd to ~10s. Chovy died because of his indecisiveness. He couldn't choose between fully committing to the fight (flash and burst Guma for example), fully clearing the wave so T1 can't push, or run away ASAP so he can defend. He cleared the wave when T1's abilities were down (Guma only has flash) but dropped mid-way to re-engage on Jax with E, then run away when there's a Pyke nearby and also panick-flashed.

[@marcus2259]

They were right. The meta team play nowadays is to all in flash those engage-enemy support. Enemy support dies asap = no engage = Useless enemy team no matter how op carries are. Punish utilities over simple dmg characters.

[@notdesmondesmond]

If the support is caught out while getting vision or engaged while team is zoned then yes, all pro teams will call off the fight and give objectives to avoid 4v5, but if the whole team is already there spending cds on the support can be bad. Lehends was very mismatched with his team honestly. The entire series he was heavily mispositioned during fights, also caught warding and roaming alone.

Oner looks so cracked this worlds

[@masonlazy2740]

@@sharpasacueball he is also cracked last world. always the sleeper agent

[@lunyatic92]

ikr?? Other players also do well ofc but it feels like a lot of plays they made happened because oner was backseat setting them up but not many people saw it (like Atlus only focused on casting Guma's triple kill without saying a single thing about Oner killing Leona in a 1v2). Hope he gets the FMVP he wants this year.

[@BobbyBoomBob]

I feel like only jungler main noticed that. Jankos pointed out and said Oner set up a really good position for ashe for the triple kills. He said any adc could've get that kills after that perfect set up. But sadly, there's only a few clips of praised nor noticed that 1v3 play from Oner. Reminds me of ppl praising Faker's shockwaves but forgot Wolf initiated so well that turn the game around.

[@masonlazy2740]

@@BobbyBoomBob yea, big names gets big attention

[@IceMakingMaker]

1:20 Peyz while trying to put damage into the T1's backline, he forgot that he stepped onto his own satchel and got bounced right back onto Oner, forcing him to flash right away and not be able to put more damage to the T1's backline. This allowed Guma to hit more freely and won the fight for T1

[@SilencedButNotForgotten]

Awesome analysis, thank you!

[@Lloydter1]

Not sure if 2:14 was a planned play, but that alone resulted GenG to ban sylas for game 3 and 4, which save T1 drafts

[@gostreiver8036]

Faker does usually get the credit for brilliance. But these 5 are ALL 2 time world champions now. And everyone of them has had so many flashes of brilliance and outplays that have gone without a video or a breakdown. We will be farming content off these boys for years. They are cracked and deserve all the recognition Not just the king Faker

[@andreisapaceanu6618]

Man Kin played so well in the last series. He almost singlehandedly won them that game, but his team was not able to capitalize completely off it...

[@leaguefixesyourmatches8259]

He tried to pull a kill faker/win game moment and peyz didn't get the memo

[@drow488]

In the last game, I didn’t realize how much the poppy did. Kudos to Kiin

[@milkystars666]

THANK YOU for covering that first dragon fight! I rewatched that multiple times and still missed someof these plays because of how insane each individual player is playing out of their damn mind in a SINGLE fight lasting 10 seconds. CINEMA

[@ttori_333]

ok wtf the way you explained each small details makes me more mesmerized about this series. i really love that poppy plays montage, the way kiin makes uses each abilities and spells to counter each member in t1 is such an insane moment

[@kristinaeusebio221]

That oner play vs leona is underrated. He removed two units from spacing. And latter due to health issue made it three as a bait. Having chovy and kiin vs 4

[@WumbologyPHD]

These types of videos are 10x more entertaining than actually watching it live or any co-stream. Really makes you understand why pros are actually so good.

[@justindframpton4135]

dude, THANK YOU so much for this video and explaining the plays. I'm a casual fan and cant keep up with it all but this was great that I could actually see how much goes into these plays. Well done!

[@pedrozelinski]

Good video! I just missed the Peys satchel that pulled him away from the fight in game 1 during the decisive dragon fight.

[@flyingsquirrel1486]

These recaps are so good, I actually need the slow mo plus text to see some of the ridiculous mechanics and mind games on display

[@Gashiu]

1:00 Oner's reaction speed to buffer renekton and leona in a row is crazy

[@HorusPrimarch]

bro look at some Oner gameplay and you will see that this was completely not on purpose lol it was such a random play but yall are glazing too much

[@P_stealth]

I came here looking for t1 vs geng highlights. What a nice quality.

[@HemstitchedIrony]

That dragon fight on poppy by Kiin was actually absurd, these guys are playing perfect league of legends

[@ravendesiderio788]

your video deserves more likes. keep doing it

[@christopherpena1989]

3:40 it's important to note that chovy tp'd bottom to secure bot turret while jax was already pushing. t1 noticed this and that's when this play exploded. the whole time this was happening, chovy was walking all the way from bot and barely made it to mid tier 2 turret before the play ended.

[@krusherrox]

I have a theory: @3:53 Keria and Gumayusi were standing very close to each other @3:54 Lehends moved towards the tower in attempts to flash w+ult Gumayusi and Keria if they were to stand close together again @3:57 Gumayusi and Keria moved away from each other to avoid Rell's Engage @3:59 Now Lehends is in an awkward position and got punished for his positioning error.

[@dickurkel6910]

Interesting, but I think it's an overanalysis. They're both just autoing tower and would get punished if they were on the right side of it.

[@xJol4n]

It wouldn't matter if Lehends comes from right side. If he attempts to actually Flash - W - ULT that, he would probably get either one of them or probably none at all, because they both have Flash. The same if he actually forced the combo there from left.

[@khangvuinh7348]

you've actually missed this play at 6:14 where Keria waited until the 1:29 mark when nidalee wasted his Q on blue and maokai went in to tank the blue's hits so that when he landed his hook, it'll guaranteed to hit ashe if not they can't fight back either since nidalee doesn't have Q and maokai is not in position

[@tktvr9703]

7:30 I like that in any other circumstance flashing like that when Maokai was W on you would be a bad play but by doing this he forces them to overextend, whether he lives or dies its a good trade.

[@YuYuYuna_]

0:14 Zeus didn't dodge Leona Q he buffered gragas E when he got stunned. You can see this by the "STUNNED" tag above Zeus's champion as he is E'ing. You can also confirm this by seeing Leona's aftershock get proc'd which only procs on CC.

[@calenholden7691]

The whole team played their peak game. They're top 1 all time in each role when they're in this form

[@BlondeAmericano]

T1 really went through the gauntlet after Swiss ended. GenG and BLG were the two toughest teams at the tournament and they played it so well

[@DanteCrowlley]

Those highlights are better than just montages

[@bnji1071]

That Kiin stopping pyke from ult killing Maokai was insane together with everything else Kiin did there with poppy wow.

[@galaxydragon8326]

Kiin should be called Noe, cause he is carrying those animals

[@shonen84]

Thanks for the analysis, great work

[@mmat8775]

I love the music over your vids. great choice

[@yowsky0]

If you watch Oner closely in that last fight you'll see that he hold his Q for a while. He waits for Peyz to walk forward confidently, then uses the Q throw to disguise the tail animation of his ult + slow Peyz. Peyz starts trying to dodge just a TINY bit too late and gets clipped with the very tip.

[@Nominokoni]

They all stepped up in this series and had their shining moments. This T1 roster is just unbelievable and possibly the best one ever. I was ugly ass crying after the match 💀

[@hbee3293]

Great video, would be even better if you had the Faker Yone buffering Kiin's Renek rage buffed W during all the teamfights with his Yone E re-proc

[@peetstf6654]

Thanks for this. Very helpful to really see the plays.

[@snowsmile7113]

With 'Royalty' as the bgm?? *PERFECTION*

[@jjlim3768]

Another thing to note is that Guma was probabaly half a step away from getting ulted by Skarner into a Ziggs ult combo

[@pekboy2000]

I like game 4 the most because T1 ran the reverse merchant on GenG using both Jax and Skarner.

[@abigairey9543]

that Kiin Poppy reverted the game, damn

[@Speedy-Rabbit]

T1 played very well but Gen G made some uncharacteristic mistakes game 1- the redive on Zeus is trivial and he's still 100% dead after Peyz drops aggro, but Canyon forgets about Skarner passive which does damage over time and takes 2 extra turret shots, preventing the redive and forcing him to blow flash. game 3- on the grub play, Faker has tp advantage over Chovy, but Nocturne ultimate can deny TP's. If Canyon uses R1 instantly, Faker cannot tp, T1 dont have time to react to the Kiin flank and both Keria and Oner instantly die because it's a 4v2. Canyon ulted EXTREMELY late and didnt even use R2 to commit to the fight. This grub fight decided the game, which puts game 2 entirely on Canyon. between this and some very uncommon peyz misplays, dying in final fight in game 1 and 4 with flash up, and lehends opening an all you can eat buffet, it was an easy series for T1. As an aside, Zeus almost outplaying that 1v4 dive as Maokai in game 2 was something that deserved an highlight. Extremely high level dive, both on Zeus incredible play and usage of maokai W and flash but also on Gen G's part for executing a hard dive flawlessly (which was only possible because they caught keria on rotation).

[@Blazetraxdj]

That Zeus didn't flash-E at @0:29 , my god. Those play are why they may be named Pro's.

[@keriacodm]

on 8:35 that fight is in favor of gen g and might go on game 5 if they won that fight but t1 did so so very well in counterplay, punishes the very single mistake of peyz (not knowing skarners ult is up) he got caught and the rest is over

[@hommamhamdeh2863]

[@yottanuclei]

excellent video as always

[@Pancuu007]

that guma flash at 5:30 is crazy

[@Sanguinarius9999]

Chasing a full hp and majority mana ahri and a 70% hp Jax over a wall as an adc on his own, absolute madman, and video doesn't notice it 😅

[@hubertmiszuk6908]

best series man! nevers top, cant wait till finals!

[@Channel-bh7cg]

3:15 because of the Faker's TP, this void grubs fight was already unwinnable for geng (Chovy didn't have TP) . Canyon used his ult but couldn't do All-in. Using his ult sooner than the Faker's TP, or grouping before the fight was the correct play geng could take. Free 2 kills and 6 grubs were the worst outcome.

[@YuYuYuna_]

Yeah this fight was a free win for GenG. As a T1 fan I saw Renata + Vi in baron pit hitting grubs with 2 people on both sides collapsing and I thought "fuuuuuuck they got greedy and didn't wait for their Gragas + Ashe to fully come off reset" Gragas and Ashe were roughly half way to the fight coming from base so this was a big point of weakness for them and it looked like a clear GenG fight win. My only guess for why Canyon hesitated is that he thought T1's members were closer nearby and wasn't confident the play would work but if you're going to TP your Jax in and position like this you have to commit. If they had snap engaged right as the Jax TP was finishing Renata + Vi both die and GenG denies 6 grubs.

[@ephemispriest8069]

As a Leona main Oner scared me with that dragon flash.

[@luchopipe]

oh, this deep analysis really shows things that live one can't notice, like oner being very crucial in almost all team fights and faker ultra ahead macro map.
