Description
dGon and Wolf break down the end of T1's Worlds run, the drafts that cost them the BLG series, and why the top lane market is about to decide the LCK offseason. Plus Gen.G reaching a final at last and why this Worlds felt smaller than the ones before it.
Wolf argues T1 were finally conquered by strategy rather than beaten by bad luck, with BLG punishing the top side of the map game after game while T1 refused to adjust their drafting. dGon, who hosted from LoL Park and from the desk in Allen, Texas, adds the view from the venue: the Gumayusi alcove outplay, the Seraphine and Skarner moment that nearly saved game 4, and Core JJ holding back tears in a losers interview. From there the pair work through Hanwha Life's exit, whether the Swiss format deserves the blame, and a genuinely thin Korean top lane free agent pool that leaves T1, Hanwha Life and DRX chasing the same few names. They finish on Gen.G getting past a semifinal for the first time with Chovy, Canyon thriving in the lethality meta, and a run of criticism about teasers, desk time and the compressed Worlds schedule.
Topics covered:
⦁ T1's Worlds magic finally ran out against BLG
⦁ Was the game 1 draft the worst of the tournament?
⦁ Oner and Keria tried to play hero and lost the map
⦁ Zeus back to T1 is the obvious move, and the expensive one
⦁ Could an LPL star ever import into the LCK?
⦁ Hanwha Life experimented at the wrong moment
⦁ Swiss is not there to rank teams, it is there to find a champion
⦁ The Korean top lane free agent list is shockingly short
⦁ KT locking down PerfecT early looks smarter every week
⦁ Canyon, not Chovy, decides whether Gen.G win
⦁ Dplus KIA's quarterfinal was a real choke
⦁ Why this Worlds did not feel like Worlds
