Holy fck was the JDG peel for Ruler beyond insane. Never seen such synergy, casters so right when they called it a 'hive mind'. | ||

lpl definitely seem to come out with better drafts in international tournaments though. at least in the case for all of t1's recent international bo5s, they handicap themselves all the time with drafts that leave them on the back foot. | ||

Faker busted on the scene in S3 and just won everyone's hearts over. He was very dominant. Ruler busted on the scene S5 I want to say. So they're 2 season apart. I don't know how long Faker will keep on playing to be honest. I hope he finds a way to another World's title to cement him a bit more, but I don't know if he'll be able to. Meanwhile, Ruler is only picking up more steam. While JDG his Ruler as a center piece, his game has been flawless for around a year now, in LCK and LPL. Ruler's gameplay now is like watching Faker season 3. It's that extraordinary to me. Edit: sorry if this sounds kind of all over the place, don't really feel like going point by point and typing a wall of text at the moment. | ||

This means that faker being still probably the best supportive midlaner in the world needs a greedy carry as his teammate. Which Zeus is, until the competition gets elite. | ||

its happened in almost every game they lost this tournament, they simply dont have the better late game draft. its probably intentional on their part because they intend on snowballing but its also sheer arrogance. multiple bo5 performances now where they draft inferior scaling comps because of their confidence that they can get the early game lead they need, only to be met with teams that dont succumb to their pressure as well as the lower level teams. in all 4 games against blg t1 had the worse late game bot duo in a meta which is heavily adc centric. its t1's obsession with early game priority that is their biggest strength and weakness. no flexibility during a match to switch up their draft style when its clearly not working out well for them is the cherry on top. i think this part of the blame should fall onto bengi though. he should take a page out of kkoma's book who was generally more brave and adaptable. | ||

But it might be more than Zeus at this point. Losing consecutive finals will start messing with your head. @evil Why do you think T1 has this bias towards early game comps? Guma can play Jinx/Aphelios/Xayah fine, Zeus is also a decent Gwen/Fiora player, so I don't see why they couldn't skew more lategame. | ||

in some games they could just give up prio and accept that they wont be in control (have priority) and play good scaling teamfight comps and theyd probably win anyway because the team is obviously insanely good. but theyve repeatedly shown now that theyd rather handicap themselves draft wise for the opportunity to have prio. | ||
