Now that the first stage of the League of Legends World Championship is over, it\u2019s time for the qualified teams to put it all on the line. The top 8 teams will battle in a single elimination bracket to determine the 2022 World Champions: T1, JDG, DRX, Gen.G, Edward Gaming, DWG KIA, Rogue and Royal Never Give Up have formed one of the most stacked brackets in League history.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll be going over the 2nd quarterfinals encounter, which is T1 vs RNG. Two of the most successful League of Legends teams in the world. They have faced off against each other plenty of times, which means that this matchup is rich in history.<\/p>\n
This year not only has T1 managed to survive the group of death, but they were able to do so while finishing first in Group A at Worlds. Compared to the team we saw towards the end of the Summer Split, the impression is that the summer version of T1 has disappeared and we are seeing glimpses of the version of the team that dominated the spring.<\/p>\n
Much of this credit goes to Gumayusi<\/a> and Keria, who seem to have found their rhythm and are being much more consistent compared to the past. In particular, Gumayusi has earned the most resources out of all the players on the team, with a 26% gold share so far.<\/p>\n That said, the real game changer in T1 is Zeus. The young Korean top laner has been incredible so far, and he is the true team carry: a 28.2% damage rate puts him above all others among the top laners at Worlds. What\u2019s even more interesting is that he\u2019s the only one who hasn\u2019t played any weak-side tanks. Although it should be more difficult to play this type of champion due to the smaller margin for error, Zeus was able to blow away all the other laners in Group A.<\/p>\n The strengths of T1 are very exciting because not many other teams play similarly. By having Zeus as a carry, Faker has been relegated to more of a supporting role, which means he just makes sure he doesn\u2019t screw up and plays around his team accordingly. The same can be said for Oner, who has already played Sejuani 3 times in the group stage.<\/p>\n
