T1

Team

  • Great early game (+1k average GD@15, only once behind by more than -2000 G@15)
    • Heavily reliant on their early game to win
  • Very fast team at closing games out
  • Looks to be playing fast and loose

Players

Canna

  • #1 damage share of the team, explained by the snowball into quick closing of games
  • Not many kills or deaths @ 15 but a W I D E GD@15, highest in the team
    • Dies twice as much early in their losses
  • Above average jungle proximity, especially in their losses
    • Tells me that T1 realizes they’re reliant on him to succeed

Oner

  • Despite the early-game tendencies of the team, relatively low early kills and assists
  • Much higher support proximity in wins
    • This kinda tells me they’re not really in sync if they don’t always have this proximity

Faker

  • Accepted being a roleplayer and giving TOP/BOT the opportunity to carry
  • Very average JGL/SUP proximity, not getting particularly high attention from his team
  • He’s the one that gets behind in losses
    • Maybe he’d benefit from a bit more support in losses

Bot lane

  • A great GD@15 botlane that finds few early kills
  • Opposite of Canna, they get more help from the jungler in wins
  • BOT/SUPP proximity is normal around 60%

Conclusion

  • I think T1 is reliant on Canna snowballing alone, with only 1/2 ganks from Oner
  • Then, Oner can use his pressure bot, where Keria and Gumayusi create a huge lead that lets Canna push his 1v1 lead
  • Faker gets left out to dry when he has a bad start, and the team crumbles because of it as they play for sides

T1 vs DWG

  • This game is gonna be a 2v2 top before 10 minutes every game
  • Canna should hold his own against Khan and might even have a stronger early-game with Oner
  • T1 should be better at winning through bot if it stays a pure 2v2
  • Mid laners role will be to support their sides

The two teams are evenly matched, but if T1 plays it properly I think they take in 3/2 or 3/1.

T1 needs to:

  • Make sure Canna gets ahead early and requires attention from Canyon
  • Give Faker proper support from Oner and Keria
  • Use their advantage 2v2 bot to capitalize on it once Canyon is pulled top
