T1 completed their classic winning pattern. The ability to spread it through the canyon, starting with the bottom venture, was outstanding. Min-seok “Keria” Ryu’s Lux helped the team speed up the snowball with accurate skill shots.
The match started with Nongshim putting Kang-su, who took out LeBlanc with lethal speed, on top. Apart from that, the two teams met for the first time on the lower side and competed for strength, exchanging kills. T1 had the upper hand in the bottom battle and pressed the opponent hard. Nongshim counterattacked once from the bottom, but T1 widened the gap further by taking additional gains from the middle and bottom.
Up front, T1 was rolling snowballs down the canyon with accurate skill shots from ‘Keria’ Lux. As Lux pinned the opponent down, T1’s allies jumped in and delivered the final blow. Top LeBlanc, the conversion card that brought out Nongshim, failed to pressure Kennen from ‘Zeus’ and on the contrary stopped killing. Even in the midst of a disadvantage, Nongshim tried to catch opponents who had fallen alone in groups, and achieved the desired results to some extent.
T1 also did not allow the opponent to chase. When Nongshim tried to hunt the dragon, it attacked from all sides and drove it away. T1 got the buff Baron while Lux from ‘Keria’ pushed Sejuani back on his own. Nongshim, who allowed an extra goal, did not have the strength to stop T1 from charging. In the end, T1 won the first set easily.
