T1 Dai Thang Gen.g but to reveal a huge weakness
Returning to LCK, meeting the “cavalry” opponent, Gen.G and T1 continued to test Smash, no need to say, the community all judged that this would be a difficult match for T1. However, in this confrontation, T1 won the choking victory. Worth mentioning, the gameplay that T1 applies is the gameplay that Gen.G has used very well: the whole team only serves a single gunner.
T1 put all possible resources for Smash.
Ignoring T1 almost did not perform this game before having Gumayusi in the starting line -up, this way of playing T1 requires all the remaining 4 members to support the maximum for Smash. Even when Doran held Rumble, he was still just a source of side damage, spreading the standard rocket to complete the task.
In the 3 -match game against Gen.G, the BLV also illuminated the moment Keria canceled the animation effect of hand attacks to avoid robbery of Smash's defeated life. In addition, in all 3 games, Keria did not move the island continuously but almost just standing next to his gunner.
Even when Doran holds Rumble, she still has to give resources to Smash.
This gameplay is of course suitable for Doran or Faker – the players are too familiar with the role of make play, as the background. But with Oner and Keria, this gameplay also limits the performance of the two players.
In game 3, a very suitable combo for T1 is Viego – Galio also replaced with Wukong – Galio so that Smash does not have to divide resources with ONER. And Keria, he only moved around Smash and almost no longer see any of the islands that occupy the support of support in 2002.
But it can cause the play of Keria and Oner to be narrowed compared to before.
T1 will probably continue to apply this game in the future
If in the near future, T1 still uses Smash, this gameplay will probably still be applied. Because, the generals that Smash handed down all need a lot of resources (Ezreal, Kai'sa, Zeri). The gunner itself has not shown the ability to play independently. Because even when Keria supported dedicated, Smash still lost to Ruler in all 3 games.
When T1 still won with Smash, this gameplay will probably still be applied.
Therefore, the current gameplay can be an incredible change of T1. However, this could be a “double -edged sword”. As Gen.G itself became a “victim” in the international tournaments they had attended with the play to put all the resources for the gunner as an example.
