《league of legends》the swiss round of the 2024 global finals will usher in the first round on october 3. the game that everyone is most concerned about is definitely t1 versus tes. on one side is the defending champion who almost fell in the lck qualifying round, and on the other side is the lpl second seed who relied on points to advance to the world championship. judging from the overall performance of the summer split, both sides did not play well, especially after the saudi world cup. although t1 defeated tes to win the championship, nosuke's status declined rapidly, and faker was unable to adapt to the ad mid lane version. tes has the embarrassing situation of being unable to suppress the opponent in the three lanes, and in the mid-term operation, it cannot compete with the opponent.

if t1 met tes in the knockout stage of the global finals, i would definitely pessimistically think that the result of the game would be 8-2, and t1 would be the more advantageous side. because the world championship version has weakened the influence of ad mid laner and ap wild core, and the risk of changing lanes has also increased, the role of rift herald is still very important. these changes can largely solve the pain points of t1 summer split, allowing faker and oner goes back to the version they are good at. the hero choices of zeus and gumayusi are also more abundant, and t1 is expected to return to the competitive state of the spring split. the only downside to this meta for them is that azir is really weak.

on the contrary, the world championship version is not so friendly to tes. before joining tes, creme was a very partial player. although he worked hard to learn traditional mage in the spring competition, his overall performance was quite satisfactory. he relied heavily on tian to drive the rhythm in the middle, and even needed meiko to help solve the problem. wire. he played well in creme and karma in the spring split, but it is not easy to play in this version. although creme can also play akali and leblanc, his career winning rate is not high. in order to adapt to the hero pool in the middle lane, tes may allow 369 to choose some heroes that are uncomfortable. the top lane will be more likely to become a breakthrough, and may even affect the jungle.

t1 defeated tes in the saudi cup mainly due to their operational capabilities. creme did not suppress faker in the middle, allowing him to cooperate with oner to constantly roam and do things. 369 itself has pressure to fight zeus, which makes it even more difficult. since t1 has lane rights in the middle and bottom lanes, tes can only be forced to make a very loss-making resource exchange. tes tried to slow down the pace of the game in the summer split and relied on individual abilities to fight in mid- and late-game team battles. however, their style of play lost a lot of resources in the early stage, causing the opponent to push the rhythm of towers or put pressure on dragon souls too early. i hope tes can improve these glaring issues in the offseason.

but i also mentioned above that it is difficult for tes to beat t1 in the knockout stage. however, the odds of winning this game are very high, very close to 5-5. the first is that tes has rested for more than a month. they have enough time to adjust themselves and find the best way of playing in the world championship version. tes must have realized the team's shortcomings after losing in the lpl playoffs. if they continue to if these problems cannot be improved, there is no need to have high expectations for their performance. secondly, t1 is a slow team. in the past, they often lost several games in the group stage. they were very slow in sorting out their bp priorities.

t1 only finished the lck qualifiers on september 14th, and then took a few days off to receive various business orders. fan meetings, filming and interviews were almost non-stop. at the lck expedition conference on september 26, they confirmed that the team had not started training or even studied the world championship version. the team only left for europe on september 27. as of the early morning of september 30, t1 has not even started the positioning matches for the european server super account, because riot has changed the rules this year, and new accounts must play 10 matches before they can participate in the qualifying matches. t1 can almost only refer to the data from the playoffs and play training games with g2.

because t1 borrowed g2's base for practice this time, and g2 started preparing for the world championship very early. the designer's changes for this world championship are not large. after playing the 14.17 and 14.18 versions, we can find that only the priorities of some heroes have changed, and the overall play style is still the same as the playoff version. moreover, the lane-changing tactic still exists. this is the most restrained play style against t1. it is no exaggeration to say that t1 was able to defeat kt and get tickets to the world championship entirely because zeus suppressed kt's rookie top laner in the top lane. but changing lanes can significantly reduce zeus's laning ability and limit his development.

considering 369's poor performance against zeus in the saudi cup, tes can consider using a line-changing tactic to slow down zeus' formation, allowing jackeylove to develop better, and letting meiko go to the middle to help creme. t1 was unable to learn to deal with lane switching tactics throughout the summer split. this was one of their serious shortcomings. although rambo can appear after being weakened, the current version of tes can not help but be considered. after all, rambo can be targeted through frequent ganks. zeus' gnar must be respected, and yongen can be given to creme to replace the ban.

zeus's kennen and jax don't play very well, and he's not quite sure about the timing of entering the field. he's usually used as a harvesting point for t1. on the contrary, 369 can choose these two heroes. tes likes to target the bottom lane in the summer split. tian helped jackeylove gain an advantage to snowball, and then invaded the jungle to suppress the opponent's jungler. but this style of play is based on having line rights in the middle and lower sections. therefore, tes still needs to get strong heroes in the lane. this version of the warrior jungle is starting to pick up, which is a good thing for tian, ​​and oner performed poorly in the qualifying rounds, and the extent of his recovery is unknown.
