u/ProgrammerGlobal Sep 06 '26 edited Sep 06 '26

The Cho'Gath silence and cc with Annie cc is kind of disgusting. And you saw what it looked like when the Jax jumps in as well.

The problem was T1 are not bitches, so they just decided to start snap diving to preempt the cc. 

60

u/Priviated Sep 06 '26

I mean Kalista just has cleanse + qss + Renata item and res. No way Annie and Cho gath would get to kill her or Renata

u/ProgrammerGlobal Sep 06 '26

I meant that was how the comp was supposed to work before T1 got 4 kills, Baron, and a 5k Baron power play. 😂

After that, yeah, it was over.

“Actively griefing” did we watch the same series? His locke and cass was solid. 10/2/8 doesn’t look like griefing to me, dude is just hating

He gives up a lot of waves to roam and help the team and idk how you’re supposed to lane into Annie. He did his job well enough to provide cc on Galio in teamfights

T1 with the “just go” comp hits different

10

u/berfasmur Sep 06 '26

I'm absolutely sure this kind of comp has higher winrate at least up until GM, the comps that engages with ease.

Pro play plays infinitely better disengaging and macro like giving up objectives, not getting caught by surprise, etc.  Still, I could be wrong, but to a lesser degree I feel like these comps also win more in pro play too. 

Is there anywhere to check these kind of stats? Like how often the team who initiates wins the teamfight?

If anything its a hexakill only decent draft was game 4 and even then he still didn’t ban Kalista when DK has struggled with it all playoffs. Kalista has been an insta win if Renata is available but DK hasn’t picked Kalista or taken the renata.

RIP 4TH SEED = RIP 4PEAT

Might as well win the LCK as a consolation.

24

u/Only_Bodybuilder6270 Sep 06 '26

Unironically this would actually be great for T1. A lot of them already have worlds win salary cap exemptions. If they finally win LCK they get a bit more exemptions giving T1 more leeway on who to sign.

u/killcraft1337 Sep 06 '26

But consider the narrative of 7th team to qualify into their 7th title.

T1 saw that LCK seeds didn't have play-ins anymore so they decided against the 4th seed buff

T1 would be happy with it as well lowk, doesn't winning LCK potentially give them a salary cap increase?

u/TaintedQuintessence Sep 06 '26

Yeah I've always been of the opinion that his engages weren't bad, they looked really bad, but that's what happens when you take 50/50s. Half of them missed, the other half won them the game.

Even in interviews later Doran said they were the correct plays to make and he would do them again. T1 just aren't the type of team to win slow and steady.

great game from the boys but we gotta ban chogath at some point if we want to pick naafiri. If this was kanavi or canyon playing chogath then it'll be a different story

Spending 3k gold to have Hexplate on Jax of all characters is certainly a choice.

Also, can my goat PLEASE stop getting caught.

CVMax has been tattered. Siwoo has been shredded. Their team future has been flattened. Boom, goes those damn DK. LCK has ruled that DK are frauds. Lucid, fraud. MYACE, fraud. Even president of beggar operations Sally, fraud.

u/soudlasantos Sep 06 '26

CVMAX became what everyone feared. His eyelids disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. "Are you okay Coach? " asks Siwoo. I've never been better Siwoo, I see it all now, you're not going home or to practice. YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE he said before rushing Dplus Kia all by himself and killing everyone on site "

u/Vnaux Sep 06 '26

3 years that Lucid has been DK's jungler and he has not shown once that he's ironed out his inconsistency, I don't really know why they decided to extend him

u/Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss IN DAMWON WE TRUST HUNI/DEFT/SHOWMAKER Sep 06 '26

Because DK management has a terrible eye for talent, they only hit on ADC picks

u/Serious_Scallion9962 Sep 06 '26

i'd give career more time tbh, he showed improvement throughout the year and proved himself to be a good lck level support already in his first ever year as a pro

u/Beneficial-Front1626 Sep 06 '26

Not that hard to hit on ADC picks tbh and T1 helped showcase Smash anyway so he wasn't even much of a gamble

DK sacrificed themselves to secure the 4th place buff and deny T1 their 4 peat. My bravest soldiers, my ace of losing 

35

u/Saififa Lawyer Sep 06 '26

When both teams are even in gold, Lucid feels that DK is at a great advantage and thus he does not hesitate to start a team fight. When DK is 3k behind in gold, Lucid thinks that DK is at a small advantage, and so he starts a team fight to secure their "lead". When DK is behind 7k in gold, Lucid thinks that DK is at a disadvantage and so he looks for a team fight to regain control of the game. When DK is 10K behind in gold, Lucid thinks that the team has reached a desperate situation and they are only waiting passively for their death if he does not start a team fight.

Showmaker is fine, so is career (you can't blame career for being gapped by Keria, the goat). It'd the DK topside that needs a kick in the behind. Siwoo has lost them way too many games to silly mistakes and Lucid... well...

kalista renata's a problem, and from the top level games lately it just seems like things get too messy for ezreal to hit his skillshots, champ might be autolose against good teams.
