Liv Sanbak, You Have to Catch 'Complete T1' to See PO
Today, an important match will be held that will determine the outline of the 2023 LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea) Summer Split Playoffs team.
T1 will face off against Liv Sandbox, which is currently in 6th place, but desperately needs a 바카라사이트 victory to secure the final round of the playoffs.
Liv Sanbak is currently in 6th place with 5 wins and 11 losses (loss difference -11).
In particular, on the 3rd, DRX defeated OK Savings Bank Brion with a set score of 2 to 0 and followed closely with 5 wins and 12 losses (difference in goal -13).
Considering that DRX's last opponent in the regular season is the Guangdong Freecs, who are currently on a 9-game losing streak,
Liv Sanbak needs to win T1 cleanly and win a set win against KT in order to advance to the playoffs stably.
As KT is currently ranked first in the league with 14 consecutive wins, one win against T1 seems to be a realistic goal for Liv Sanbak.
However, as Faker (Lee Sang-hyeok) of T1 made a surprise comeback after a long break of 31 days through a match against Guangdong on the 2nd, Liv Sanbak's worries deepened.
Without Faker, T1 fell into a swamp of sluggishness with the worst record of 1 win and 7 losses. Losing to DRX and OK Brion, it was considered a 'team worth trying' from the eastern team's point of view.
However, T1, with Faker's return, showed quite stable performance even though the opponent was Guangdong.
In particular, with Faker returning, it is positive that existing players such as Zeus (Choi Woo-je), Owner (Moon Hyeon-jun), Kumayushi (Lee Min-hyung), and Keria (Ryu Min-seok) have recovered their performance.
It's a game that T1 can't give up easily. T1 secured championship points by finishing runner-up in the last 2023 LCK spring season,
But it is necessary to advance to the finals this summer season in order to confirm advancement to the League of Legends World Championship (Lold Cup).
If you get eliminated early in the playoffs, there will be a variable that you have to go to the selection match.
As the match against Liv Sanbak is the last match before the playoffs, T1 is expected to show its best performance.
In the confrontation between the two teams, the players to note are Teddy (Jin-Sung Park) and Kumayushi, the long-distance dealers of each team.
Teddy is a 'relief pitcher' that Liv Sanbak suddenly recruited ahead of this summer season.
That's why it is necessary to play an active part in the game to advance to the playoffs.
Teddy and Kumayushi are also friends who ate together in T1 in the past.
The two players, who had been registered together on the first-team roster since 2020, competed for the starting position in 2021, such as alternately appearing.
As they know each other well, a fierce match is expected this time too.
The champions to pay attention to are Kaisa and Jerry.
Kai'Sa is still a major marksman pick even in patch 13.14, when Static's dagger was nerfed.
He's been picked 5 times and banned 3 times, and has a 100% ban pick rate on patch 13.14.
Kumayushi used Kai'Sa 11 times this season, but the win rate is low at 36%.
Teddy used it 5 times and had a high win rate of 80%.
Jerry is also picked 4 times and banned 2 times in patch 13.14, showing a high ban/pick rate of 75%.
Kumayushi has a 75% win rate by using Jerry 4 times, and a 25% win rate by using Teddy 4 times.
