Match Prediction: T1 - Hanwha Life Esports | LoL
2021 World Championship - Knockout StageThe Worlds group stage has come to an end and now we have a complete picture of the teams' form before our eyes, so let's carry out a detailed analysis based on statistics.
First of all, it should be said that LCK showed themselves extremely well: all 4 teams from the region were able not only to advance to the group stage, but also to participate in the playoffs, but in the semifinals their number will no longer be the same, if only because of this match.
The replacement of Teddy with Gumayusi for T1 turned out to be the most positive thing for the entire season, the main thing is that they do not start experimenting again in the World Cup playoffs, as it was in the final of the summer split against DAMWON KIA. In general, in my opinion, the botlane of Gumayusi and Keria, if not the strongest in the world, is definitely in the top 3. The weak point in the lineup is still Canna. If you look at the dry statistics, you will notice that he is inferior to many already eliminated players in many parameters, but he dies the least of all, which cannot but rejoice. Faker is not the main star of the team, no matter how sad it is, nevertheless, he still holds the level and is one of the best mid-laners of our time, despite his long playing experience. T1 is not a leader in statistics, and this is noticeable, even if we look only at their game, and not at the numbers, nevertheless, in the second half of the season, with the arrival of a new coach, they showed a big increase in their understanding of the game and the pool of champions.
Hanwha Life Esports is a very strange team: they did not manage to get through from the first place in the Play-In, as they were prevented by LNG Esports, but they had no problems solving all their difficulties in the second round of the group stage and they became the happy owners of the second place in their group, losing only to Royal Never Give Up. Chovy does not yet prove the title of "World's best mid lane", but it should be borne in mind that for the most part he reveals himself in the decisive games, which we could see at the regional finals and in the second half of the LCK summer split. Instead, Morgan and Willer are currently shining. I am pleasantly surprised by the play of these two talents from Korea, but I constantly see small mistakes in their moves that spoil the whole picture. Perhaps this is due to the general problem of decision-making in the team, but these are already questions for the coaching staff. One of the strengths of HLE is the champion pool: almost all of the players on the roster hold leading positions in this indicator.
T1 and HLE have met each other many times this season and despite the patch and meta change, they know common moments about each other. T1, in my opinion at the moment, is stronger, at least because of its stability, as well as the absence of errors in decision-making. Of course, their personal skill can fail them at the most important moment, but all other factors indicate the victory of T1.
Average bet on T1 and small handicap bet -1.5 from them.
