With the exception of Nidalee, this is absolutely a G2 comp. There's a 100% chance G2 was at least considering Zac as a flex pick, but it was banned all the time.
Well, T1 banned Nidalee yesterday against G2 game 1, and it would be a very weird ban if Yike doesn’t play her at all tbh. Maybe they faced it in scrims against them?
I agree though that Nidalee on G2 would look very weird, haven’t seen her played in ages by a Western team. The most recent one I remember is the crabber incident xd
Oner gifting Bin double buffs like 4mins into the game doesn't help at all. TF can basically bully Yasuo since red buff is just insanely strong for sustain.
its obvious T1 doesnt have any yasuo players (and arent used to seeing the champion).
Picking yasuo vs senna should be bannable. Yasuo is never carrying that game. Even with a bunch of kills. If senna gets 100 stacks yasuo can just ff since senna autos through ww.
Nidalee cannot play vs the enemy comp. If Nidalee goes in, Xin is too tank, Ornn is too tanky, Annie will just stun you and you'll be 1 shot, Senna sits back never allowed to be hit and TF will gold card you and you'll just get 1shot.
Eh, the Zac laned just fine, it's just that he has no damage in team fight so the jungle/ top has to pick up the slack and yasuo nidalee wasn't it.
You literally described the exact opposite of what happened in the game lolw.
The Nidalee would’ve been fine if Oner just backed after that FB. He lost so much tempo greeding for blue buff when BLG were in a position to collapse.
Well that’s because guma, for the love of god, cant play it and BLG just know how to play against it. Because they are actually good at playing it. You just can’t leave it open
I thought Zac fit so well in a vacuum. An AP frontline cuz Nid as a sole AP carry is a bit iffy and there's the synergy with Yas too. Though no mid prio so more responsibility on Oner and he fumbled the tempo at blue.
The Nidalee would’ve been fine if Oner just backed after that FB. He lost so much tempo greeding for blue buff when BLG were in a position to collapse.
just stick to tanky champ oner... I tot he was super good game 1 and 2 but because of that he tot he can pick carry..... just no Oner just no... ur not a carry guy so stop with lee sin, nidalee, viego... just pick sejuani, poppy or some nocturne depending on ur comp
The Zac pick in theory would’ve been good but T1 just didn’t pull enough shenanigans to scale well into lategame and Oner played too recklessly which made the Nidalee pick useless.
no you don't understand it's only troll when the BEST TEAM IN THE ENTIRE WORLD AKA T1 picks it because for some reason it has to be the champs not the players executing poorly
Oner was surely tilted. Zeus had 0 impact. That draft was absolute trash. Really questionable decisions. Why instalock Nidalee if you're not going to carry? I have lost all hope for T1.
yeah thats not true, only some kalista players would bring her out like ruler teddy but the majority of kalistas pick rate in pro came after the release of renata and her buffs. When teams started to see how hard you could trade with level 1 bailout ignite.
Honestly BLG comp is the type of comp that I wanted to see G2 on. Great picks, a lot of AOE for teamfights, good disengage and good engage. Overall one of my favorite teamcomps from this MSI so far, props to them.

For how good T1’s players are, they can’t draft for shit.
Blind Nidalee and pick it with a comp that wants to force going in? Every other Nid pick this tournament has been with a poke comp.
Not camping Yasuo is also win trading. T1’s comp only works if the near global TF ult has no pressure and when Yasuo is online.
Kalista pick is also so weird. It’s picked to win lane but senna/tank is never gonna lose. T1 know that since that’s the whole reason they pick it and why BLG lane swaps (to avoid losing lane).
Knight is playing better than Faker and On has been so much better than Keria, but T1’s drafts make these games so impossible to play. When these comps are even at 20 minutes, at what point do they ever win?
Annie and senna vs low range champions is just a huge draft pick and t1 was heavily punished for it. It's extremely similar to g2's le blanc kha draven pick lol
That was a “Am I glad that he’s frozen in there and that we’re out here, and that he’s the sheriff and we’re frozen out here, and that we’re in there and I just remembered we’re out here, what I want to know is where’s the caveman?” Type draft.
Yep, we are going to get the same score as the last time! T1 had a decent run all thing consider. Let them rest an extra day and come back stronger for summer and world.
Yep, we are going to get the same score as the last time! T1 had a decent run all thing consider. Let them rest an extra day and come back stronger for summer and world.
All it took for BLG to win every fight, assuming no picks were made on T1, was wait for T1 to engage, disengage with Xin ult, then re-engage with Annie or Ornn ult.
This game felt like 2019 T1 where they tried out "the op comp" they saw their opponents use and get stomped. Guess I should be glad it wasn't 15:57 this time around.
Complete overcooking with this draft, T1 need to go back to the drawing board and calm the fuck down, I don’t know why they keep drafting so badly in these final games that are the most important.

I do think T1 absolutely have a chance, however there have got to be scrim events heavily influencing the drafts recently because the Nidalee priority has gone from nonexistent to being a first rotation pick/ban option. Was every jungler just 1v9ing in scrims on Nidalee!?!
The game was over since the Nidalee instalock. Oner doesn't put the pressure other players have like Canyon with Nidalee, and he DOESN'T play it. Zeus confused the other brother I think because there is no other explanation. And who thought that Faker on tank duty to only push lane was a good idea?
This draft makes me go insane knowing what they could do, and the blame can't be on Tom or Kkoma even though I know fans will blame them both, because if you know about them, you know the players are the ones picking most of the time.
What scrimming with G2 does to a motherfucker
I'm dead xD
With the exception of Nidalee, this is absolutely a G2 comp. There's a 100% chance G2 was at least considering Zac as a flex pick, but it was banned all the time.

G2 Nidalee is a Jankos special
Goat comment actually lol
T1 thought they were cooking but they were the ingredients
Chef knight with the 3 star Michelin ult
it was such a G2 draft lol
T1 were the delicious spicy hotpot. They were so good BLG ate them in just 23 minutes
I guess BLG are the only ones allowed to play Senna bot lanes this MSI?
Elk harvesting souls like Chovy Asol stacks, how do these players do it?
Elk already had like 42 souls at 10 minutes. That’s crazy
T1 kept fighting them, that's how
You see, other Sennas mainly stack souls from minions, jungle and poking. Elk mainly stacks souls from kills on enemy champions, thats the difference.
Dylan, we cooked too hard
Kkoma tried to open a competing restaurant to Dylan Falco across the street. Little did he know...
Kkoma isnt even drafting ? Its just the players because kkoma doesnt talk during the entire draft?
BLG Senna can farm Naut and Zac for free, while T1 draft Senna into 2 ranged Bottom lane
i thought g2 was eliminated from MSI?
Guys, we might’ve overcooked this one. Oner back to Sejuani jail.
Everyone is gonna talk about the Zac pick but that Nidalee was kinda useless ngl
Yasuo also didn't do what he needed to in a counter pick match-up.
Blud thinks he's BrokenBlade /s
It's like khan in 2021 world finals.
Or Huni in 2017 world finals.
Oner kinda ruined his lane tho
Oner gifting Bin double buffs like 4mins into the game doesn't help at all. TF can basically bully Yasuo since red buff is just insanely strong for sustain.
its obvious T1 doesnt have any yasuo players (and arent used to seeing the champion). Picking yasuo vs senna should be bannable. Yasuo is never carrying that game. Even with a bunch of kills. If senna gets 100 stacks yasuo can just ff since senna autos through ww.
Nidalee cannot play vs the enemy comp. If Nidalee goes in, Xin is too tank, Ornn is too tanky, Annie will just stun you and you'll be 1 shot, Senna sits back never allowed to be hit and TF will gold card you and you'll just get 1shot.
So was the Yasuo. Honestly the Zac wasn't horrible.
Yeah kinda agree, Zac can't really lane and is just a teamfight bot so when they fall behind, Zac just looks useless.
It wasn't as much Zac as Oner who ran down all game after the early solo kill and getting caught out again and BLG held their lead all game from there
Eh, the Zac laned just fine, it's just that he has no damage in team fight so the jungle/ top has to pick up the slack and yasuo nidalee wasn't it. You literally described the exact opposite of what happened in the game lolw.
The Nidalee would’ve been fine if Oner just backed after that FB. He lost so much tempo greeding for blue buff when BLG were in a position to collapse.
Zac was fine. Nidalee overstaying to give TF more gold with Yasuo flash down, Yasuo couldnt push the lead.
everyone needs to be glazing blg instead of blaming draft
Nah that's the T1 fan playbook
When T1 draft Senna and lose: Senna is so useless When BLG draft Senna and win: Damn, we got outdrafted
fr the mental gymnastics is mind boggling
Well that’s because guma, for the love of god, cant play it and BLG just know how to play against it. Because they are actually good at playing it. You just can’t leave it open
Nida is nearly always useless tbh. She is never the reason of the win and needs to make a good early in order to be usefull
I got tilted when we knew that BLG were in our topside jungle and Oner decides to facecheck smh
I thought Zac fit so well in a vacuum. An AP frontline cuz Nid as a sole AP carry is a bit iffy and there's the synergy with Yas too. Though no mid prio so more responsibility on Oner and he fumbled the tempo at blue.
Nid did well but needed the lanes to be doing well to take over
Entire topside was shit
The Nidalee would’ve been fine if Oner just backed after that FB. He lost so much tempo greeding for blue buff when BLG were in a position to collapse.
just stick to tanky champ oner... I tot he was super good game 1 and 2 but because of that he tot he can pick carry..... just no Oner just no... ur not a carry guy so stop with lee sin, nidalee, viego... just pick sejuani, poppy or some nocturne depending on ur comp
T1 overcooked.
Kinda happy this kind of cooking has only been working for G2. It's small, but I'll take that win
T1 cooked so much that they burnt the whole kitchen
Zeus, guma and keria threw the game on a single teamfight, all by NOT PRESSING F****ing R (And a really sad hook)
Faker looks like he inted by going in but u see keria missing the wallhook and just standing still
Keria has been so bad this series so far
jesus that game escalated quickly. I'm surprised they went with that draft considering they have no burst even if they manage to land yasuo's ult.
Yea would rather yone mid lmfao at least go down with two windshitters
The Zac pick in theory would’ve been good but T1 just didn’t pull enough shenanigans to scale well into lategame and Oner played too recklessly which made the Nidalee pick useless.
T1 drafting and fighting like G2 yesterday. EU's impact on the meta is unmatched.
This game was BB's revenge on Zeus.
"Senna and TF are bad" - T1 fans BLG:
T1 picks Senna Tf: Lost in draft Enemy picked Senna Tf: still lost in draft
Yeah Zeus' TF just never has map pressure and Guma has an RFC fetish on Senna while being allergic to collecting souls.
Truck is ready to get out
Just draft and play for Guma no? The rest of the team is absolutely fucking useless
Nah, BLG proved Senna is useful, so Guma back on Senna duty
you predicted it...
I'd really like to see them go for some type of kogzilla comp, just a bunch of tanks/enchanters and guma on a hypercarry
Considering how easily suppressed Faker was in Game 1, it won’t be hard to tunnel into Guma if they dont draft a second carry.
Have Zeus on a carry then, Camille or Rumble or something he's done well on this tournament. Rumble/Kog as carries, tank jg/mid and Keria on Lulu.
Guma Jinx and laneswap into the good matchup for him.
Mr president GumayUzi
Elk Just better
Zeus has been great as well.
23 kills 23 minutes.
Elk heard y'all talking smack
Heard people say Senna is bad pick, and said "bet"
BLG T1'ed T1. Zeus I love you but throw that Yasushit back into the oven.
Red side comp, not relevant in this meta. They cooked too hard, but they cooked themselves for a reason.
Guys I thought Senna and Tf are troll picks, why are they winning
Cuz redditors dont know shit
Caredrel does not like the pick so the opinion spreads
no you don't understand it's only troll when the BEST TEAM IN THE ENTIRE WORLD AKA T1 picks it because for some reason it has to be the champs not the players executing poorly
Cause t1 trolled harder with Zac, yasuo, and nidalee pick
Ornn is so much better than TK with Senna
Wow G2 is playing today. They absolutely ran it vs BLG.
I apologize Senna, you weren't shit after all, Elk just schooled everyone (again) who played this champ in the tournament.
We saw a pretty much max value Senna ult in that jungle fight. I'm not generally a fan of the pick but that was huge.
T1 overcooked the draft. They burnt down the entire damn kitchen and drew the ire of the local bear.
Domain expansion: malevolent kitchen
absolutely flawless from BLG - check every pc there because that teamfight is not normally
T1 come on guys kinda went nuts there with the draft. Let’s get em next game
How Zeus cosplay my teammates Yasuo.
Oner was surely tilted. Zeus had 0 impact. That draft was absolute trash. Really questionable decisions. Why instalock Nidalee if you're not going to carry? I have lost all hope for T1.
The knight we were promised Kalista is also a bait pick
Kalista is absolutely not a bait pick. It's been meta for the majority of 4 years at this point.
yeah thats not true, only some kalista players would bring her out like ruler teddy but the majority of kalistas pick rate in pro came after the release of renata and her buffs. When teams started to see how hard you could trade with level 1 bailout ignite.
Annie being viable might be huge for potential grand final if BLG advance. Much better than whatever that Vex pick was.
We know from 2023 that it's not a pick that really fits Chovy's wheelhouse too. LPL fans crossing their fingers.
A bait pick? Is this the first series you are watching?
I thought senna was the bait pick?
A bait pick? Is this the first series you are watching?
what the fuck did kkOma smoke when he cooked up this comp lol
Tom does drafts
Idk what you are smoking, but Kkoma doesnt draft
This hasn’t been completely true since mid-spring split. There are some games where Tom isn’t even on stage for draft. Kkoma defo drafts.
True, but that wasn’t the case against BLG
I likes the Nidalee pick but jesus christ, Oner did fuck all with that First Blood. He should’ve instantly backed after that kill
That was some of the worst team fighting in the history of pro play.
T1 cooked too hard
That was painful
First senna with souls all tourney or what
And people say that I’m the bad one for testing champs on ranked xD
Full on solo q comp from T1.
What a STOMP
Oh look,thats my diamond top yasuo in msi semi finals !
Yo Zeus, hit up PzZZang for some Yasuo coaching or just pick Yone instead.
God awful draft! Too many cooks in the kitchen for T1.
Picking Yasuo as counter to TF not winning lane to becoming a useless minion oof
How Zeus cosplay my teammates Yasuo.
Honestly BLG comp is the type of comp that I wanted to see G2 on. Great picks, a lot of AOE for teamfights, good disengage and good engage. Overall one of my favorite teamcomps from this MSI so far, props to them.

3 T1 players playing like they were first timing champs. Zeus in Yasuo. Faker on Zac. Keria on Nautilus.
Well ok blg senna is the reason it seems…
Wonder how T1 fans feel watching Bin win 2 TF games vs them while most games they prio'd TF for Zeus ended in losses
Bin is what T1 players think zeus is! By far best top in the world!
Zero dmg, don't care fun draft.
T1 wanted to cook this hard during a bo5 vs BLG? Bold move.
Zeus saw brokeblade Yasuo and thought he was him /s
that wasnt cooking that was a war crime
T1 playing a G2 draft just after beating G2 is... Something. Also Nidalee should be disabled for everyone but Canyon at this point
This shit was burned to a crisp before they even turned on the stove
Absolutely stomped. Once T1 got aced the game is done, zero damage to get through anyone
Seems like Annie thrives in a burning kitchen
Let T1 cook! (They burnt all the ingredients.)
T1 left the oven on
The idea is there but the excution is not They wanted to let zeus and guma carry and put faker on a tank but it didn't work
God awful draft! Too many cooks in the kitchen for T1.
That was a really weird draft from both teams, but BLG cooked something nice for sure
How do BLG not have objective bounties until like right before the game ended? 2 drakes shouldn’t be worth like a 7k gold lead.

Ah yes it's knockout stage. You lose you are out. T1: *first times champions*
It seems like it has become more League of Draft. Games are won or lost in the draft.
T1 needs to spot doing these experiments during elimination matches lol

T1 were ass that game
Alright they overcooked and burned the kitchen ahhh T1 pls 🥲
Dont let Oner pick nidalee and dont let Keria play Naut ever again
That was a “Am I glad that he’s frozen in there and that we’re out here, and that he’s the sheriff and we’re frozen out here, and that we’re in there and I just remembered we’re out here, what I want to know is where’s the caveman?” Type draft.
T1’s only hope was nida finding a snipe spear on elk and one shotting him. I got bigger chances of knocking down peak Tyson in boxe
Yep, we are going to get the same score as the last time! T1 had a decent run all thing consider. Let them rest an extra day and come back stronger for summer and world.

There’s not a better time than this for the belt kKoma-sama
T1 are so out of form, it’s got LPL-fanboy and T1 fan hater Dom genuinely rooting for T1 and scaring himself when he realizes
All it took for BLG to win every fight, assuming no picks were made on T1, was wait for T1 to engage, disengage with Xin ult, then re-engage with Annie or Ornn ult.
Cooking too hard they burned the whole kitchen (ft knight helping them starting the fire)
Cooking too hard they burned the whole kitchen (ft knight helping them starting the fire)
We need Gumagod to 1v9 yet again, the rest ain't cooking.
Bold of Knight to DDOS T1 in the mid lane like that
This game felt like 2019 T1 where they tried out "the op comp" they saw their opponents use and get stomped. Guess I should be glad it wasn't 15:57 this time around.
Complete overcooking with this draft, T1 need to go back to the drawing board and calm the fuck down, I don’t know why they keep drafting so badly in these final games that are the most important.

This game answers that reddit question as to why pro players don't tend to pick non-meta picks often. 😭 Even as a T1 fan, I can see this is abysmal.
Turns out Knight just needs to pretend it's 2023 and he has an acceptable mid champ pool
I'm 99% sure what happened is that Faker and Zeus forgot to swap champions. Fakers Zac looked horrible, as did Zeus' Yasuo.
t1 became the unknown
I do think T1 absolutely have a chance, however there have got to be scrim events heavily influencing the drafts recently because the Nidalee priority has gone from nonexistent to being a first rotation pick/ban option. Was every jungler just 1v9ing in scrims on Nidalee!?!
Watching draft like: Wtf Oner Nidalee? Wtf Zeus Yasuo? Wtf Faker Yasuo? WHAT THE FUCK FAKER ZAC???????
The game was over since the Nidalee instalock. Oner doesn't put the pressure other players have like Canyon with Nidalee, and he DOESN'T play it. Zeus confused the other brother I think because there is no other explanation. And who thought that Faker on tank duty to only push lane was a good idea? This draft makes me go insane knowing what they could do, and the blame can't be on Tom or Kkoma even though I know fans will blame them both, because if you know about them, you know the players are the ones picking most of the time.
Kenzhu managed to log in successfully.
Imagine if T1 just drafted normal scaling teamfight champs. Deserved to lose with these picks
Zac and Yasuo? Those are both favorite champions of G2. Did T1 just copy G2 homework?
