The match between T1 and LNG Esports will surely resonate for a long time in the LoL community worldwide, at least until the two Semifinal matches take place on November 11 and 12. Notably, this match had a lot to discuss, especially regarding the performances of the players from both teams. Clearly, T1 played as perfectly as possible, while the LNG players also lost in the most “perfect” way possible.
In the recent match, the performances of Scout and Tarzan, along with the new achievements and milestones of Faker, have been widely discussed. However, the players surrounding these key figures are equally important. Oner’s complete jungle control in all 3 games and Keria’s spectacular plays in the Support position stand out. But two names are causing significant controversy: GALA from LNG and Gumayusi from T1.
Accordingly, on the specialized site Hupu, LPL fans rated GALA at an impressive score of 8.9 – the highest score for LNG and equal to T1’s Keria. However, notably, this score is even higher than Gumayusi, who clearly dominated GALA in all 3 games regardless of champion choice. In fact, even with Varus lacking items, Gumayusi confidently engaged and solo killed GALA while GALA still had nearly full health, and Gumayusi had lost half of his.
The preferential rating for GALA by many LPL fans has sparked outrage among international fans. Many opinions suggest that LPL is biased simply because GALA is a domestic ADC, who was also linked to the golden age of Royal Never Give Up on the international stage. Indeed, GALA showed almost no standout performance in the match against T1 compared to Gumayusi.
But no matter what, the ultimate victory belonged to Gumayusi, and he had outstanding performances. The form of T1 players is soaring, and at this moment, JD Gaming may also feel a real threat.
