Since the era of the Super Team, KT Rolster has lost its standing as a rival to long-time adversary T1. The famous telecommunication war of yesteryear is now just a thing of the past, as KT always seems to be outmatched by T1, and the recent clash was no exception.
After annihilating KT in game 1, T1 showed signs of stumbling in game 2 with a series of miscalculated turret dives, and their members kept dying individually before they could engage in team fights. However, the resilience of a top-tier team was evident as Teddy, playing Aphelios, shone in the decisive skirmish thanks to the help of 200 years of game balance from Riot.
Aphelios’s ultimate, infused with the damage from the Infernum gun, struck directly at 4 KT members, dealing massive damage and completely shattering Smeb and his teammates’ advantage.
In this match, Canna set a milestone with 18 solo-kills against opponents, becoming the player with the most solo-kills in LCK Summer 2020 up to this point.
It must be acknowledged that, in the current landscape, KT Rolster is no longer a matching rival for T1, and this recent match did not hold much significance in terms of achievements as it once did. Rather, this was just a victory for T1 to forget the shock against Team Dynamics.
Furthermore, this victory also helps T1 secure a safe spot in the playoff contention, though competing for the first rank may be quite difficult, but with their traditional “climbing up” ability, it seems that Faker and his teammates will easily finish the group stage in the top 4.
