Zeus Reveals Unique Strategy Ahead of Showdown with T1
On April 9, the second week of the LCK Regular Season officially kicked off with impressive displays of strength from the powerhouse teams. Accordingly, DK secured a swift 2-0 victory over BRO while HLE narrowly defeated DNF with a 2-1 scoreline. This result temporarily keeps DK at the top of the standings with three straight wins, while Zeus and his teammates have also returned to the top 4, putting significant pressure on other competitors.
For HLE, they have another crucial match this week against T1. It’s worth noting that T1 is also in the race for the LCK title this season, so a victory would hold significant meaning for HLE. Notably, in a recent interview, Zeus exhibited extreme confidence ahead of the upcoming showdown. In fact, this player revealed that he plans to surprise T1 with a top lane Nidalee strategy that he has been practicing.
“Although Nidalee was used in the recent match against BNF with Peanut, I am very confident in this champion. In fact, we have prepared and practiced the top lane Nidalee strategy many times in scrims with extremely good results. If the situation allows, I will definitely use top lane Nidalee and secure a victory, even finishing the match with a 2-0 against T1,” Zeus confidently shared.
T1 Should Be Cautious of Nidalee in Zeus’s Hands
In reality, Zeus’s statements are backed by the fact that this player has used Nidalee multiple times in ranked matches. In those games, Zeus has shown his excellent handling of this champion and has been able to completely dominate opponents in the laning phase. Moreover, the recent meta also supports the return of top lane Nidalee, playing as a physical fighter as the importance of the laning phase has been significantly elevated.
It should be noted that T1’s current top laner – Doran is considered to have a weaker laning phase compared to Zeus. Therefore, HLE and Zeus’s practice of top lane Nidalee could be aimed at fully exploiting this aspect on T1’s side. Thus, T1 needs to quickly find an appropriate counter-strategy against Zeus’s champion pool in general and Nidalee in particular in the upcoming matches. Otherwise, they may find themselves regretting as this star completely outshines them.
