Before the finals, KDF mentioned that T1 had a bunch of “weird picks” that they hadn’t shown yet, and aside from the Nocturne / Draven game, their other drafts in finals were relatively standard. Anyone have guesses as to what other hidden picks might be? My guesses:
------- Based on Solo Queue / Evidence -------
-Faker flexing mid Yone with Zeus on Yasuo or vice versa
-Keria Lux / Thresh (basically confirmed by Guma that if they had gone on blue side for finals, these would’ve been picked for the skin)
-Oner Karthus
-Oner Wukong
-Oner Kindred
-Oner Nidalee
-Faker Syndra
-Faker Neeko
-Faker / Zeus Gragas flex
-Faker / Zeus Aatrox flex
-Faker / Zeus Ksante flex
-Faker / Guma Tristana flex
-Faler / Zeus Jayce flex
-Zeus Fiora
-Zeus Graves
-Faker / Oner Taliyah flex
------- Pure Speculation --------
-Zeus Sion level 1 bot dive
-Faker LeBlanc
-Faker Ryze
-Keria Kalista / Jhin / Caitlyn support flex
-Guma Ziggs
-Faker Kai’sa mid flex
-Keria Rumble support flex (disco of course)
-Faker Nunu mid lol
-Oner Xin Zhao
-Zeus Kennen
-Zeus Jax
-Zeus Poppy
I don’t think flexing was particularly important in their prep. The whole gameplan for T1 this Worlds is to win lane hard, snowball with the first Herald and powerspike at 1-2 items to win skirmishes. This means they are prepping hard lane counters or simply combos that are super strong early.
