This is a summary/paraphrase of Kerias review stream

TL Game:

-Before the TL match, they prepared Renata and Bard because they thought it would work well vs immobile mage mid + bruiser top They thought that their forms weren’t good enough and they were worried since everyone else was playing kaisa, xayah and tank sup which they (T1 players and coaches) didn’t think it was very good. -They didn’t play well against TL so they decided to play according to play the meta against GENG and if it didn’t work, they would do their own thing. They simply weren’t confident in their ability to do well in the tourney on the “meta” champs with how they were playing.

GENG Game:

-They didn’t play well and lost so they went back to the drawing board and decided to do their own thing

C9 Game:

-Since C9 was a good NA team they prepped hard, and won. They thought it would be better to stick with their style

LNG Series:

-Funny note: They were scrimming LNG when they drew them so they had to stop scrims immediately and thank them lol -They took their time to prep draft but got stuck at the 4/5 picks since they knew that fumbling it could end in a loss -Keria came up with the Ashe pick during internet issues and Guma agreed to try it (side note: Gumayusi said they don’t think double adc bot is particularly strong so they didn’t play it too frequently on stage) -Picking Senna was to bait blitz pick (blitz counters senna tahm) but they knew Nilah/senna would do well early vs the lane (Nilah can buffer Blitz hook with E)

JDG Game:

-They were worried about JDG prep with strong early game bot/sup picks -Said Faker won the 3rd game -Since Guma said he was stronger than Zeri in teamfights he wasn’t worried in G4

-Ngl Keria lost me after this he’s really hard to understand sometimes due to the way he talks so not much for JDG or WBG -I’ll have to work on my Korean I guess lol

WBG game: -Thought series was easy -Gave respect to them -Didn’t want to underestimate them due to last year so they prepped super hard -Got worried when Faker said it was too easy/boring after game 2

After review: -Gave respect to the manager and said she was essential for the players being comfortable and happy -Said Pick/Ban win + Ingame win = T1 Win
