Granted LNG was straight up running it down, Gala is again Elo gapped. However do you think T1 should have no showed the range support in the hopes of letting JDG believe they’d play Rakan and counter pick it in which they’d play the range support allowing JDG zero preparations or do you Weibo used it too much to the point that it wouldn’t matter if T1 used it? (You think T1 has some other random pocket pick that will shape the meta making JDG think they prepared for it only for them to do a bait switch?)
Maybe, but then without bot prio it probably affects the rest of the map and we don’t know what knock on effects that might have vs LNG.
Question also is what (if anything) have JDG been hiding? Can totally see them adjusting a bit, I wonder if we’ll see things like Kanavi’s Wu come out (caused T1 so many problems at MSI) or 369 on carries as it seems everyone is expecting him to play tanks or Jax/Renekton but he’s great on other picks.
Also Ruler is a problem for pick ban since he has so far played things like Kalista, Zeri, Sivir and Kai’Sa arguably a lot better than Guma has. As great as Guma has been I’m a little worried about him opting for early prio and Ruler picking something that’ll hard outscale.
I’m praying T1 is prepped. Can’t wait for this.
