In short, T1 was ahead of other teams. Other teams were just following the meta, but T1 was the meta. T1’s champion pool was way too disverse for any team to match, and simultaneously, all 5 T1 players decided to play to the best of their ability.
Against LNG, T1 pulled out the ranged sp to surprise and take down LNG. For JDG’s case, Missing was unable to quickly adapt to the ranged sp meta. For WBG, T! knew that TheShy is the main threat in WBG so they let Zeus get the counterpick priority while Oner setup for him. WBG’s mid and bot were unable to directly match with T1’s Mid and botlane
