Hello!

It was 6 pm today, finally, the

MSI bracket stage lower round 3

The match between T1 and G2 took place!

​

There was a viewing party at LoL Park in Jongno, Seoul, so

On weekends, it's first-come, first-served entry to the arena for team members only, but

Today, Friday, anyone can enter, regardless of membership,

First-come, first-served from 4 pm, so

I got off work at 2:30 pm and ran there right away!

There were MSI posters at the entrance of LoL Park.

T1's Faker and GEN.G's Chovy

Around 3 pm on a weekday, an hour before the first-come, first-served entry,

I arrived relatively early, but the line was really long.

There were many foreign fans, and T1 is indeed very popular.

MSI commemorative stickers were also

available to take.

After waiting for an hour, I received

my viewing party ticket and

put on my bracelet.

​

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to enter because of the limited capacity, but

Fortunately, it was a weekday, so I was able to enter.

I got seat E, row 5, number 9!

Finally, I got to enter the LoL Park arena for the first time.

I've always watched it live from home, but

this is my first time watching it at a viewing party.

Seat E, row 5, number 9

The seats at both ends were comfortable,

I could see the player's seats well, and

the view was pretty good.

The picks were really interesting from set 1.

First, G2 banned Xin Zhao, K'Sante, Lucian, Ashe, and Senna,

focusing on the bottom lane bans.

​

Broken Blade chose Jax for top,

Yike chose Kha'Zix for jungle,

Caps chose LeBlanc for mid,

Hans Sama chose Draven for ADC,

and Mikyx chose Poppy for support.

They went for a strong composition.

​

T1, in response, banned Rek'Sai, Zac, Tristana, Nidalee, and Lee Sin,

focusing on jungle bans.

​

Zeus chose Camille for top,

Oner chose Sejuani for jungle,

Faker chose Orianna for mid,

Gumayusi chose Kalista for ADC,

and Keria chose Renata Glasc for support.

They chose a safe composition.

G2 players went aggressive in the early game.

Especially Mikyx's Blade of the Ruined King ignite support Poppy

showed a fierce early game presence, but

later on, as T1 players got stronger,

she couldn't tank and melted away.

​

Zeus' crazy Camille super plays and

Oner's Sejuani

initiated well together, and

Gumayusi's undying 0-death ADC Kalista

led to an overwhelming victory in set 1.

​

In set 2, G2 banned

Senna, Ashe, Renata Glasc,

Vayne, and Twisted Fate, and

​

picked Urgot for top, Viego for jungle,

Aurelion Sol for mid, Draven for ADC, and

Nautilus for support.

​

T1 banned

Orianna, Taliyah, Tristana,

Zac, and Rek'Sai, and

​

picked K'Sante for top, Poppy for jungle, Azir for mid,

Varus for ADC, and Alistar for support.

​

Personally, watching the picks and bans,

they secured Poppy first, and

the other side banned Vayne and Twisted Fate, but

they chose K'Sante first, which was a really good pick and ban.

And personally, in my opinion, set 2 was the most fun.

There were many really fun moments.

​

There were constant accidents in the mid lane early on, and

Aurelion Sol grew well, making things a bit difficult.

But Zeus' K'Sante

tanked well, keeping up.

​

They won team fights and baron plays,

almost destroyed the nexus, but

Draven killed the remaining players,

getting a quadra kill, almost causing a disaster.

​

In the end, Lee Sang-hyeok (Faker)

teleported and backdoored, destroying

the nexus with one hit left, ending the game.

Set 3 had the picks I was worried about.

​

G2 banned Senna, Ashe, Azir, Vayne, and Camille, and

picked Jax for top, Ivern for jungle, Tristana for mid,

Varus for ADC, and Braum for support.

​

They chose the Ivern and Tristana combo, which became a hot topic.

I've seen them use these champions really well, so I was a little worried.

​

T1 banned

K'Sante, Renata Glasc, Poppy, Zac, and Rek'Sai, and

picked Rumble for top, Viego for jungle, Taliyah for mid,

Kalista for ADC, and Nautilus for support.

I think set 3 was really close.

​

G2's mid Tristana grew well, and

Ivern and Braum were so

reliable, tanking well.

​

Zeus' Rumble

struggled early on, but

in the end, based on Keria's

initiation,

​

they cut down Caps' Tristana

and won the team fight, securing the baron and destroying the nexus.

The final score was

3:0, with T1 winning!

​

T1 players worked so hard...

Zeus, Oner, Faker, Gumayusi, Keria

There was a lot of talk about their form, condition, and

pick and ban issues before the game.

​

G2 beat TES 3:0,

coming in with strong form, and

many people said that T1 wouldn't be able to beat G2 in good form, and

they might lose, but I never thought they'd win 3:0.

The players who did well were so awesome.

​

There's a rematch against BLG tomorrow at 6 pm.

I hope they win and go on to face Gen.G in the LCK finals.

They had chairs set up in the lobby so you could watch from there.

The arena is first-come, first-served for members only on weekends, but

the lobby is open to everyone.

​

If you want to experience the atmosphere of watching together,

I recommend visiting LoL Park.

​

But it's first-come, first-served from 4 pm, so

I recommend arriving early.

(It's likely to be even more crowded on weekends.)
​

I hope T1 wins against BLG tomorrow and makes it to the finals.

I'll be back with a post about the match and victory. :)
