Quarterfinal #2 Preview







SKT T1 #2 vs Najin Shield

By: Fionn





Opening up the festivities for the knockout round of the Spring season of Champions, we had the most surprising team of the season, SK Telecom T1 #2, led by long time #1 solo queue player Faker, going up against the team that barely squeaked into the playoffs, Najin Shield, who would have been knocked out of the tournament if ahq Korea had surrendered only seconds earlier in their final game against LG-IM. On paper, it was a mismatch, SKT only losing one real game in the regular season, not playing seriously in their final two games against MVP Ozone, using double jungle strategies and having a fun time to close out the group stages. In reality, the results were actually much worse than initially anticipated.



Game One



The pick/ban phase was nothing out of the ordinary. Mandu, gaining respect from everyone in Korea after putting on a terrifying performance on support Fiddlesticks to start the season against CJ Blaze, has had it continually banned against him. Taking away Shield's comfort picks, they were forced to step outside the box, Nofe going for Hecarim in the jungle and save - who had both his favorite champions, Kha'zix and Diana banned - go for Jayce in the mid lane.



Shield were able to pick up first blood on Lulu, but that was the happiest they would be in the game, everything going down the drain after a good start. Nofe, who is known for his aggressive ganking in the early levels, was a hindrance to his team, poorly engaging in fights and giving SKT early kills. This began a comedy of errors for Shield, Nofe overextending again and again, forcing his team to back him up in badly positioned fights, letting SKT take a huge lead in the early game.



By the fifteen mark, the game was already nearing its end, SKT up in CS in all the important roles, and bengji was 4/0/1 on Jarvan IV, showing Nofe how to play the jungle role properly. The final battle commenced at the tier two top lane turret, Shield holding onto to dear life, hoping that maybe - just maybe - a perfect team fight could give them a slight chance to get back in the game. Disregarding the turret shots, SKT surrounded the weak Shield team composition, picking apart each player one by one and then finally taking the turret, forcing Shield to cut their losses and surrender the game at the 21 minute mark.



MVP: bengi on Jarvan IV (7/0/10)



The MVP of the game really wasn't hard to pick. This game was a perfect example of one jungler carrying the game and the other being the main reason why his team lost. bengi played a perfect game on Jarvan, hitting his ultimate at the right times and knowing when and when not to start a team fight. On the flip side, Nofe went 0/5/1, stalling around bushes, not farming, and forcing fights that didn't need to be made. Faker, as always, also had a strong game on Orianna, going 5/0/10, but would be saving his best performance the second game of the series.



Game Two



If the first game was Shield getting beat before the game even started in the pick/ban phase, this was the game they were primed to win. save was able to get one of his staples in Diana, and Nofe, after throwing the first game on Hecarim, was able to grab his trustworthy Jarvan IV. With their two weak links of the first game getting champions they are known to do well on, things couldn't go any worse for Shield in game two, right?



Then Faker happened. Playing on Jayce, Faker gave a display of how to destroy a team on Jayce before the twenty minute mark. Living up to his name as the MVP of the season so far, Faker went on a killing spree in the game, going for a fast Manamune, gaining an extreme power jump in the middle of the game. Starting the game by out dueling save's Diana in the mid lane, Faker bullied everyone around the map, hitting insane shock blasts on unsuspecting Shield members. The play of the game came when Lulu, trying to recall back after getting away from a gank from SKT's bot lane and jungler, was hit by a blind shock blast from Faker, showing that his game sense is second to none currently in Korea.







The carnage continued from there, the bodies falling left and right for Shield. With his early kills and being to grab his early Manamune, Jayce became unstoppable, jumping into team fights and picking up countless kills. After three straight team fights, Faker walked out with a triple kill all three times, completing a hat trick and essentially ending any hope Shield had for tying the score up 1-1.



To be fair to Shield, they did have a few nicely positioned team fights by the end of the game, catching Faker too far in front and killing him before he could unleash any damage, but it was far too late. For every good team fight Shield had, SKT had three, forcing Shield to surrender for a second straight time at thirty minutes, pushing them to the brink of elimination. While the faces of SKT were lit up with laughter at the stomp they just produced, Shield looked stunned, not knowing what just hit them.



MVP: Faker on Jayce (14/3/12)



Who else would it be? He was 50% of his team's damage output in the game, and he was apart of almost every kill in the game. His game sense was out of the world, catching players without vision with his shock blast, and he knew the exact time to go all-in, being able to go behind enemy lines and get a kill without putting himself in any danger. If you're wanting to learn how to play Jayce - damn, if you're a PROFESSIONAL at playing Jayce, this is a game that you need to see. There are some people who don't buy into the hype of the #1 solo queue player in Korea, but this should silent all of his critics with this beautiful performance.



Game Three



With their backs on the ropes, Shield had to go all for nothing in what could be the final game of their season. Getting banned out again with his Diana and Kha'zix taken from him, save opted for Karthus. Taking Jayce away from Faker so they didn't all die again, Expession took him, leaving Faker to play Orianna for the second game in the series. The most important part of the picks and bans was the bottom lane for SKT, Mandu picking up Nunu for support and giving us flashbacks to season two.



Shield had the best game of the series in the third set, but they were simply outmatched. Faker, even without Jayce, was able to pick up kills on Orianna, being able to straight up kill Karthus one-on-one in lane. The bottom lane of SKT were able to take out turrets fast, pushing the lane and forcing Shield into engagements. The game looked close in terms of kills, but SKT controlled the game throughout, grabbing their objectives and pushing down turrets, making Shield react to whatever they were doing.



The tipping point of the game came when Expession tried to bait Mandu and Piglet into a 3v2 situation against Nofe's Lee Sin and a Wolf's Lulu, but the Hundred Acre Woods bot lane were too good on the night, Piglet and Mandu in perfect synergy and killing all three of their pursuers without either dying. This began the slow, cruel death of Shield, having a great composition to poke and keep distance with Kog'maw and Jayce, but not being able to engage or win against a richer, stronger team.



Finally, after grabbing all the objectives they could and grabbing vision at every point on the map, SKT went in for the final kill, rolling up the steps of Shield's base and killing them all in a slaughter. Down 12k gold and having no hope left, the Shield team wasted away to the beefed up SKT team, giving them free reign over their Nexus and the ending of the game.



MVP: Piglet on Caitlyn (10/1/4)



Pulling a Faker, Piglet carried the game through the bottom lane. Shield tried to shut down the Caitlyn and Nunu combo, but Piglet's mechanics shined through, being able to evade numerous ganks and turn them around into kills of his own. Locodoco, who was probably the best player for Shield on the night, wasn't able to keep up with Piglet, losing against his opponent straight up in a one-on-one fight and summing up the night for Shield. In all three games SKT had a different MVP, showcasing their strength in the lane phase and proving to their doubters that while Faker may be the star, he's not the only one on SKT.



Final Thoughts:



They were resilient in the group stage, being able to come back from devastating losses, analyze their mistakes and grab a win in the second game of a series, but it just didn't work against SKT. Nofe was a mess the entire night, not able to make anything happen in the early game, becoming a major negative instead of the positive he was during the regular season. save's comfort champions were banned from him two of the three games, making his tough job of handling Faker even harder. Expession, who has been called one of the best top laners in Korea, didn't have an awful night, but wasn't very good, either. The bottom lane of Shield, Locodoco and a Wolf, the part of their team that had the most criticism in the regular season, were the brightest spots for the team, able to make a few plays before Faker decided to end all their lives.



SKT looked strong, but there are still holes there that better teams can exploit. Their lane phase is right up there with KT Rolster B, but their team fighting is going need to improve if they want to become champions. Faker and impact were caught out in the second game, giving Shield a few kills they had no business getting, but they were already so far ahead that it didn't matter. In a game against KTB or one of the CJ squads, a late game team fight where Faker gets caught and burned down fast could be the difference between a championship and a silver medal.



While there are still things SKT need to do to become best in Korea, they are on their way. A team that was thrown together with solo queue heroes and cast offs of lesser Korean teams are walking down the royal road, hoping to become kings of Champions in their inaugural season.

Winner Interview

By: Mafia

SKT T1 #2 Winner's Interview (Quarterfinals)





Inven: Your thoughts on being the first to advance to the semifinals?

Bengi: It was an expected result. We’ll try to break our 3rd place jinx.

Piglet: We will break our 3rd place jinx.

Faker: I’ll take the mvp 3 times in the semifinal.



Inven:Were you guys happy with your gameplay?

Bengi: I wasn’t happy with my play. I didn’t play well in one of the games like the 3rd game dive. Just a bunch of mistakes and I wasn’t happy with that part.

Faker: I still sense mistakes and I want to fix it over time. I only had 3 solo kills.(laugh)

Piglet: Ah, I only played Vayne once but I was able to take bug item build(attack speed?) so that was very exciting.

Bengi: Item build should always be bug(attack speed). Why didn’t you run Runnan’s Hurricane?

Piglet: That’s not gonna work(laugh), 2 Phantom dancers is the way to go for Vayne.



Inven: Did you guys expect 3-0?

Piglet: We did. Our coaches told us to show Najin Shield our “class(skill difference)”.

Faker: We just wanted to finish quick.

Piglet: We tried to have you media writers leave asap.



Inven: There were 3 mvp today. Pick your best moment for the day?

Bengi: Didn’t have one.

Piglet: Didn’t have one either.

Bengi: You should do that one, rl moving(some type of crazy moving+positioning).

Piglet: Where I forward flashed on Kog’Maw?

Bengi: Yea, that was rl moving.(laugh)

Faker: I remember orianna ulting on 3 people near baron. Wait no, I’ll do the one where I caught Jarvan.

Piglet: I don’t remember it?

Bengi: Don’t remember(laugh)

Faker: Since no one remembers I’ll just go with the Jarvan kill.

Piglet: Na, It was 1st game orianna ult. Seems like I’m the only one who knows, I’m the best(laugh)



Inven: Today’s Champ Composition was very similar. Was it planned?

Bengi: We tried to hide as much as possible. We’re holding it until our semifinals match.

Faker: I wanted to have a fun pick but my teammates denied me.

Piglet: If we troll picked, early leave would be impossible. I wanted to leave asap(laugh)



Inven: What was the driving force behind your first playoff semifinals?

Piglet: Love from the coaches?

Bengi: We used that cliche too much. It’s time to stop using it(laugh)

Piglet: Our coaches don’t hype us up and give us goals to do. And they take care of us well.

Bengi: If we win this spring season, our team can break all of our coach’s favorite legos. Then our coach said he can reconstruct the lego so we want to see it.

Piglet: We’ll destroy everything(laugh).



Inven: Any preferred semifinal opponent?

Piglet: Our coaches told us we can lose to anything but never to KT Rolster B. Partly cuz its a telecommunication team rivalry but when we first started forming a team KTB had 3 players who were part of it. Semifinal looks to be the hardest match of the tournament. If we beat KT Rolster B, I think we can win the whole thing.



Inven: Can you dominate semifinals just as you did today?

Piglet: If we practice hard, we’ll have the confidence to go along with it. From now on, the team that practices the most will win.



Inven: SKT T2 #1 will have a match soon, give them a shoutout?

Bengi: I hope Reapered can solo kill CJ Flame.(laugh)

Faker: God Suno should at least be able to beat ambition right(laugh)?

Piglet: Bot lane will win. Also jungle will win as well. Horo God will show strong hecarim ganks.



Inven: Theres a battle for the MVP spot, are you guys aiming for it?

Piglet: I don’t care about the MVP. We need to win 1st.

Bengi: I don’t care that much either. However, there is one person drooling on it.

Faker: I really want MVP. I’ll win it for sure.

Piglet: Whenever Faker doesn’t win MVP, Faker says “Why not me?(laugh) I carried the game.”



Inven: Any last words?

Faker: It was Father’s day so I felt proud of doing something for him and please keep cheering for us.

Bengi: I didn’t even get to see my parents so I feel unease about it. I want to go home soon.

Piglet: Nothing to say.

Bengi: … I should’ve also said nothing(laugh).

KT Rolster B vs MVP Ozone

KT Rolster B vs MVP Ozone

KT Rolster B



The brand KT Rolster is a widely recognized name in the world of e-Sports, risen in the world of Starcraft where they were one of the best teams for a long time. They created a god who ruled the Brood War universe like nobody before. As a result, when KT debuted in League of Legends the players had a to live up to the name of KT. In their first season they owned the group stage and were only defeated by the eventual champion team, Najin Sword. In this season, KT B again looked strong in the group stage and advanced from their second place into the Quarterfinal.



It is hard to pinpoint a weak player in the lineup of KT B. The addition of InSec as their new Jungler makes KT B a lot more scarier; Insec is considered by many to be the best Jungler in Korea. Next Ryu in the Mid Lane is considered weak by some, who claim he gets carried by InSec. But one attribute of a good Mid Laner is good coordination with the Jungler. He and InSec are a deadly combination. Before the “troll games” against Frost he was the Mid Laner with the highest KDA in OGN Champions. In the Bottom Lane, Score and Mafa are considered one of the best duos in Korea. Furthermore, Score consistently has amazing positioning and is incredibly hard to catch and kill. Last but not least is KT’s Top Laner ssumday who was the only one in KT B who was not ranked number 1 in the KDA rating before the games against Frost. He is maybe one of the weaker players on KT B but he still performs on an incredible high level. His championpool is also way too big to ban him out. As it seems the KT Rolster management was able to create five other Starplayers who are on their way to dominate the League of Legends scene.



MVP Ozone



MVP had high hopes when they started into the Spring Season after the MVP Roster won OGN Club Masters. Sadly their brotherteam MVP Blue was not able to make it into the Bracket Stage. The starplayer on MVP Ozone is without a question Imp. If Imp get fed the game is already won for MVP Ozone since he is the best ADC in Korea and his mechanics are

But with him being the absolute starplayer on his team he is the only one capable of carrying his team to victory. MVP White often focus too much on Imp which makes them predictable in their playstyle. They have a very good midlaner with Dade and a solid Jungler with DanDy. One big problem for MVP was their toplaner Homme. Homme was not able to perform on the same skilllevel as his teammates and often lost his lane or could barely go even. But in the last match he reached his old form and played an important part in the 2:0 victory. It is essential for MVP Ozone that Homme can perform on this level again. But MVP Ozone has a way more severe weakness. They have a really strong laning phase where they come ahead into the midgame but since they do not have a specific plan what they want to do they lose their advantage when they reach the lategame. The only plan they have is “let Imp carry” but often they miss the chance to apply pressure in the midgame which stalls enough time for Imp to reach his critical mass when he can start carrying MVP Ozone to victory.



Nevertheless KT B is the clear favorite in this matchup, if MVP Ozone wants to win this match everybody needs to perform on their highest level especially Homme and they need a clear strategy how they survive the midgame till Imp can take control.

He is maybe one of the weaker players on KT B but he still performs on an incredible high level. His championpool is also way too big to ban him out. As it seems the KT Rolster management was able to create five other Starplayers who are on their way to dominate the League of Legends scene.MVP had high hopes when they started into the Spring Season after the MVP Roster won OGN Club Masters. Sadly their brotherteam MVP Blue was not able to make it into the Bracket Stage. The starplayer on MVP Ozone is without a question Imp. If Imp get fed the game is already won for MVP Ozone since he is the best ADC in Korea and his mechanics are incredible But with him being the absolute starplayer on his team he is the only one capable of carrying his team to victory. MVP White often focus too much on Imp which makes them predictable in their playstyle. They have a very goodwith Dade and a solidwith DanDy. One big problem for MVP was theirHomme. Homme was not able to perform on the same skilllevel as his teammates and often lost his lane or could barely go even. But in the last match he reached his old form and played an important part in the 2:0 victory. It is essential for MVP Ozone that Homme can perform on this level again. But MVP Ozone has a way more severe weakness. They have a really strong laning phase where they come ahead into the midgame but since they do not have a specific plan what they want to do they lose their advantage when they reach the lategame. The only plan they have is “let Imp carry” but often they miss the chance to apply pressure in the midgame which stalls enough time for Imp to reach his critical mass when he can start carrying MVP Ozone to victory.Nevertheless KT B is the clear favorite in this matchup, if MVP Ozone wants to win this match everybody needs to perform on their highest level especially Homme and they need a clear strategy how they survive the midgame till Imp can take control.Chexx: KT B 3:2 MVP OzoneMafia: KT B 3:1 MVP OzoneFionn: KT B 3:1 MVP Ozone
