It's kinda crazy that swiss kinda limits this level of scouting since you never know who your opponents will be, unlike groups where the teams you face are the same til the end of the round
I know it's absolutely not as easy as it sounds, but I always wondered why pros whose full time jobs are basically to play this one game for hours on end-- can only play like ten champions
I believe it's due to champ disparity and Influence. Many players will never learn certain champs because it doesn't fit the needs of competitive play. Riven is a great example. You have to do way more than other champs just to play at an even state. It's a poor weakside and it simple costs more to get the bare minimum done as opposed to other champs like cho gath, or jayce. And you can only be so good at a certain play style which means for weaker play styles you just play the best meta champs or easiest champs for that play style. Example Broken blade is great at carry champs but struggles on tank engage champs. So his pool for carry champs are 5+ while tanks are 2-3
mostly because it's a team game. you have to think about macros and synergies and stuff. if everyone has large champion pools that would create a lot of possible combinations. it's probably better to be a master of a few team comps than the jack of all
@@anonomyss perhaps that's not his style, you can say the same about faker's neeko can you not? they seemed to have banned it pretty much every single game
Yet T1 scout always overlooks gen.g's botlane. Keep giving Rakan to Delight who's the reason they lose every gen.g clash with his great Rakan ults. Also giving Peyz Xayah. T1 could have accomplished more if their pick and bans are good but now the T1 players are to blame and could be disbanded because of poor coaches decisions.
Yeah, but i think that T1 knew they could afford losing that round. Gen G is like kryptonite to T1 on the past meta, so beating them would have required showing in swiss what they're pulling out of the sleeves now. Ashe supp and Senna + TK/Nilah are picks that people can target in bans (because every team knows how good T1 were on that meta) and also know how to counter but can be used to their full extent when they catch enemies unprepared. Also, winning against Gen G would have mean less games + harder enemies when coming back to stage while losing gave them the oportunity to play against other regions and thus, practice on a serious enviroment. Imagine a world were T1 wins against Gen G via drafting prio double marksman botlane/Senna + TK: now everyone knows to expect it + Gen G will practice more against other regions. That's like shooting yourself in your foot for pride. You lose the pocket picks advantage + the meta will have shifted opening the possibility to other teams to test counters against those picks AND you have the team with the best scoreboard against you in the tournament with more international training (i fully believe that Chovy and Peanut can't handle the international stage pressure so giving them the oportunity and time to adapt and overcome that is dangerous af). As a funfact, on fighting games there are a lot of good players that do this (losing early on pourpose to practice more and secure brackets with "weaker" opponents) and now that swiss is a thing in LoL eSports i expect to see this trend coming to play on future iterations of this championship.
@@sidradeaveexcept if the Swiss stage will be a thing in the future. Considering they do tend to change formats from time to time then coming back to old format. Still swiss is great for EU and NA. At least one of them got into quarters.
i dont hate t1 , i just find it funny that T1 fans hype up the dumbest shit. Like this is something every team does in draft. This isnt anything special..@@chaptermastermoloc4171

There needs to be way more games in swiss tbh. It doesn't make any sense that teams who haven't won a game against lck/LPL can qualify
@@manuman5319 i think they should simply change BO1s to BO3s as well in the 1st 2 rounds
Well made video. Love the piano in the background too!
INSANE VIDEO THANKS SO MUCH
The swiss really made sure the best of the best teams came out on top.
Imagine T1 just pick the champs just beacause they felt like playing it
they did that at regional against lower team just cuz they can.
ThTs what they did, zeus tool jayce for the skin
@@radiochangoso as faker.. pick ahri to get her a skin.
great vid
Fantastic analysis

Meta
@@user-hf4dg2qh8eWhat's Apa's excuse for not learning Azir then? He has been in meta for ages and is such a staple pick, yet he doesn't play him.
@@anonomyss perhaps that's not his style, you can say the same about faker's neeko can you not? they seemed to have banned it pretty much every single game

@@sidradeavewell explained

Damn and now they’re world champions
What is this man? T1 did not expose TL, T1 just tried the meta but they cant adapt thats why they're struggling against NA teams
can you slow down your video next time. i need to pause every other line cause i cant keep up. its way too fast
Source: trust me bro, come on just trust me bro im a content creator
I mean, he did his research and it all made sense, but no one said it was t1's reasoning
Skill issue
This shit make no sense. Prove us that you aint making shit up for the haters to have something running with their mouth.
Congrats you know the fundamentals of drafting 😂 this isn’t anything crazy. T1 fans will hype up the dumbest shit
The same way T1 Haters would find something to talk trash and hate 🤣😂.
