Wootl-an' Showdown... Fearless fox, FOX Catches Big Fish T1 [Lee Joo-hyun's Login eSports]
As his nickname 'The Dinosaur Who Hits Heads' suggests, 'Fox' BNK FOX caught a big fish.
On the 18th, FOX caused an upset by defeating T1 with a set score of 2 to 1 in the first round of the 2024 LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea) Summer Split held at LoL Park in Gran Seoul, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
T1 is a strong team that won the inaugural League of Legends champion of the 'eSports World Cup' (EWC) held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, earlier this month.
However, since returning to the LCK, they have been shaky, losing to Hanwha Life Esports and FOX.
The match between the two teams also garnered attention for their 'Uttul-an (We weren't wrong)' ban-pick. 바카라사이트 추천
Both FOX and T1 maintained the same concept from the first to the third set.
FOX picked jungle Zyra three times in a row and showed a combination with mid Corki and Lucian.
T1 kept the same picks for jungle Ivern, mid Tristana, and ADC Ezreal throughout game three.
As a result, PierX, who showed more flexible choices, won.
PierX fixed his jungle Zyra and mid Corki picks, but chose variations in top and bottom champions.
In particular, in the decisive third game, his choice of top Gnar and bottom Senna-Ornn combination worked well.
Clear Song Hyeon-min, who chose Gnar, consistently pressured T1 top laner Zeus Choi Woo-je, who chose Xante, and widened the growth gap.
On the other hand, PierX's bottom laners 'Henna' Park Jung-hwan and 'Duro' Joo Min-kyu, who chose Senna-Ornn, successfully held their ground against T1 bottom laners who chose Ez-Seraphine.
PeerX shook T1 by showing off split operation based on the gap at the top.
Whenever there was an opening, he caught the opponent and widened the gap further.
PeerX, who pushed the opponent, succeeded in hunting the large object, Baron Nashor, and showed more bold side operation.
T1, whose only tank champion, Xante, failed to grow, was pushed back without creating the confrontation structure they wanted.
In the end, PeerX, who hunted the second Baron Nashor, broke T1's inhibitor and advanced, and T1, who could not overcome the growth gap of nearly 10,000 gold, collapsed.
On this day, T1 did not record a single kill against PeerX, receiving the worst score of 0 kills and 8 deaths.
PeerX, who gained momentum by catching a big fish, will face KT Rolster for the first time in the second round on the 21st.
They were completely defeated in the first round with a set score of 0 to 2, but since they defeated T1, it seems that it will be difficult to predict the outcome.
Meanwhile, T1, who lost, will face another strong opponent tomorrow.
Fans are curious to see whether T1, who is struggling, will be able to turn things around by defeating Hanwha Life, or whether they will fall into the 'swamp of defeat'.
