Match Prediction: DAMWON Gaming - T1 | LoL

T1 is coming up to the final in good shape, but it still cannot be called perfect. In the playoffs, Gumayusi was replaced by Teddy, and in my opinion, this replacement did not benefit the squad. Gumayusi looks stronger in almost every aspect and suits the aggressive style of the team better, but the management knows better and in the semifinal match against Gen.G Teddy showed that he is not in vain retaining his place, practically winning the last map of the confrontation in solo.
Faker is unstable and every game can show both outstanding performance and fatal mistakes that lead to defeat.
It should also be said that winning this final is the only way for T1 to go directly to Worlds 2021 without playing the regional qualifiers. I am sure that they will cling to this chance in every possible way.

DAMWON Gaming, regarding their results in the spring, performed this split poorly, nevertheless, two split finals in one year guarantee them getting to the Worlds even if they lose. The team actively uses meta picks and tries to diversify drafts with non-standard combinations like Yasuo + Diana.
As in the case of T1, I would like to note that the weak link in the roster is the ADC player - Ghost. His hero pool and too passive manner of play led to the fact that in the middle of the season he, like Teddy, was replaced, but very soon he returned to his place and will certainly play in the final. Let's see where this leads.

Bookmakers say that DAMWON Gaming is the favorites in this meeting, but I disagree with them. Throughout the split, DWG did not show any development, but only acquired problems that they tried to solve by swapping roles and players in the roster. T1 on the contrary - after the failed spring split, the coaches were replaced and the view of the game was revised. In their drafts and moves, there was always an idea and a concept that could lead the team to victory, and thanks to the almost perfect mechanical execution, this was always possible to bring to life.

T1 odds are too high. Perhaps by the day of the final they will become equal, but now I would take a small bet on the victory of T1 as a "value" bet. In terms of play, I also prefer Faker's team.
