Hey guys, this will be my first analysis about League of Legends here in the steemit. If i got a good feedback, i will try to keep it up weekly. I hope you all enjoy to read it, as much as i enjoyed to write it!
TEAM ONE: LATE GAME AND ROTATIONS
It's impossible not to think about Late Game when it comes to Team One, especially after the victories against Red Canids and Pain Gaming. But you do not have to be a high level specialist of the game to know that the runner-up also focuses on the later moments of the matches. But then, what would be the differential of the team of 4Lan? Map rotation, especially in the early-mid game. Even the game they lost in the Final we saw the inversions of Absolut, RedBert and VVvert, and the "strange" yet effective rotations that resulted in pressure on two or even three routes at the same time.
Also noteworthy are the Golden Boys' key champions, such as Tristana, Cassiopeia and Sejuani. Of the three, only Marf's favorite champion is not a priority of the goal, and for these and others, she deserves special attention. The Cassiopeia pick, if not well studied by Cloud 9, could be a deadly weapon in favor of the Brazilian team, as Marf himself said "I can not take it anymore from Cassiopeia, but if they leave open I'll get it."
CLOUD 9: TEAM FIGHTS AND RESOURCES FOR CARRYS
While Team One rolls the map further and distributes resources between VVvert, Marf / Brucer and Absolut, Americans prefer to give the protagonism to Sneaky and Jensen, who likes offensive champions like Oriana and Corki. He also played for Cassiopeia in the Regional Final, and despite having played well, it was not something spectacular.
When you watch the Cloud9 games you see ganks slaughtering Jensen and Sneaky, but team fights 5v5 are slow to happen, usually the American team prefers pick-offs and achieving goals from these isolated killers. Point in which Team One should be careful, always leaving the enemy jungle well guarded to avoid surprises. In addition to the midlaner, the Golden Boys should pay attention to Sneaky, who carried the C9 in the regional signings, always playing with Tristana or Xayah, both the strongest marksmen of the current goal, and further strengthened with the Burning Thruster. The American shooter is the biggest cause of damage of his team, it will not be in the fights that Team One will have its differential, but, as already said, in the decisions and rotations. It can be said roughly that the Cloud 9 players are more systemic, so they play better in the team, but Team One's are more creative, and even though they have very well fought fights, decisions are usually well made.
Route vs Route:
Impact x Vvert -> Here is without a doubt, the biggest gap between C9 Squad and the Golden Boys. We have a Former SKT1 player in the NA team side, he is not just very experient but is in a very good shape to this championship. With the Meta bringing back his confort zone chapions, like Trundle and Gnar. In the other side, we have Vvert. A reliable but not awesome toplaner. He is not the best brazilian player in this position, but his reliability made possible for TeamOne to try crazy routations. He did a great perfomance as Trundle and Mundo in the CBLOL Finals, but I dont think that this will be enought to stop Impact this weekend.
4lan x Contractz-> Emotion. Soul. Scream. Watch out folks, we got a true BRAZILIAN jungler on the stage. He is the heart of this team, just watching him play is enought to make you get excited. Responsible for the team moral boost during the game, to create the crazy routations that gave T1 the CBlol title and is excellent mechanically speaking. With Sejuani and Elize on the Meta, he will be doing great at the Worlds. On the other side, we have another amazing jungler: The former Cloud9 Team B jungler, Contractz. He made his way to the main team of the organization after showing great perfomance in the Challenger Series 2016. Very skilled and Aggresive, he changed his playstyle during this year, to self-adapt in the C9 gameplan, and in my opnion this made him lost some of his potential raw talent. This route is T1 place to shiny.
Marf/Brucer x Jensen -> Here we have the final boss for the Golden Squad. Jensen, the former Soloqueue Rioter named IncarNati0n, won the best mid laner award for the LCS NA Summer split regular season. His numbers are amazing just like his mechanics. But the hope is not lost at all! The brazilian duo Marf/Brucer made great games during the split, and have some pocketpicks on their sleeves, like Cassio and Orianna. If they play their 100%, they might be able to hold the Big boss Jensen. ( Or if they are luck enought to jensen make a horrible perfomance like he did against the Dignitas in the NA LCS QuarterFinals match).
Absolut and RedBert x Sneaky and Smoothie -> Well guys, here we have my most polemical guess. The T1 Duo is better than Cloud 9 duo. Yeah, you all probably dont know who is "Absolut" or "Redbert". Me either, until the start of this split. I saw a unknowed duo winning matchups after matchups on the CBlol Stage. They are mechanicaly amazing, specially absolut, he is undoubtable the best ADC in brazil Nowaday. Even after the great BO5 of Sneaky against CLG to guarantee the Worlds Seed for Cloud 9, I still think that the most surprising outcome will come from this lane. The "Esmagador de Cranio" will swallow Sneaky. Open your eyes to the botton of the rift during this games!
My final prediction: Saturday - C9 0 x 1 T1
Sunday - C9 1 x 0 T1
