Match Report – Game 2

MVP: T1 Support Keria — who opened up the crucial fight near Baron (Erta Khan) by catching three TES players on Neeko, enabling T1 to collapse hard.

Draft & early game

T1 picked a classic big-ultimate-combo team-composition, looking to force fights and follow up on initiation. They targeted shutting down TES’s ADC JackeyLove on Aphelios early, limiting his impact.

• At 6′: T1 executed a top-lane 4-man swindle on TES’s Hang (on Nami). T1’s jungler Oner on Jarvan IV covered the retreat, mid-laner Faker on Galio followed with a big ultimate — they got the kill on Hang and shut TES down top early. Meanwhile, TES’s jungler Kanavi picked up the first dragon for his team.
• At 10′: TES got a slight reprieve: JackeyLove’s Aphelios managed a kill on Faker, gaining some economy back.
• At 12′: Oner’s Jarvan secured another dragon. JackeyLove’s Aphelios flashed forward to kill Keria’s Neeko, but was caught out himself — T1’s top-laner 369 on Lillia came in and helped clean up, TES traded 1 for 2 in that skirmish.

Mid-game turning point

• At 17′: Dragon fight broke out. Doran (TES top-lane) on Camille used his ultimate on JackeyLove, but T1 nonetheless secured the second dragon.
• At 21′: Near the Baron/Erta Khan pit, Keria’s Neeko opened up by catching three TES players; Doran’s Camille locked down JackeyLove’s Aphelios, and Faker’s Galio followed up with ultimate to instantly burst him. T1’s ADC Gumayusi on Kai’Sa then cleaned up with a triple-kill. T1 claimed the Erta Khan.
• At 24′, JackeyLove once again got caught by Oner’s Jarvan IV. TES had almost no damage in the team fight. T1 team wiped TES and took Baron (the “big dragon”) immediately afterward.

Closing sequence

• At 27′: T1 pushed down the bottom lane and ended the game. TES never recovered after the Erta Khan + Baron fight collapse.

Summary

T1’s draft was built around a big-combo teamfight squad with Jarvan IV + Galio + Neeko initiation, and Kai’Sa as the primary carry. They executed it cleanly. TES had decent individual plays (JackeyLove’s Aphelios getting a kill early), but were systematically punished in mid- and late-game team fights once T1 pulled the trigger. The decisive fight lasted around 21 minutes: Keria’s big Neeko engagement forced TES into a collapse, after which T1 took the objective and never relinquished it. The result: T1 grabbed their second match win and moved to 2-0 match point in the series.
