Pre-Match Context and Draft Strategy
Before the games started, both teams showed very different draft ideas.
Team WE, for example, focused on control and strong engage tools. They preferred champions like Trundle, Braum, Ryze, and Corki. These picks work well in teamfights and allow good counter-engage.
ThunderTalk Gaming, however, went for high-damage and playmaking carries. They wanted explosive fights. Nevertheless, WE answered with smart bans and limited TT’s space.
As a result, WE entered the match with better structure and safer teamfight setups.
