Detailed Game Breakdown
Game 1: TES snowball from mid game
At first, the early game was relatively even. Team WE secured First Blood after a small skirmish near the river. However, TES quickly responded with precise counter-ganks. Because of this, they stabilized the game.
Meanwhile, Naiyou moved actively across the map. He controlled vision and supported his teammates. At the same time, Creme built a clear CS advantage over Karis in mid lane.
Then, at minute 12, TES secured the first Dragon. This objective gave them momentum. As a result, TES began to snowball.
Afterward, TES destroyed the first mid turret. In addition, they invaded WE’s jungle and denied resources. Consequently, WE was forced to play defensively.
Later, at minute 25, TES secured Baron. Immediately afterward, they pushed mid lane together. Finally, TES won a decisive teamfight and wiped WE. Therefore, TES closed Game 1 with full control.
Game 2: Creme completely dominates mid lane
In Game 2, TES played more aggressively from the start. As expected, Creme gained lane priority early. He had more CS, higher level, and stronger map pressure.
Meanwhile, Naiyou continued to impact the map. Because of his presence, TES secured key objectives. These included the first Dragon, Rift Herald, and first turret.
As the game progressed, TES increased their advantage. Then, at minute 18, TES won a major fight near Dragon. They eliminated three WE players. Consequently, the gold gap became even larger.
After securing Baron, TES pushed all three lanes. At this point, WE could not defend effectively. Therefore, TES finished Game 2 convincingly with a 25–10 score.
As a result, TES led the series 2–0.
Game 3: TES completely destroys WE and closes the series
Finally, Game 3 was the most dominant game of the series.
From the early game, TES controlled everything. They secured neutral objectives and pressured all lanes. Because of this, WE had no opportunity to recover.
Soon after, TES won another major teamfight around minute 20. As a result, they destroyed multiple turrets and expanded their lead.
Once again, Creme played a key role. He dealt massive damage and controlled teamfights.
Then, TES secured Baron. Immediately afterward, they pushed into WE’s base. Since WE lacked defensive power, they could not stop TES.
In the end, TES destroyed the Nexus and completed the 3–0 sweep.
Draft Analysis and Overall Pick/Ban Assessment
Throughout the series, TES drafted strong teamfight compositions. Most importantly, their drafts were balanced and easy to execute.
For example, TES selected:
- Strong mid lane carry champions
- Engage or control junglers
- Reliable late-game ADC
- Engage supports
Because of these picks, TES could start fights easily. In addition, their frontline protected their damage dealers.
As a result, Creme and the ADC could deal maximum damage safely.
On the other hand, Team WE struggled in draft.
Their compositions lacked reliable engage. Furthermore, they depended heavily on individual plays. In addition, their frontline was weak.
Because of these weaknesses, WE could not fight effectively when behind.
