Overview of T1 vs HLE at League of Legends Worlds 2021
Match Predictions
HLE had a below average summer split in the 2021 season of League of Legends’ LCK. The team came into the play-in stage and managed to win every match apart from the one against Li-Ning Gaming (LNG). However, once the team qualified for the group stages, they turned around their performances significantly.
The team defeated Fnatic, PSG Talon as well as Royal Never Give Up (RNG). They were known for their individual performances and an over reliance on Chovy. However, HLE has proven that they can play as a team when the need arises and every other player within the team can step-up if needed.
T1 was a team who were criticized for inconsistency. Apart from their over reliance on Faker, analysts often claimed that the team managed to throw away games from winning positions. T1 after showcasing significant early game dominance, would end up losing games due to poor shot-calling.
In fact, one major problem with this team was lack of a backup plan which made other teams read them quite easily. Once League of Legends Worlds 2021 started, T1 showed that they are different. After a loss to Edward Gaming (EDG) in the first round-robin stage, they upgraded themselves and ended up defeating them in the second stage.
T1 eventually topped Group B with 5 wins and 1 loss, thereby showcasing that they are ready to win it all the way.
As for predictions, HLE and T1 have evolved so much that their earlier criticisms don't hold up anymore. Regardless, HLE still ends up struggling after the laning phase. The team needs a push and relies a lot on enemies making mistakes.
T1 however, makes their own plays and their jungler Oner can start snowballing right from the word go. Therefore, T1 is statistically favoured to win this match, even though it might look close at times.
