Faker's Rage Awakening Rate T1 changed his fate, CFO's strong counterattack dragged into the final game

On July 4, the MSI Mid-Season Championship knockout stage ushered in a focus battle, and the match between CFO and T1 was full of ups and downs. When CFO once took a 2-1 lead and T1 was on the verge of elimination, the legendary mid-lane Faker played Sylas and staged a "desperate explosion", leading all T1 members to enter the anger mode, and a wave of fierce attacks completely pulled back the rhythm of the game, successfully equalizing the score and dragging the game into the final decisive game.

In the crucial fourth game, T1 used a POKE consumption system with Rumble and Varus as the core on the blue side , and confused the opponent through the third swing position, and finally added Sylas and Prince in the second round to form a mid-term team battle burst system. CFO built a strong mid-term burst lineup around Cassiopeia and Jhin, assisted by the jungle and support team-opening combination of Wolf Mother, Scorpion and Titan, aiming to take the initiative in the mid-term team battle by reducing the number of players first.

At the beginning of the game, T1 went all out. Faker cooperated with the jungler in the jungle area and successfully locked the blood to lure the snake girl to kill her. Then he supported the top lane and crossed the tower and cooperated with Doran to kill the wolf mother, which opened up the rhythm. However, CFO was not powerless to fight back. HongQ in the middle lane killed the wolf mother again due to T1's line -changing strategy in the bottom lane , which almost caused it to collapse.

But in the middle of the game, CFO used the top and jungle to cross the tower to end Rumble's rhythm and get a key kill. However, Faker stepped up again, stole the snake girl's ultimate and played an explosive AOE in the top lane to cooperate with his teammates to complete a double kill. Then in the third dragon team battle, Oner entered the field and played a key reduction. T1 's economic advantage quickly expanded to more than 7,000 .

Although T1 seemed to have completely controlled the situation at this time, a series of " overconfident " operations gave CFO a chance to counterattack. Faker pushed too deep in the top lane and was killed by Cassiopeia. Then T1 started Ertahan in the bottom half, but CFO snatched it and killed it, and the situation began to become unstable.

At 24 minutes, T1 forced to chase and was caught by CFO . Although they killed key positions, three of their own team were also killed. Obviously, their emotions affected their operations. At 26 minutes, although T1 took the little dragon, they encountered CFO's perfect counterattack and were wiped out. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse. The game entered a white-hot stage. At 32 minutes , T1 killed CFO's top laner and support and tried to take the dragon soul, but CFO's mid and jungle forcibly killed Faker . Then a multiplayer team battle broke out between the two sides. There were casualties on both sides but they failed to control the dragon soul. At 34 minutes, the two sides exchanged fierce fire in the jungle again. T1 had a slight advantage but the advantage was not stable.

The final decisive team battle at the 37th minute became the watershed of the game. At the critical moment, Faker went around and cut Jhin to complete the instant kill, helping T1 to kill the team and win the game in one wave, successfully dragging the game into the deciding game with an ups and downs victory.

Throughout the game, T1 showed a strong offensive intention and sense of pressure, especially Faker 's state was amazing, but the frequent mistakes also gave CFO a chance to win. It must be said that CFO is a very resilient team, which was able to kill many teams and fight with T1 until 37 minutes. Its strength should not be underestimated. The overall strength of the current MSI is very close. The LCK region has exposed certain shortcomings in operation, which also laid the groundwork for subsequent games.
