Royal Never Give Up vs T1

A clash of titans, is what this is. There's really no other way to label it. Two teams at the peak of their powers, two staggeringly capable giants, and also two contenders who happened to have lost to G2 Esports mere hours ago. They're still amongst the most dangerous and able, but we'd be remiss if we didn't say that a bit of shine was taken off their proverbial wheels.

Then again, it was just a single game, and the fact that they lost should in no way diminish their tremendous hype and overall momentum. Perhaps now we can observe them a bit more rationally, without talking them up to no end, without singing their praises as if they were the next best thing since sliced bread.

They're amazing, there's no doubt about it, but they, too, can "bleed" and lose, as evidenced just a little while ago. They're also not necessarily any worse than G2 either -- there's a very real chance that it was nothing but a "slip up," a momentary set-back that'll lead to their tremendous rebound. It is, by all means, a likely scenario.

They're equal in terms of strength and potential. That much is a fact. We will, however, side with the underdogs on this one; they might not be as potent and capable in the early game but their teamfighting is out of this world (matched perhaps only by G2), and that could, by all means, end up being the difference-maker.
