T1 vs Royal Never Give Up

Yet another spectacular clash and a match-up that is bound to yield fireworks. A jaw-dropping, skirmish-heavy affair is pretty much guaranteed; if there's one game you really shouldn't miss, it's this one. Whenever LPL and LCK royalty face off, the world has a reason to tune in. These are some of the best and most capable players who've ever taken flesh and while they, too, are prone to making egregious mistakes, they are nonetheless worthy of our undivided praise attention.

And, needless to say, they are separated by astonishingly slim margins, the kind of which tends to shift and alter on a daily basis. Their first clash was about as competitive as possible, and there's not a doubt on our mind that this second one will follow suit and, in doing so, entertain the masses. There *is* a fairly large gap between them, though, and it pertains to their ability to adapt "on-the-fly". The meta has changed tremendously over the last two weeks or so, and T1, unfortunately, still haven't made the right adjustments. Heck, that feels like an understatement. They're still trying to "play their own game" and have found mixed success thus far.

Royal Never Give Up, on the other hand, are ahead of the curve in that regard, and they're also a fair bit more flexible as well. Their early game isn't the most impressive, but that's rarely an issue as they can teamfight like no one else in the world. GALA, in particular, has been putting on a clinic day after day, and has pretty much solidified his position as one of the best AD carries in the history of the game (which is really saying something). Bin is RNG's only weak link, but he, too, can carry his fair share of the weight whenever he is given a comfort pick and a bit of jungle attention.

Overall, RNG are much more well-rounded, and their flaws aren't nearly as exploitable. The way in which they set up objectives is also a cut above T1 who, for some odd reason, tend to throw around Baron almost on a daily basis. There are never any guarantees, of course, but if Royal Never Give Up draft well and get their most important catalysts on their preferred champions, they *should* be able to come out on top after a hard-fought battle with the LCK champions.
