Gumayusi's Nilah fearlessly charges in to initiate the fight, Zeus's Olaf scores a pentakill, T1 takes the lead
Live broadcast on August 24: The LCK Summer Playoffs continue today! The second match of the first round is the old rivals T1 versus KT!
In the first game, KT proactively swapped lanes, but their bot lane was first to lose three turret plates to T1's Nilah and Senna! T1 had the advantage in the laning phase, but at 20 minutes, Faker's Azir made a mistake with his ultimate, leading to the loss of Baron. However, in the following dragon fight, Gumayusi's Nilah bravely initiated, helping Zeus's Olaf secure a pentakill and turn the economic deficit around! In the subsequent game, Gumayusi's Nilah had some mixed initiations, first in mid lane which allowed KT to secure the second Baron! Later, in the final dragon soul fight, Oner's Lillia stole the dragon, and Gumayusi's Nilah's good initiation split the battlefield, allowing T1 to secure a 1-for-4 trade and end the first game, taking the first point!
