Perfect's Yorick Couldn't Stop T1's Comeback
In Game 1, KT's 'Perfect' Lee Seung-min turned heads with a superplay on Yorick, securing first blood by escaping a gank in spectacular fashion. 'Bdd' Kwak Bo-seong followed up with his Ryze, roaming top to pick up a second kill and tilting the top lane in KT's favor. However, despite the early advantage around Yorick, KT could not convert it into a game win. T1 consistently found engages away from Yorick's range, gradually shifted momentum, and closed out both games.
