Overview
1st Quarter-Finals
T1 was the favorite going into this best of 5 series, but people still expected Hanwa Life Esports to put up a fight against the juggernauts. Unfortunately, it looked like T1 had done their homework on their opponents as Faker and team never allowed the Deft and Chovy, HLE’s main damage dealers, to become effective in any game.
2nd Quarter-Finals
As both teams were from the LPL region, the odds were slightly in favor of Royal Never Give Up. Yet EDward Gaming overcame their curse and defeated RNG 3-2 to qualify for the Worlds Semi-Finals for the first time. The 1st match was won by RNG but the next two went to EDG. RNG bounced back in the 4th match but EDG had the last laugh as they closed the final game and won the series.
3rd Quarter-Finals
When you are up against Damwon KIA, the last year defending champions who are currently on an undefeated streak, it can be highly stressful. We could see it in MAD Lion’s gameplay as Armut and Humanoid who are known for being fearless, were making mistakes or being kept in check by the entire Damwon KIA team. Carzzy was never able to outclass Ghost in the marksman position and Khan was brilliant in every team fight. Damwon is continuing their undefeated streak in the Worlds 2021.
4th Quarter-Finals
Both Gen.G and Cloud 9 have been quite inconsistent in their Group Stage matches. Cloud 9 proved to be disappointing unlike their last run at the Group Stage. In every game, both teams committed slight mistakes and looked to be out of form. Still, Gen.G, the LCK representative, maintained discipline in all three games against Cloud 9. Clid and Bdd outshined Blaber and Perkz respectively in ganks, objectives, and team fights. Even if Cloud 9 got a lead at some point, they were never able to capitalize on it. Thus all three matches were won by Gen.G because they performed better than Cloud 9.
