T1 has put themselves on match point after a dominant victory in game three. They have awoken in the LCK series on the back of Oner’s jungle dominance. Oner was given another carry champion, while BeryL locked in Rammus support on R5. BeryL’s pick did not work out on the side of DK, as he was the target. T1 surged to a significant gold lead, and despite a fight back, DK could not get close.
DK picked the red side in game four of this pivotal series. BeryL picked Rammus support, which is the first time the champion has been selected in the LCK. What can BeryL do on this champion that has shocked the world?

T1’s plan for the early game was clear. Put pressure on the DK bot lane so they do not have summoners. With that advantage, T1 targeted BeryL on multiple occasions. All the kills went to Oner again, giving another game for him to carry T1 to victory. It went from bad to worse as T1 built a 10k gold lead before DK could fight back.
In the mid-game, DK managed to garner multiple kills and stabilized the gold lead. However, they never made a dent in the gold, only keeping themselves afloat. Even with a fight win where they killed Faker and Gumayusi, they barely won it and did not get anything from it. T1 forced DK to come to the Cloud Soul fight, and they dominated to win the game and the series.

The concerns were that T1 would not qualify for the World Championship and would not get a chance to defend their back-to-back titles. They put those concerns to bed with a dominant 3-1 series victory. Games one and two were close, but DK never stood a chance once T1 got control. T1 advances to the next round to face GenG for better seeding, while DK’s LCK year is over.
