DAMWON KIA vs T1 League of Legends LCK 2022 Summer Split: Head-to-head, livestream details, and more

sportskeeda.com:

The second game of Round 2 of the League of Legends LCK 2022 Summer Split will be between DAMWON KIA and T1. It is a game that several fans will be eagerly waiting for as the rivalry between both sides has reached new heights in the past few years.

The problem, however, is that even though the rivalry has enhanced, DAMWON KIA's quality has dropped massively in 2022. T1 has risen to the top, while their opponent has been spiraling since the 2021 Worlds finals loss to Edward Gaming.

Hence, the chances of this game being competitive are meager. However, in League of Legends, many things can happen, so nothing should be taken for granted at any time.

T1 has enjoyed a terrific run at the League of Legends LCK 2022 Summer Split until this point. Obviously, it was not as dominant as the run the team made during the Spring Split, but it was still quite commendable.

The issue that T1 faced after the Mid Season Invitational was that the meta changed massively. This made the botlane of T1 a lot weaker compared to how it was back during the Spring Split.

Gumayusi and Keria dominated every other player in March and April. However, their forms dipped significantly during the Summer Split, especially the former.

It seems the Kalista, Draven, and Zeri meta did not suit him as much as the Aphelios and Jinx meta.

Besides that, Oner also seems to be struggling a bit after Lee Sin took a massive hit because of the durability patch. The only players who still looked strong were Faker and Zeus, and, in truth, both were instrumental in a lot of wins that T1 gathered during the Summer Split.

On the other hand, DAMWON KIA has been average. The team is filled with terrific players like Showmaker, Canyon, and Nuguri, arguably some of the world's best.
