On October 30, 2022, Beijing time, the S12 Global Finals semi-finals will usher in a showdown between JDG and T1 on this day. It is worth mentioning that because the top laners of these two teams have excellent performance and expectations in this World Championship, the top laner showdown in this game is also the most anticipated top laner showdown in S12.
top lane: 369 VS Zeus
369 is a very comprehensive top laner, and the changes in his hero pool this season have given JDG more tactical possibilities. I believe everyone can see the 369 Carry's functional style of playing is obvious to everyone; and T1's top laner Zeus is a top laner who is more inclined to Carry. Even because of Zeus' excellent laning and single-band ability, the four-one-point belt system of the T1 team is very terrifying. Compared with Zeus, 369 is obviously Zeus's laning ability, but the advantage that 369 has against Zeus is his hero pool and his more team-oriented style of play. So, whether the team wins or the ultimate offense is better, this game will bring us the answer.
jungler: Kanavi VS Oneer
Kanavi and Oner's style is actually just reversed from the styles of the two people, 369 and Zeus. Kanavi is a more carry-oriented jungle core style, while Oner is a more team style. But because of Kanavi's importance to JDG, Kanavi's jungle hero will definitely be targeted in this game. In such a situation, this game is likely to be a test for Kanavi's functional jungler.
Middle lane: Yagao VS Faker
Judging from the data of Yagao and Faker's current world competition, whether it is the participation rate, the average economic score, the average final score, or even the output proportion, these two players are very close. It can be said that Yagao and Faker's styles are also very similar. However, judging from the performance of the key games this season, Yagao's style of daring to fight undoubtedly gives JDG more possibilities in team battles. But even so, as the absolute leader of T1, Faker is still the most important player to be ignored in T1.
According to the analysis given by the professional e-sports event prediction platform, JDG obtained an index of 2.07 and T1 obtained an index of 1.76. From an index perspective, JDG is very close to T1.
Two-person road: Hope+Missing VS Gumayusi+Keria
The biggest difference between the two sides in this game may be the two-person road. Because judging from the current performance of the World Championship, although JDG successfully advanced to the semi-finals, the excessive mistakes of Hope and Missing cannot be ignored. T1's two-man road has performed much more stably in this World Championship, especially Gumayusi has the dominance of the spring season. So, for JDG, the two-way road may be the biggest test they face in this game. Because when facing a team of T1 level, if you make a minor mistake, you may be doomed.
Finally, friends, do you think JDG can successfully defeat T1 and advance to the finals?
