Although the finals of the LCK Spring 2023 have taken place, the story surrounding the results is still discussed, recently a comment from SofM.
It can be said that since leaving LPL, SofM has contributed a lot of its opinions through broadcasts. The content he brings is mainly analysis and evaluation of the gameplay so that fans have a multi-dimensional view of the game. Not forgetting the 2023 LPL Spring Finals between Gen.G and T1, SofM had remarkable shares.

SofM ‘retell the old story’, ‘read the taste’ the move to help Gen.G win against T1
Accordingly, he admitted that Gen.G played well but had “played tricks” to win T1. Specifically, the former WBG member analyzed in games 1 and 2 of the finals, Gen.G intentionally used a few tricks to reduce T1’s laning advantage. First of all, Peanut in game 1 in the phase of trying to steal T1’s Blue buff. At that time, Gen.G had to lie down, but he made Zeus and Faker’s lane time clearly slow down.
Not only that, Faker’s Veigar also has to use Flash to get Peanut’s life. This is a disadvantage when Veigar is a less mobile champion, having to play with a forehand, more damaging Ahri and still have Chovy’s Flash intact.

Then in game 2, SofM also read the taste to see that Chovy, Delight and Peyz all did not hesitate to use their Flash in exchange for Gumayusi’s Flash and his large amount of health. Even Delight put Burning on Gumayusi. It was this that made the T1 couple unable to maximize their strength. Delight then had another phase of dust cover to attack Gumayusi and continued to make T1’s ADC far behind Peyz.

There is also sympathy, SofM said that in game 1, T1’s loss was not entirely Zeus’s fault, but it was Oner who was the culprit for the drop in performance. Sejuani’s level 3 top lane gank made Zeus lie down and Doran took the kill. Doran played right, but this situation caused Zeus to be completely outplayed from the game. In addition, Oner had an extra 1v1 phase with Doran in game 2 even though he no longer had his ultimate or Flash, so he was defeated.

In the end, SofM said that Gen.G must play tricks, which is understandable because T1 plays so well and promotes his champion qualities, especially the bot pair. So Gen.G has to invest a lot to “shutdown” T1’s bot lane is a must.
Even SofM said that the Gumayusi – Keria couple still played very well even though their other wings were pinched. Therefore, if Gen.G does not use the ability, it is difficult for Gen.G to win against T1, more likely, Oner will even drop in game 2. SofM thinks that T1 has a good pick and ban, they check the team’s limit but first The game they do not overwhelm the opponent should lose. Although T1 lost in this BO5 pair, they are still at a much higher level than Gen.G.
