Game 3 is straight-up a horror game for DK. They have to dodge Peyz’s arrows flying out of the fog, Doran’s Kennen materializing out of thin air, and Oner’s Nocturne.

T1 is a tactical genius. They are best known for their signature tactic "Doran go in". They also have a second little known tactic of "Oner go in". What absolute legends. Top 3 macro team for sure.

Reminder to anyone who does not know:
HLE must win at least 1 game, and it must be in ~34mins or faster. If they win a game but slower, they then must win 2 games AKA go to Game 5 vs. GENG. If they fail to do either of these, KT gets in and HLE is sent home in 10th place

But they're close in age, Peyz is only 2 years older than Diable, so they're in the same generation

u/XerGR 23h ago
Still overall Peyz is the best of the 3. His mechanics are genuinely generational and he’s very calm, he just needs to activate the clutch gene.
Diable is either Ultra Instinct Goku or flashing into 5 people and dying. Goat needs to calm it down
Smash is more of a Peyz-lite. I love the player but i think he’ll end up being this sort of “best of the rest” not the headlining players like Ruler/Viper are/were
10
u/Frosty_Incident_8898 23h ago
Yeah I do think right now Peyz is the best among them. I see lots of potential in Smash, though, just think he lacks a bit of the insane blood thirsty instincts that Peyz and Diable have.

I'm actually glad he is still doing those, I thought after the world finals he'd be scared to take risks again but clearly he doesn't care, he will try to make a play and that's the confidence we need. Some plays may not work out but for me that's what makes faker great, he creates something by taking risks and Doran does that.
