(Homeland) - Ming endured a regrettable clash against T1 in the Quarterfinals of Worlds 2022.
As we approach the conclusion of the current World Championship 2022, the Semifinals are set to begin in a few days. World 2022 is considered one of the most captivating, featuring exciting gameplay, team performances, and a diverse champion pool. Except for the JD Gaming (JDG) versus Rogue (RGE) match, the remaining three matchups are highly anticipated.
The focal point, T1 versus Royal Never Give Up (RNG), concluded swiftly with a 3-0 victory for Faker and teammates. Despite the quick outcome, the match retained its allure. Across all three games, both teams showcased distinctive strategies, accompanied by impressive displays of skill and match control. The superior team emerged victorious, but RNG put in commendable efforts.
Notably, Ming, the seasoned Support player for RNG, set an unwanted record in this match. In the first game, Ming chose Nautilus to face T1's duo, Gumayusi - Keria. However, T1's excellent choice of Heimerdinger for Keria in the Support role proved effective. This decision completely neutralized Nautilus, as the Q - Dredge Line ability had difficulty reaching opponents amidst Heimerdinger's turrets.
Due to this, Ming's Nautilus set a record for the slowest damage dealt in a game. It wasn't until the 22nd minute, in a skirmish near the Baron pit, that Ming's Nautilus first touched an opponent, dealing 509 damage. This achievement underscores Ming and RNG's utter helplessness in the first game against T1.
Additionally, by putting an experienced player like Ming in a tight spot, T1 showcased their multitude of strategies to deal with opponents at Worlds 2022. In the upcoming matches, T1 will face JDG, a team in good form and with higher stature than RNG. However, T1 is undoubtedly gearing up with the best preparations for the upcoming crucial Semifinal.
