Upset Victory: Bbq OLIVERS Shatter SK Telecom T1’s Playoff Hopes
Bbq OLIVERS dealt a heavy blow to SK Telecom T1’s playoff aspirations with a surprising win against last year’s World Championship finalist.
Game One: Unlikely Strategy Pays Off for Bbq
Bbq, ranked second to last in the LCK standings, knew that they had to secure every victory to avoid the relegation tournament. In a bold move, Bbq opted for Ziggs mid in the first game, catching SKT off guard and earning them a well-deserved triumph.
Game Two: SKT Bounces Back
In game two, Bbq demonstrated strong macro play early on. However, their late-game decision making faltered, allowing SKT to turn the tide and secure a win. SKT’s mid laner, Faker, played a crucial role in their comeback with a powerful late-game Kassadin.
Game Three: Bbq’s Dominance
In game three, both Bbq and SKT stuck with their strategies from the previous match. Bbq continued their early-game dominance, maintaining a tight grip on their lead throughout the game. SKT’s reliance on a late-game composition proved fatal as Bbq sealed the deal, leaving SKT with no chance for a comeback.
With their remarkable performance, Bbq is one step closer to avoiding relegation. However, they face a formidable opponent in KT Rolster later this week on March 17.
