JD Gaming’s star AD carry, Ruler, emphasized the importance of the upcoming bot lane matchup between himself and T1’s Gumayusi in the upper bracket final of Mid-Season Invitational 2023. Ruler believes that this duel will play a significant role in determining the outcome of the series, which is set to begin on May 18.
According to Ruler, the bot lane phase will be the deciding factor in the series between the champions of the LPL and LCK’s second seed.

He expressed his anticipation for a full-scale best-of-five series against T1, predicting that the match will go all the way to game five.
