But the most exciting part of week six was not the double matches. Unsurprisingly, the most hyped up part of the week was the telecom wars. Considered the two best teams in the world, this was the first time SK Telecom T1 and KT Rolster met on the rift since the start of the season. Not only would these two series possibly decide who the best team in the LCK was, but the best team in the world. To find out the result of the telecom wars, check out this week’s recap.


SKT Comes Out On Top

Displaying their ability to comeback from large deficits, SKT managed to take down the Korean “super-team” in their two separate series this week. Despite SKT taking both series, though, the games were extremely competitive, especially in the first series. KT pushed SKT to their limits, finding early leads in almost every single game. If you were to replace SKT with any other team in the league, KT would have won both series with ease. But with patience and the combined efforts of almost every member on their eight man roster, SKT was able to find and punish small mistakes, eventually leading them to victory.

For KT, these two series served as an eye opener. Since their amazing raw talent/mechanics overpowered most opponents, KT has gotten away with making small positional and macro mistakes. Against SKT, though, these mistakes were almost always punished. Without these small mistakes by KT, SKT never could have made those amazing comebacks in the first series. If KT wants to beat SKT and secure the title as the best team in the world, these mistakes will need to be eradicated. Unfortunately, the next chance we have of seeing another telecom war won’t be until the playoffs.
