DAWNBRINGER: Worlds Daily, October 6

Welcome to Dawnbringer, your daily recap of the 2021 League of Legends World Championship from the bleary eyes and chilled fingers of a ever-more-rapidly-approaching-middle-aged man in the Godforsaken Pacific time zone. Yes, my alarm was set for 3:35 AM today. Thank you for asking.

Every day of Worlds competition, I’ll post a brief rundown of each game, along with some larger takeaways about the team and player performances we’re seeing and what it might mean for the rest of the tournament.

Tarzan FB gank, but HLE farm out early, maintain vision, get neutrals. HLE play too slow; LNG punish their pushes with combos on frontline, fights -> Barons.
