Despite being in front of the LCS representative, Adam was completely `decoded` by TW, the reason is this

Before the match between Team BDS (BDS) and Team Whales (TW) took place, Adam was a very notable name of the LEC representative.

Adam is considered the most important factor of BDS at Worlds 2023

Even in the first match between BDS and TW, Adam also showed high performance with a convincing Darius performance.

Basically, BDS’s gameplay is to take advantage of Adam’s unique choices to create a snowball position in the middle of the game.

Darius in Adam’s hands snowballed too hard in game 1 and caused TW to lose

TW quickly realized this and made changes to the lineup.

Removing Darius and using TW’s K’Sante Top limited Adam’s ability to create mutations

Combining that with BDS constantly choosing Renekton first made the LEC representative unable to deploy his familiar stance.

The fact that Adam did not have a big advantage in the laning phase made BDS play very passively against TW

This greatly affected Adam’s playing mentality when he did not play well in game 3. This player also admitted that he could not keep his composure when he was defeated by TW in game 2 and

TW succeeded in decoding the Adam `phenomenon` and won an emotional victory

In short, with timely adjustments in gameplay and Top Lane champion selection, TW has succeeded in minimizing the power of the Adam phenomenon on the BDS side.
