Famous male streamer confirms the finals matchup for LCK Summer 2024 after T1’s victory
By defeating Dplus KIA in the first match of the lower bracket, T1 has continued their journey in the LCK Summer 2024 playoffs. In fact, this can be considered a victory with a significant score, but it was also quite challenging for T1. The DK team showed that they are not a name that can be easily “bullied” and almost forced T1 to drag the match to a fifth game. Not to mention, the T1 players themselves had moments of distraction or somewhat arrogant gameplay. But in any case, T1’s objective has been achieved, and their next opponent will be a much stronger Hanwha Life Esports than DK.
However, despite having a strong opponent ahead, according to the famous streamer LS, the finals of LCK Summer 2024 can already be considered confirmed with two contenders: “Even if you’re scared and trying to escape from it, the reality is that T1 and Gen.G will meet again.” Previously, as we know, Gen.G secured the first spot in the finals of LCK Summer this year after defeating HLE with a score of 3-1 in the recent winners’ finals.
Difficult but not impossible for T1
In fact, T1 in Summer 2024 will find it hard to “assume” the remaining spot in the LCK finals as they have shown in many previous domestic playoff rounds. HLE is a strong team with individuals showing good form. In fact, in Summer 2024, HLE has been undefeated against T1. But of course, difficult does not mean impossible. Especially when we look back at the history of 2023 when KT Rolster was also undefeated against T1 until they lost in the very first match of the LCK Summer 2023 playoffs. The team that defeated them back then was T1 – a team that no one thought would win.
Furthermore, T1 is currently in a position where they have nothing to lose. They either advance to the finals as the second representative of LCK to participate in the Worlds 2024 or drop to the regional qualifiers. But regardless of the path taken, Faker and his teammates only have one chance in the match against HLE if they do not want to fall into a risky bracket and potentially miss the opportunity to defend their Worlds title even before reaching London.
