Thus, T1’s journey at MSI 2024 has ended with a 3-2 defeat against Bilibili Gaming. This is a disappointing result for T1, but completely understandable. In the decisive game, T1 was unable to stop a very strong Bin with the champion Camille, who did not die even once. In fact, it can be said that the decisive game witnessed a 1v5 situation from Bin against the members of T1. As soon as he used Camille’s combo, at least one T1 player had to go down. Faker and his teammates fell apart, and the loss was a natural consequence.
However, it can be said that T1 had a very good early game in game 5 when they leveraged their laning strength, combined with appropriate roaming. Despite this, all T1 could do was create certain difficulties for BLG. Once Bin officially had enough items and levels to 1v5, T1 lost control of the game. But before reaching this situation, it must be said: the decisive fight of the match helped Bin officially surpassed T1, a success thanks to a player who didn’t even participate in that fight, namely ON – BLG’s Support.
Specifically, just as BLG and T1 were about to engage, Zeus was pushing Bottom Lane but ON actively sought to intercept Zeus’s Teleport. At that moment, Zeus was the only player who could absorb damage from Camille. The absence of K’Sante caused T1 to collapse, even though Zeus still managed to solo kill ON. It can be said that this was truly the “fatal blow” that led to T1’s defeat.
Bin himself did not disappoint his teammates as he increasingly gained an advantage and helped BLG have a superior game against T1. The rest of the match witnessed Bin’s impressive “carrying” of the team. The victory was inevitable, as Bin also empowered his teammates and created complete dominance over T1.
T1 lost due to just one situation, but this is understandable in matches where both sides have a balanced game. The victory for BLG is well-deserved, and this will also serve as a valuable lesson for Zeus and T1 in the future.
