As of now, we have gradually identified the champions of the Spring Split tournament who will participate in the upcoming MSI 2022. Among these teams, T1 and G2 Esports are the most notable due to their established reputations and relatively unique championship journeys. Additionally, both T1 and G2 have a rich history of rivalry, and fans are eagerly anticipating this match.
G2 Esports understands this well, so right after winning the LEC Spring 2022, they immediately challenged T1 directly. Specifically, after their victory, G2 crossed out Rogue as a way to show they had defeated this team. Above that was the name of T1, indicating that G2’s next target is to take down the reigning LCK champions.
After that, the video and images became extremely popular, and even T1 players have seen it. In response to this challenge, T1’s Support, Keria, recently stated on stream that they have begun analyzing G2 Esports’ playstyle and he is confident that they will teach the “circus” from LEC a lesson. The strange thing is that upon seeing this video, G2’s Jankos was delighted, even shouting with joy, rather than feeling provoked at all.
G2 Jankos: “Alright, let’s see what Keria has to say. Oh wow, he said T1 has started analyzing our playstyle and is going to teach us a lesson. Do you know what this means? It means they (T1) see us as a threat. Not every team can do that.”
For a professional team with a strong roster like T1, researching powerful opponents is a must to conquer titles. Clearly, among the teams confirmed to participate in MSI 2022, G2 Esports is the strongest as the champions of LEC Spring 2022. Meanwhile, the LPL tournament has just completed the Semifinals, and the LCS still has a long way to go before determining its champion.
Moreover, both Faker and the T1 organization have learned a lesson that they will not forget when they did not thoroughly research G2 Esports’ playstyle and boldness in the past. Perhaps Faker still remembers vividly the sad memories of facing G2 Esports’ Top Lane Pyke or ADC Yasuo back in 2019. Therefore, G2 is even more of a target for T1 to study in order to prepare the best for the upcoming MSI 2022.
