Currently in the LCK Spring 2022, Gen.G Esports and T1 are the two highest-rated teams. With the changes during the offseason transfer window of the 2021 season, this assessment seems quite accurate. Moreover, both teams have shown a remarkably stable performance up to now. While T1 has achieved three relatively easy consecutive victories, Gen.G has also proven its championship potential by defeating DWG KIA, the reigning LCK 2021 champion.
However, despite the good results and Gen.G currently leading the standings, former star player Bdd does not believe that his old team is the strongest name. According to what Bdd shared in a recent interview, it is actually Faker’s T1 that is the strongest team in the LCK Spring 2022 right now.
Specifically, when asked about the upcoming opponent T1, Bdd stated: “T1 is currently the strongest team in the LCK. We have been defeated by them many times during practice, and the results back then were quite bad. But now we are doing better, so I think we will be able to win.”
It can be said that Bdd holds T1 in high regard, even above his former team, which is currently gathering many top players like Peanut, Chovy… However, it must also be acknowledged that Nongshim RedForce, led by Bdd, is considered the most worthy challenge for T1 since the LCK Spring officially started. Putting aside their surprising loss to Hanwha Life Esports in their opening match, Bdd and his teammates have since secured three consecutive victories. The most notable was their victory over DK, allowing them to continue chasing T1 and Gen.G in the standings.
The showdown in the third week of LCK Spring 2022 will be incredibly noteworthy. However, before facing each other, T1 will meet Liiv SANDBOX on the last match day of the second week. A victory will help T1 extend their lead while putting pressure on Bdd and his teammates.
