In the previous winners’ finals match between Gen.G and T1, both teams delivered a thrilling match with a spectacular 5-game series. Therefore, when Gen.G and T1 met again in the Grand Finals, many neutral viewers hoped for a similar outcome. Clearly, the decisive match for the title would be much more exciting if it were filled with tension.
However, Gen.G seemed to disappoint neutral viewers as they swiftly defeated T1 with a score of 3-0. What’s more noteworthy is that in all three games, Gen.G appeared to dominate their opponent in skill execution and team fights. In fact, many viewers bluntly stated that Gen.G was “superior” to their opponents right from the approach to the game.
“If you pay a little attention, you will notice that Gen.G chose three different approaches to defeat T1. In game 1, they used a traditional 3-core lineup. Gen.G played slowly in game 2, conceding the game to T1, only to ‘turn the tables’ during team fights. Game 3 featured an aggressive playstyle in the Bottom Lane with Nilah and Rakan. Gen.G truly ‘outperformed’ T1 in this match,” a viewer shared.
Indeed, the Gen.G players showed excellent form in the recent Grand Finals. This allowed Gen.G to choose various team compositions and approaches to the game while still finding advantages against T1. The 3-0 victory of Gen.G over T1 somewhat reflects this team’s superiority over their opponents.
As for T1, they need to seriously reassess their recent loss to draw significant lessons for the future. Despite failing in the LCK, T1 still has another important and prestigious goal ahead, namely the World Championship (Worlds) 2023. They need to quickly overcome this recent defeat if they want to pursue the goal of seeking the world championship title.
