T1 Achieves a Record Hard to Break Against TES
T1 entered the match against Top Esports with a 50-50 mindset from the audience. After all, their only loss at this year’s World Championship so far was against TES in the Swiss round. However, in this rematch, T1’s innate ability as the “LPL’s Slayer” came into play. They had no difficulty convincingly defeating the representatives of Chinese League of Legends with a score of
Notably, in game 2 of the match, T1 even secured a “clean” victory without losing a single kill. This is truly an impressive achievement for T1, considering TES’s lineup (including Viego, Galio, Sylas, Ezreal) features champions with strong engage and assassin skills. It can be said that this match showcased T1’s perfection in macro play, skills, and game control.
T1 Also Sends a “War Letter” to Gen.G
T1’s victory not only holds significance in terms of results but can also be seen as a “warning shot” to all their remaining opponents at the 2024 World Championship. Particularly, this can be viewed as a “war letter” sent to Gen.G – the team that has the easiest matchup in the Quarterfinals. It’s hard to imagine that Gen.G could lose to FlyQuest. Therefore, T1’s victory also serves as a “message” to the reigning MSI champions in the Semifinals.
Additionally, T1’s bans and picks indicate that the 2023 meta is gradually returning. Of course, T1 cannot be complacent as Gen.G is a much stronger opponent, having defeated them 10 times in a row. Therefore, the Semifinal could be considered a “premature final” and the team that wins will have a very high chance of claiming the championship.
