T1 Stars Directly Point Out Their Biggest Concern Right Now
Thus, for T1, the tough phase of the Summer 2024 tournament has temporarily passed, and their current goal is to aim for the playoffs and subsequently the 2024 World Championship. Of course, since this season, at least four other teams also have a solid basis to compete for a spot at the 2024 World Championship, the challenge for T1 is not small. However, in recent seasons, this team has often performed well when entering the playoffs. Therefore, the players may have higher confidence, and fans can feel more assured about their “darling” team in the upcoming BO5 matches.
Of course, there must be respect for the opponent because “knowing others and knowing yourself, you can win a hundred battles.” In interviews following their victory against BNK FearX, which was also T1’s last match in the LCK Summer 2024 group stage, both Gumayusi, Keria, and Oner all mentioned a name that could bring surprises. It is not Gen.G or Hanwha Life Esports – the teams that won both matches against T1 in the group stage – but KT Rolster, T1’s arch-rival in the “telecom battle.”
Promising a Tense Showdown Between T1 and KT
If Gumayusi believes that “KT is a team with many changes and is unpredictable, we need to always be cautious,” Keria and Oner provide more specifics. Keria shared: “Based on the changes we’ve seen so far, KT and we adapt well to this version. Therefore, in the coming week, whoever prepares better will be the key to victory. Given that many players in the KT team excel in BO5, we also need to focus throughout the match and strive to win.” Oner believes that T1 needs to maintain its performance if facing KT.
In reality, the likelihood of DK choosing FOX as their opponent in the first playoff match is quite high, and in that context, KT will clash with T1. The “telecom battle” seems unavoidable, and very likely, superstar moments will determine the outcome of the match, especially since both T1 and KT are very unpredictable against their opponents and their fans.
