One detail shows that T1 really “hid songs” at CTKG 2024
Typically, training matches or climbing ranks are an opportunity for new tactical testing teams. However, in some tournaments such as MSI, Worlds or domestic leagues such as LCK, a team may have very strange homework when fighting. And T1 at Worlds 2024 is a typical example.
Recently, it was the T1 CEO in an online interview that shared the ratio of the home team through each Worlds season. Accordingly, in 2022 and 2023, the winning rate of T1's practice came from 78 – 80%. But at Worlds 2024, they only won 48% in the practice. An incredible figure that raises the question of T1 really “hidden”.
T1 has a very low winning ratio of winning to once again affirm the question of this team “hidden”
Perhaps many viewers still remember, in a sharing about the situation of T1, former coach EDG – Kenzhu said that this team was “very chaotic”. According to the coach from LPL, T1 often won or lost very quickly. Although still leaving a few suggestions, but almost the teams did not grasp too much from T1, except for some information that everyone was as clear as “Gumayusi and Oner were extremely dangerous, and had to absolutely block this duo”.
T1's episode win rate at Worlds 2024 is only 48%
“After all, I think a team like T1 has no obligation to reveal all the exercises during the practice. In the end, it is also a strategy,” an audience commented. Some other comments argue that T1 lost because sometimes they tested “strange” squads.
And T1 has shown that “hidden cards” can also be a reasonable tactic
In essence, the practice does not show all the tactics or performance of a team. Moreover, the teams when fighting together in a tournament like MSI, Worlds will also be wary of because the opponent can completely become a competitor in the future. Therefore, the fact that teams are not fully powerful is completely understandable.
But hiding songs like T1 is also a form of tactics
Therefore, there are teams that will have a very high winning ratio, but when the real battle is not effective. And vice versa, a team has a winning rate of less than 50%, but crowned the final championship.
