Faker also has to admit
It can be said that the loss of Nongshim Redforce recently made T1's plan somewhat upside down. Obviously, in the context of the early end of the group stage with 2 victories in this week, T1 can only win a maximum victory over Oksavingsbank Brion when he suddenly “fell” to NS. Not to mention, the defeat of T1 also showed that their problems have long been intact: the unstable form of the players, the tactical choices of stubborn tactics despite the previous failure, or certain embarrassment when it was impossible to end the match early … all created a unfortunate defeat of T1 and Faker, who had to admit a pretty bad truth.
The defeat of NS can cause many calculations of T1 to be turned upside down
Faker shared the current T1 situation
Faker himself also acknowledged that the situation of T1 is still very difficult. In the interview after the match, Faker admitted: “We are still in a situation where we cannot win a place to attend the playoffs. So we have to try our best to prepare for the remaining matches.” In addition, Faker himself acknowledged that he had not completely removed Covid-19 but everything is still under control.
Faker also acknowledged that he was not really cured Covid-19
Obviously, if T1 won against NS and could win the match against Okbro on August 11, then everything would be simpler for the reigning team of World Championship 2023. They can take advantage of the opportunity for Faker to rest more, or test new tactics. In the current context, T1 must be tense until the match near the end. Even if continuing to play as in the last match, T1 had difficulty before Okbro had all the motivation, or Kwangdong Freecs – BNK Fearx was completely possible.
And Faker also cannot confirm that T1 will overcome the smooth playoffs
Of course, T1 is still full of opportunities to enter the playoffs. But the journey will not be easy anymore and their position when the group stage ends will also be able to decide their journey in the upcoming playoffs. T1 itself is not allowed to make a minor or subjective. Because, except Okbro, both KDF and Fox have goals and will not be afraid to make it difficult for T1 if this team gives them a chance.
