Bowl achievement of t1
Thus, recently, Nongshim Redforce became the next name to join the list of “The teams defeated T1” this season. Even, the score of the match is even more surprising when the T1 defeated 0-2 bitterly, while NS is just a team that is ranked at the bottom of the table and it is difficult to have the opportunity to compete in the Summer LCK Playoffs 2024. It was at the summer of 2023, when Faker was absent nearly a month due to injury.
T1 continues to lose a much weaker opponent than them
In fact, many opinions can identify T1 will not lose to NS if the players play in accordance with their abilities. However, there are also some issues that are indicated, that T1 in their defeats against weaker opponents this season (BNK Fearx, Nongshim Redforce) do not play with the psychology of the upper door teams and also do not really have consistent tactics, in accordance with the strengths of each member.
T1 too obstinate?
No one understands why Gumayusi is a player using Yasuo in game 1 while this general is in the form of a lot of resources and very dependent on teammates to be able to make the enemy destruction combo. Meanwhile, the whole T1 team has only Wukong is the best coordination with Yasuo and NS has no difficulty to “shut down” the two most stable players T1 over the past time. Even when Oner – Gumayusi tried to create mutations (in the situation in Baron cave) was also inconvenient when only one rain rocket was NS that wasolated two T1 players with the rest.
T1's gameplay is too easy to catch cards
In addition, it is also two consecutive turns to Kennen for Zeus, while the parameters have clearly displayed the top player of T1 using this general ineffective in the group stage this year. Moreover, Kennen is currently very easy to overcome. Despite the strong skill set, but as long as the opponent has an exhaustion, it is enough to reduce more than 50% of Kennen's effectiveness in a fight. Not to mention, if the opponent holds a good position, Kennen is almost unable to make a thunderstorm of two or more targets. The evidence is clear: Zeus's Kennen can only put the combo to defeat Jiwoo's Ezreal, the rest cannot set any really beautiful fighting phase.
Kennen is Zeus's least effective general in the summer of 2024 but still used
Obviously, T1 retains some of the same tactical styles as before, instead of flexible according to the opponent as they have shown in Worlds 2023. A strong T1 in recent years has never been a T1 in the meta that they themselves have to find ways to overcome those meta. No one understands why T1 constantly handed Corki or Tristana (in the middle of the Gunner player) to Faker when he was clear that he could not carry the team like the old days. Or Gumayusi must use the generals that require a lot of strong conditions (such as Senna) while he himself often has to “self -reliant”. Gumayusi himself also showed how he was excellent when using pure ad generals (Jhin, Draven or Kalista, Caitlyn and recently Xayah).

Calculating the defeat of NS, this was the second defeat of T1 against an opponent that when confronted with Faker and his teammates, they were in the top of the rankings. Knowing that these teams themselves are more efforts and determination than usual, but T1 does not show that they are a strong team like them who still do regularly in previous seasons. The rhythmic coordination, the standard macro is the strength of T1 seems to disappear completely when they no longer control the game.
The loss of NS is the second time T1 lost to a last team, but in fact in the match, they completely had the opportunity to win if they changed right after the game losing
Loyal to tactics, even a little obstinate to find effective directions is essential. But T1 does not play the style that suits them, and has not shown signs of change, it may be a “double -edged sword” that makes the players pay expensive when the decisive stage of the season is coming very close.
