Welcoming the opponent is just a BNK Fearx team that is ranked in the lower half of the rankings, T1 is expected to have a victory to close the first leg of the LCK group in the summer of 2024 in the best way possible. However, the development of 3 games is really beyond the prediction of many people. No one thinks the team has a long losing series, even defeated before even weaker T1 teams (Drx, Kwangdong Freecs) can make the earthquake in front of the EWC 2024 champion.
T1 is not in good form
Specifically, Fox showed a completely different side of them in previous matches when confronted with T1. In 2 games Fox won, they completely destroyed Faker and his teammates. Even Fox is also the second team (the first team is Gen.G) in the past few years can win against T1 in a “clean” game (T1 can not have themselves any defeated network in the third decision game). This victory does not affect the ranking of the two teams but it makes T1 criticize.
Recently, T1 continued to defeat against Fox
Immediately after the defeat, the audience flooded the post to update the ratio of T1 to show frustration. In particular, the most serious error is agreed by the audience, that T1 has been too “stubborn” in the ban. Gumayusi obviously not really achieved the highest performance with the Ezreal general. Meanwhile, T1 selected Tristana for Faker. Worth mentioning, the reality in game 1 proved: If T1 has no advantage at the beginning of the match, the Tristana – Ezreal combo of T1 cannot be operated. Over here, Faker and his teammates selected these “short” generals in the decisive game. In particular, this is also a significant factor that makes T1 lose the Championship Championship 2022.
The audience also expressed the most frustration and factor mentioned is the ban on T1
– If Guma still doesn't improve Ezreal and plays better, do not choose that champion anymore, let him use another gunner. In addition, ONER needs to try harder because if you meet Canyon or Peanut, the results will be repeated. Come on, play better, ban/choose better, seraphine is not suitable for that squad, improve and become the best person.
– I am not even disappointed now. Why? Because I know you are testing new things and not in the best state. Take a break and come back stronger in the second round. There are too many errors, take advantage of the opportunity to look back at the mistakes and correct them.
– I don't know what to say about today. The banned/choice idea may be effective if done properly but it seems that it does not appear. Hope to be better prepared for the next match! Good luck!
– Losing the match worthy because of the ban/choice of bad, not adapting and being weaker by the team that surpasses Macro, unacceptable.
In the remaining match of this week, T1 will reunite Hanwha Life Esports – the team destroyed T1 itself last week. And indeed, a dark prospect is waiting for T1 if they continue to repeat the prohibition of choosing and playing the same way as in the last match against Fox – a team that cannot be assessed on par with T1, both in the past and present.
