T1 has only 1 way left
If after the first leg of the Gen.G in the group stage of the Regular Seasons 2025, someone said that T1 would be the counterweight of Hanwha Life Esports for the top 2 group stage and then the MSI 2025, will receive a lot of criticism and sarcasm. But at the present, that is happening. T1 shows a strong revival when the key superstructure. Meanwhile, HLE is somewhat “short of breath” at the end of the group stage. These two factors make the Top 2 battle after Gen.G extremely “hot”.
T1 has the opportunity to rise to the top 2 of the Regular Seasons 2025
Recently, on some forums, there were discussions in case T1 could beat both HLE and NS with the same score 2-0 in the last week of the group stage. At that time, if HLE won the final match (against BNK Fearx) with a score of 2-0, both teams will be equal to the difference of victory – defeat. At this time, the top 2 position will be more tense.
However, for those who do not know, in the history of this League, this has happened many times, and it is really rare in the past few years. For example, LCK Spring 2020, then T1, Gen.G and Drx all have the same difference No. 14-4 when the end of the group stage. However, the Drx ranked third because of the bad difference of victory – defeat.
T1 absolutely has the opportunity when this team is in good form and HLE is quite fluttering
However, T1 has only one road that is the remaining 2 matches with the same score 2-0. At the beginning of the season, leading to the team of the team's poor performance in the period of instability has brought more harmful consequences than imagination. But T1 itself must ensure the best results for them, before looking forward to other teams.
Battle T1 – HLE will decide all
In this context, the match T1 – HLE will decide the position of both teams. Because, just T1 lost 1 game in the match, including the final victory, the results were arranged. Meanwhile, if HLE lost, they had to lose 2-0. Even, including losing to T1, the right to be determined to be in the hands of HLE when the opponent of the last match is only Fox is unstable after a series of “catching cards”.
If T1 takes advantage of good opportunities from the beginning of the season and does not lose the unfortunate matches against Fox or Okbro, now it can be more comfortable
Therefore, the 2nd battle is quite dramatic and the decision is even in the hands of much weaker teams like NS or Fox. But T1's ability is lower than HLE when they are not allowed to lose any more games.
