Entering the match against the first domestic champion in the “climbing” journey, and perhaps also the most “easy -going” opponent that T1 could face in the rest of MSI 2024, T1 is much appreciated and this is understandable. However, it is clear that TL does not show that they are an easy opponent. Even, there were some times in game 2, TL seemed to be able to win. If T1 does not own a thousand -year -old dragon, the team may be defeated as Faker's army.
T1 has passed TL not too favorable but generally still has a gap ratio
However, in the end, the most important goal has been accomplished is the neat victory and does not force T1 to release all the exercises. Not to mention, in this match, T1 has made Meta in turning the road thoroughly and gradually shows certain effects. Only in some moments is still a bit “matched” but the superior skills of the player has helped T1 overcome the difficult period to create an overwhelming position. Even in the game that TL has equalized, basically T1 lost when they did not have enough damage to defeat the tanker of TL.
TL has also made every effort
In the speech after the match, Gumayusi must also admit the biggest problem of T1: “In this meta, the island causes T1 to weaken and the meta is not suitable for us. T1 is a strong team in the road, but this island makes T1's” Win Lane Game “play cannot be operated anymore because the teams avoid lane with us. Therefore, we really have difficulty with the current meta and are still trying to adapt to it.”
Gumayusi admits that T1 is having many problems with Meta Road because this game can eliminate the strong point of T1 is to always win the opponent, thereby creating the “win lane win game” position.
What Gumayusi acknowledges that although bitter but is true. The current T1 is probably really a very weak T1 and they are trying to adapt to the uncomfortable island meta. The title pressure with MSI's short journey also makes T1 unable to choose the “weird” generals to test. Since then, T1's strategy has become ineffective and ineffective, especially for teams ready to create mutations.
The match against TL can be considered as a match for T1 to get acquainted with Meta
But anyway, the T1's climbing journey has started. G2 will be stronger than TL and sure, T1 will not be able to despise LEC's representative, especially when they are very excited after the LPL runner -up to win the right to continue at MSI this time.
