It can be said that, since the LCK Spring Final 2023, Gen.G has really become a “rival” and is the crystal of T1. Because, T1 can win all opponents, but whenever they encounter gen.g, they all have many difficulties and the latest victory of T1 before ChoVy and his teammates from MSI 2023.
T1 has a comprehensive defeat against Gen.g
According to many viewers, Gen.G can lose to any team, as they fail twice in two international tournaments in a row against Bilibili Gaming, but for T1 they have won. This proves that Gen.G always pays special attention to T1 and can be said to be Faker research and teammates very carefully. Even the audience joked: “Gen.G spends all the time just studying how to defeat T1”.
“The result when you spend all the time just to find a way to win T1. It's not surprising!”
This thought was really just a joke, but recently, in the interview after the T1 victory, Lehends assisted: “There is a time when I spend all day studying the play of the bottom line T1. Therefore, the turn (Lucian – Nami) is not too unexpected. But sometimes I find it a bit difficult when they have too many options.”
Lehends also admitted that he spent all day studying the game below T1 but really had many difficulties
Lehends' disclosure can contribute to confirming one thing: Gen.G really puts attention and attaches great importance to the match with T1 more than any other opponent. Perhaps, for Gen.G, the victory of T1 – the team is always considered the top candidate for every tournament they attend, will be the best way to confirm the strength and ambition. Not to mention, T1 is the most attractive League of Legends team today. And therefore, a victory over T1 will be able to help Gen.G to achieve the desired communication effects.
T1 victory is more meaningful than achievements on the rankings
In addition, Gen.G victory T1 will probably impact more or less the psychology of Faker and his teammates. Therefore, Gen.G is determined to win against the great rival is understandable and perhaps completely serving the goals of the defending LCK champion in every journey they need to conquer.
