In the second half of the LCK group stage 2024, T1 encountered many difficulties that the beginning was the defeat to Gen.G in the second leg. In that defeat, T1 showed an unbelievable weakness. No one thinks the team is considered as a champion candidate may not even take a defeated life in a game. After that, T1 continued to face difficulties against the other Dplus and continued to receive another defeat to Hanwha Life Esports. Fortunately for Faker and his teammates to finally preserve the second position after the LCK LCK group stage 2024 ended.
T1 has gone through the late stage of the LCK group in the 2024 Spring LCK quite difficult
One of the reasons given then is that Riot banned the Azir champion due to the appearance of a shift supplement. For anyone who did not know, Azir had a serious mistake that helped this general have a few stealth seconds as soon as he finished his movement. Worth mentioning, for professional players, sometimes it takes a few seconds to be able to decide the results of a fight with Azir as a very strong make play. Therefore, many people said that Faker was no longer Azir (which was a forte), which has made it difficult for T1 to have difficulties in implementing familiar play.
The situation that Azir has just moved is invisible, many people think that the cause of Riot must temporarily lock this champion
And right before the LCK LCK playoffs 2024, T1 received the good news when the general Azir was “opened” by Riot. Accordingly, the version used for the playoffs will be the 14.6 update, including the patch of this version. And Azir is expected to be not only professional but also mentally meaningful to Azir's forte like Faker or ChoVy.
Azir will return from the Spring LCK playoffs 2024 in the patch of 14.6
Before the information Azir returned, T1 received a lot of unfavorable news. First, this team was still attacked by hackers. All members were at least once said they had DDOS while climbing the rank and this always affects the players playing with them at that time and even forcing the T1 players to temporarily suspend livestream for a while. After that, the turn of General Rell was “Nerf” was extremely powerful and almost completely erased from the jungle role. Worth mentioning, Rell is the forte of Oner recently. Therefore, Azir's return may be a little bright color for T1.
Azir is Faker's forte and is often used in important matches
In the upcoming Spring LCK playoffs in the upcoming LCK, T1 will still be one of the championship candidates. With the return of Azir, T1 will probably have better tactics and show a different face than themselves at the end of the recent group stage.
