Thus, again, T1 failed to Gen.G in a final of a LCK period. It can be said that, at the domestic playground, Gen.G is still a too “heavy” force for T1. But even so, both teams devoted a tense, dramatic final to the last moment. There is a feeling, even if one of the two teams has an advantage, the other side can still turn the flag. However, the match was completely eye -catching and with T1 fans, perhaps there was nothing too regretful because the home team has devoted their best.
T1 once again defeated against Gen.g
But not so that T1 did not make critical mistakes that made them defeat. Because, in games 2 and 3, T1 showed that they could completely destroy genes if competing “max ping”. But at important stages, T1 made critical mistakes that made the team lose the game in the hands of Gen.G.
Faker's “blind messenger” phase
Perhaps Faker himself is the player leaving the most regret. All 4 games, he played very well as if the “Demon King” in the period of 2015 – 2016 had returned. Even Faker's “Quadra Kill” Azir phase in game 1 can be considered as one of the most “sorrowful” situations in this final. However, as soon as the team put the hope in Faker's Orianna, T1's leader drove the ironing messenger directly into the gen.g. The story has nothing to say if then, 5 members of Gen.G are not waiting.
The situation that perhaps Gen.G must be surprised for some why Faker climbed into the messenger
Losing Faker, T1 lost the balance being maintained in game 5. Of course, T1 did not lose right after that situation but made Faker officially be surpassed and T1 lost control of the match. In addition, Faker's “sacrifice” is also meaningless when the middle line of Gen.G is not lost. T1 without Faker also loses the dragon and gradually got Gen.G “snowball”.
Zeus's performance
Perhaps it has been a long time, people have seen Zeus's Aatrox so miserable in a match. Still a gladiator general to help T1 won the 2023 World Championship, but when confronted with Kiin, Zeus did not have much effect. His shine later with pure tank generals like Zac or K'Sante did not fill one thing: Zeus has not really “max ping” in this final.
Zeus slightly lost his form in this final
In addition, “unlucky” for Zeus when the other side of the battle line is Kiin in the final of his career. Gen.G players play as if this was his final final and Zeus simply had no chance. Zeus is still very reliable, but perhaps he himself needs to make an effort to adapt faster, and maintain a high level throughout. Especially when Zeus's opponent in the country is Kiin, Doran and the world, Bin is the superstar in the current Toplane position.
But it must be said that Kiin is too good
No one protects Gumayusi in game 4
There is one truth: In the two T1 games winning, they all have their own choices to make a very good shield for the main damage (Faker and Gumayusi). But in the fourth game decided, T1 let Zeus hold Gwen while Combo Aphelios – Lulu was too mobility. Aphelios did not even have any skip like Lucian so that when approached, Gumayusi could protect himself.
Gumayusi with Aphelios is almost not playing much in games 4
Perhaps T1 wants to share damage to Gumayusi, and this is reasonable. But when Gen.G has Kha'zix has dissipated all tactical intentions of T1. The combo cannot be done while Canyon plays so well that Gumayusi is completely harmless. Lack of reliable shields and Gumayusi did not dare to reckless when the opponent owned too many good champions that made T1 unable to end the match in game 4 and finally lost.
