Faker and his teammates destroyed KT
The second match of the first round of the LCK playoffs in the summer of 2024 is somewhat more noticeable when it was the T1 – KT Rolster match. These are the two teams that are also considered as “rivals” in recent seasons, since the outstanding period of T1 before KT in the “great telecommunications war” from 2022 onwards. In the group stage, both teams have the score against each other and the audience also expects a tense and dramatic match. Only thing, T1 in the playoffs round with the Bo5 matches is always a very dangerous T1. Faker and his teammates proved in the first match with the perfect destruction of KT.
T1 has accomplished the first goal in the Summer LCK playoffs 2024
Worth mentioning, on the day T1 gently passed KT with a ratio of 3-1 gap, and Faker showed the 78th general that he brought in the mid lane in his career – Smolder, the T1 players also had a more memorable milestone. Specifically, Zeus had another pentakill in his career and especially for the Olaf general – a basic name that was not used by Zeus. Zeus's olaf can be considered a mutant choice because in the summer of 2024, Olaf is only used 2 times, which is 2 games of T1 before KT recently. Olaf's win rate is also 100%.
Zeus's unexpected pentakill
The community's reaction to Zeus's pentakill
But one of the most concerned audiences for Faker and his teammates after the match with KT, is Zeus's pentakill that is not stopped by anyone. Because, before that, both Gumayusi, Faker or Oner were at least being accidentally “stopped” by his teammates at least once. Most notably, Faker's “almost pentakill” situation in the spring of 2022 was “shut down” by Nidalee of Oner. From then on, Oner could not use Nidalee anymore and many viewers joke that it was because he was “guilty” with Faker.
The audience was also surprised
– “This is not Zeus, who is often ganked, but I know”
– “Am I dreaming? Nobody robs Zeus's Pentakill?”
– “Guma has a beautiful fighting phase, creating conditions for Zeus to have Pentakill, Respect Guma for 2 great performances.”
In fact, perhaps these are joking ideas are the right to witness such a brave and different T1. But anyway, many viewers also expect this achievement to help Zeus in particular and the T1 members in general more spirit when preparing to enter the matches may be even more tough, with extremely powerful opponents like the other Dplus, Hanwha Life Esports and especially Gen.G.
