The unfortunate defeat of T1 against Gen.G in the opening match of the Spring LCK 2024, in theory, there was no impact on the championship race of both teams. In the immediate future, it is still very long matches and Gen.G will face T1 at least once again this season. Therefore, basically, T1 players do not need to be too worried about the results. However, the performances of the players in the last match are really worthy, especially when T1 has been put into dangerous situations.

The performance of the players may be temporary, and the T1 star itself also has acceptable performances. But according to some judgments from experts and fans, T1 did not show that they keep up with meta. This, first, was shown by Gumayusi himself in game 1. At that time, Gumayusi chose the bloodstream for Lucian. This is an item that provides the ability to recover, recover energy, add blood and gold for the generals to own. But in fact, this is an item for support. And it is impossible to say that Gumayusi's Lucian has a game 1 that has a lot of influence when he doesn't even have any defeated network even though the home team won the match.

Secondly, coming from Faker's own assertion in the interview after the recent match. Accordingly, the road between the T1 house admitted: “The terrain really changes too much and we, like many other teams, I think, has not really adapted yet. We have not regained the best performance but this will soon improve in the future.”
Faker also acknowledged that T1 was not in good form and was not fully prepared for the terrain change
The support of the item in the context of the team that needs damage, it is clear that Gumayusi also makes itself difficult. Especially when the middle until the end of the game, Gumayusi is not really able to shock anyone's damage to anyone on the Gen.G. And if Oner – Faker did not open well, perhaps T1 would not be able to end the first game in the 28th minute, even could lose. According to the audience, T1 did not have much time to practice because they had to “run the show” continuously while the other teams were able to relax and prepare carefully for new changes.
“Thanks to T1, our team does not have as much train time as they need”
The opening defeat may also be a good thing for T1 when it will help the players “wake up” after a series of days resigning to the Championship championship. But certainly, T1 needs to recover the team as soon as possible because the LCK Spring Journey of 2024 will certainly not be easy when the front is still KT Rolster, Hanwha Life Esports or Dplus is ready to challenge.
