Thus, after the first two matches at the LCK Spring 2024, T1 had a result of a win – a loss. In fact, the defeat of Gen.G is quite unfortunate that there were moments in game 2, T1 took quite a lot of advantages but could not end the game for Gen.G has supported very well before the counterattack. Of course, the first matches of the season will not say much. T1 itself is probably also gradually catching up with professional matches as well as new meta.
T1 had a victory in the first week of LCK Spring 2024
However, T1 will also take advantage of all possible opportunities to test pieces for a long journey. Typically recently, T1 has become one of the pioneer teams in LCK using Meta map of the world with the bottom line game to 2 support equipment. In particular, Gumayusi will go to blood – the item provides blood, the ability to recover (blood and energy) and the amount of money 5 gold every 10 seconds. In addition, this equipment will cause more physical damage with 150% of the basic attack power and apply the weakness effect, forcing the opponent to receive additional damage in 6 seconds.
T1 is one of the pioneering LCK teams in the Gunner gameplay to support the world map meta
This gameplay has an advantage that both support and the gunner will obtain a large amount of resources during the road. However, because this is still a support equipment – which is not the usual equipment of the gunner, it will force the AD to weaken a bit compared to the normal map. The evidence clearly showed that Gumayusi did not take any defeated network in the game 1 match against Gen.G. And the more the game was at the end of the game, the more he was declining the damage.
This game is strong at the road but makes the gunner a little weakened when there is not enough equipment
But according to Keria, after the Kwangdong Freecs victory, the use of the world map Meta is simply T1, who is looking for … “testing” and Gen.G is “green army”. Specifically, Keria said: “Before the first match (against Gen.G), Mr. Tom asked us to test the Meta world map by the LPL super server on this type. We have a rank but have never been used when practicing and the match against Gen.G is the first time we use this meta with a professional team.”
Keria admitted that they had no chance to practice this game before, only used in rank and gen.
Obviously, T1 still repeats an old “habit” that will test new ideas even in the top matches. And even when they fail, T1 can find advantages and disadvantages in the gameplay. Typically, after losing to Gen.G at Worlds 2023, they were unbeaten and went straight to the championship. Most likely, this 2024 LCK LCK will be a similar journey for Faker and his teammates when they started the reels.
