Since the beginning of the spring LCK 2024 until now, T1 has been quite good journey. Besides Gen.G, T1 is the team with the most stable performance. Especially, after the loss of Gen.G on the opening day, T1 won and two of their opponents were very strong names such as KT Rolster and Hanwha Life Esports. It can be said that T1 still deserves to be the championship candidate of LCK Spring 2024. However, many audiences feel that T1 has not really been full of ability.
T1 makes the audience feel that they have not yet sprung up
One of the factors that leads to this statement is the year in Keria and his teammates are still actively “testing generals”. Particularly, the T1 support until now has used 8 different generals and is supporting the most generals at LCK Spring 2024 before the match against Oksavingsbank Brion. As Keria himself once revealed in the interview after losing to Gen.G, T1 is still looking for the best options and will not hesitate to try new champions when having the opportunity.
Keria admits the team still has many unused options
Recently, Keria also made many people surprised when admitting that T1 really has not entered the “form”. Accordingly, support T1 said: “We are building combos that can lead in the first and middle phase. Therefore, we will continue to test different generals to find the best options. At the same time will research to improve the capabilities of the team. If you lose, or have difficulty in deploying, we are not afraid to try again.”
The goal of T1 is to search for strong combos at the top and between the game as well as to have new tests in the coming matches.
In fact, this tactic of T1 is quite similar to themselves when Worlds 2023, when T1 used matches in the Swiss round to conduct testing many different options. Even as Keria himself revealed at that stage, that they were willing to try to play according to Meta to determine whether the choice was right or not in the match against Gen.G. After that, T1 also brought out a “strange” general at that time just fleeting in the thought of Keria, Ashe.
T1 also has this general test policy at Worlds 2023
Of course, the test will come with the results that may not be as expected and the T1 players probably know this well. But with the revelation from Keria, T1 may bring more options in the near future, even until the end of the group stage. That may ensure that T1 has the best squad preparing for the more important playoffs.
