KT “shut down” gen.g but T1 is the most beneficial team

The developments of the final rounds in the framework of the Summer LCK group stage 2024 are becoming extremely unpredictable when except for the three teams who have entered the playoffs (Gen.G, Hanwha Life Esports, Kia Kia), the rest are still trying to win their own rights. However, KT Rolster – from the place where the team is prone to “out top”, suddenly there is a shock victory against the defending champion LCK – Gen.G. This victory helped KT somewhat regain the right to actively decide the ticket to go on, and moreover the long “shut down” of the long unbeaten circuit of the MSI 2024 champion.

However, KT's victory not only helped this team strengthen the chance to go on playoffs but also help another team benefit. Specifically, KT “Shut Down” of Gen.G's unbeaten circuit in the LCK group stage 2024 helped T1 maintain an unbeaten record in a domestic season in the LCK “that was established in the spring of 2022. At that time, T1 won the largest League of Legends tournament in Korea without losing any match. Although there is no long unbeaten circuit like Gen.G, at least T1 is still the only team to make a record of winning a domestic tournament in LCK history.

In fact, to be able to maintain an unbeaten series in a domestic tournament is not easy, when you have to scrim regularly with the opponents, and the time between each match is quite short (about 1-2 days off). Rivals not only have time to research, but at the end of the group stage, it is easy to witness many unpredictable scenarios. Therefore, the achievement of T1 is still a milestone that no team has overcome, including genes.

It can be said that KT's victory is probably the most meaningful to this team and their fans. But besides, T1 fans can also share the joy when the home team's record is still intact even though the “great rival” line of Gen.G is probably the most perfect history in this team and LCK.
