As it is known, recently, T1 had to attend the 2024 World Cup Esports in Saudi Arabia and the total time was nearly 1 week. The achievement of T1 in the tournament is also very good when they can win the championship despite encountering very strong opponents, including Bilibili Gaming – the representative defeated T1 many times and Top Esports – the team defeated the defending champion MSI 2024 Gen.G. The achievement of T1 accompanied by a “huge” bonus, the first title in 2024 but also made this team the “victim” of LCK.
The audience believes that T1 was exhausted by the BTC LCK with harsh schedules
Accordingly, no one understood why the BTC LCK BTC knew that T1 had to attend the EWC 2024 tournament but the schedule of this team did not change. Specifically, T1 ended the final match at dawn on July 8 (Vietnam time). After finishing the rest activities, the team also set back to Korea (maybe the evening of 9 or on the morning of July 10). However, when he got to the airport, instead of resting to recover his physical fitness after a long flight of more than 8000 km, T1 must immediately move to Lol Park to prepare for the match with Oksabingsbank Brion.
“Faker said this was the first time after 10 years of playing, he had to fight 1 match as soon as he got off the plane.”
T1 fans in China are annoyed by the schedule of T1: “This is the Grand Slam that this organization receives. Is LCK still thinking? Reply: This is LCK, we don't care DDOS. We don't care about the schedule. Do you know who is the symbol of the game?”
No one can explain why LCK BTC arranges the schedule for T1 so close. It was Faker after the hard match with Okbro ended, “Never in the past 10 years, I have to play a match right after getting off the plane. This is the first experience, I think so.” There are even audiences who believe that maybe the LCK BTC has absolutely no faith T1 will be able to win the EWC 2024 so that they can schedule such close competition. Because, the EWC 2024 project was notified from the whole MSI 2024 ended. Thus, there is no reason for the BTC LCK to not know the final day of the League of Legends in the Saudi tournament.
Keria's tired image after the match
Currently, the LCK BTC has not made any statements about the incident. The match against Okbro also ended with the beneficial results for T1. Therefore, there is an opinion that the incident may “sink” like many other cases before.
