At LCK Spring 2024, a familiar script continued when Gen.G and T1 still appeared in the two highest positions on the rankings. These are also the two teams with the most convincing play in the last group stage. It would not be too surprising if T1 and Gen.G continued to be a direct opponent for this spring LCK title and won tickets to MSI 2024.
The title of Spring LCK 2024 will probably be only a separate competition for T1 and Gen.G
In addition, other top tournaments such as LPL, LEC … also gradually revealed potential candidates for the ticket to attend MSI. Therefore, it is very understandable that T1 to monitor and research these future opponents is very understandable. And in the latest interview, the star of T1 – Keria has revealed the most formidable players at LPL according to its assessment. It was surprising that the names mentioned by Keria were not the players of the LPL leading teams.
“To be honest, I see LPL a lot recently. Perhaps because the area will become our main opponent (T1) at the upcoming MSI. I see Tangyuan of RNG and Milkyway on the FPX side who are playing extremely excellent at the present time. Although they are not famous or ranked in superstar, these are extremely excellent and quite ominous players if they have to confront.”
Keria recently shared: “I see Tangyuan of RNG and Milkyway on the FPX side are playing extremely excellent at the present time. They are formidable opponents.”
At LPL Spring 2024, FPX shows a strong revival when standing in the fourth position in the rankings, although there is no big name in the squad. The great contribution to this achievement of FPX is the jungle player – Milkyway with many shining matches and “carrying the team” in the true sense. Even the media at LPL also called Milkyway a “saving” the tournament because of its excellent performance. Perhaps for this reason, Keria appreciated the young jungler on the FPX side.

As for Tangyuan, this guy does not seem to be very lucky when RNG is in the end of the table. However, there are many rumors that RNG is a strong team when fighting. Some people joke that if Tangyuan played with 80% of the performance when fighting, RNG was able to race the LPL championship. Most likely T1 and RNG have had many Scrim sessions together, so Keria appreciated his colleagues from LPL.
Tangyuan and RNG collective are said to be very strong when fighting but the official competition has a very bad achievement
Basically, the Milkyway ratio or Tangyuan to meet T1 at the upcoming MSI is very small. If Milkyway still has the opportunity to compete in the playoffs, Tangyuan and RNG do not even have this. Moreover, BLG and JDG are still too great forces in the current LPL and winning tickets to MSI from their hands is too difficult.

However, these players are still extremely young (the same age) and there are many opportunities for future development. Maybe in just 1-2 years, they will rise to become the top stars at LPL and directly challenge the international title with T1.
