At the present time, perhaps the attention of the world -world audience has been gradually pouring towards MSI 2024 – the first international tournament of the year. This year, in order to increase the attractiveness of this tournament, Riot has made major changes in the formula. In particular, the starting round will attract a series of powerful teams, typically the presence of T1. This MSI is expected to be dramatic, especially when the audience has experienced 5 extreme games in the LCK final of the Spring LCK 2024. And the defending champion MSI, JD Gaming, did not even have the opportunity to defend the title when he was defeated before the top eSports.
The current T1 probably has a complete attention for MSI 2024
With what was shown before Gen.G in the final, T1 will obviously be one of the top candidates for the MSI 2024 championship. But recently, many viewers also accidentally realized an important thing: the location of MSI this year – Chengdu, China, may be “good land” for T1 thanks to a past factor.
MSI 2024 will be held in Chengdu, China if nothing changes
Specifically, at the first championship of this team, that is, at MSI 2016, SKT T1 was also crowned in the Central, specifically in Shanghai. The next special thing is that in 2016, SKT T1 also retained almost the entire squad, except for the top lane of captain Marin and it was the least change of SKT T1 after they won a World Worlds. In 2024, T1 was even more thorough when he kept the entire squad together in 2023.
The first time SKT T1 has the MSI championship is also in China
Not to mention, in 2024, the rivals of the horns used to make it difficult for T1 in particular and LCK in general at MSI had many changes or even “flew color” (like JDG). Therefore, there is absolutely a basis to believe in the two representatives of LCK, especially T1 – the team always has good performances whenever they have the opportunity to set foot in international tournaments.
Rare rivals from LPL can make T1 difficult last year, JDG was absent from MSI this year
Another MSI is approaching and as usual, T1 will be appreciated again. Of course, to win the championship, the most important factor is the performance of the players. But at least, right from the present time, T1 fans have a basis to believe in the ability to compete the title of the home team.
