T1 is always considered the top candidate for the championship in every tournament they attend. However, not so that Faker and his teammates always have Max Ping performances before every opponent. As soon as the match at Worlds 2023 (the season when they ascended the throne) last year, T1 met countless difficulties before the Liquid team. Or as in the match against G2 Esports, it can be said that LEC representative made T1 fans sweat after watching the first 3 games as well as the first half of the game.
T1 really had a lot of difficulties before G2
In fact, T1 can completely defeat without Faker's eccentric processing in the fighting phase near the mid lane of T1 to help “shut down” the gunner Hans Sama. In the decisive game, G2 maintained a very good equilibrium posture and took full advantage of each mistake of T1. Worth mentioning, they also have BrokenBlade and Hans Sama Gunner “green”. But the mistake in the equipment and movement in the decisive situation of the main gunner so G2 has paid expensive prices. This is a pity but also shows that T1 knows how to take advantage of even the smallest opportunity.
If not for the shine of Faker at the right time, no one knows what the result will be like
Worth mentioning, the victory over G2 is the first time since the current squad was built that T1 could win two and 5 games in a BO5. In other words, every time they are led 2-1 after game 3, T1 can equalize in game 4 but they have never won the final. Even, even when they were 2-1 ahead, sometimes they lost 2 decisive games. Typically the match against Gen.G at the LCK final of the 2024 Spring LCK.
“Since the ZFOGK squad was established, MSI 2024 had” first T1 won a BO5 match when he lost 1-2. In fact, in the last 10 Bo5 matches, they only won the game 4 exactly. And after many years, many said they did not overcome psychological pressure. But Zfogk, they have improved and matured day by day “
This is the reality that needs to be overcome immediately. Because, if considering the overall, G2 may be the last “easy -to -eat” opponent that T1 can clash before setting foot in the final. The opponent at their upcoming winning branch is Bilibili Gaming – the team always exists many unknowns. Not to mention, besides that, the teams of Liquid, Top Esports/Gen.G are also ready to make T1 pay if they play like in the last match against G2. Or even G2 has not been eliminated and ready to revenge if given the opportunity is also waiting for Faker and his teammates ahead.
