With the defeat against Bilibili Gaming (BLG), T1 will have to look for opportunities under the losing branch at MSI 2024. Overall, T1 played a match under the completely compact compared to BlG. In addition to the bright spot in game 2, T1 was unable to control the match in his will in the remaining games and had to accept a defeat of “admiration of the password”.
T1 had a fairly disappointing match against BlG
After the match ended, the audience could not help but ask questions about the difficult choice of T1. Typically, the choice of Twisted Fate in game 3 in the context of BlG will definitely find a way to change the way. Even after the match ended, the audience thought that T1 had practiced with JDG and learned difficult choices, so it led to failure.
“Evidence shows that T1 has practiced with JDG: Too priority Twisted Fate but does not have much effect, the unreasonable choice is called Veigar and taking a pair of lines under 3 consecutive games” – a pressing audience shared
“This is only meme but it can be true. Maybe JDG deliberately broke the Scrim battles with T1 for LPL champion” – another audience could not help but suspiciously “play” with T1
“I remember Keria once said JDG was the” brothers “team with T1 even though not winning tickets to MSI. That hypothesis has a very high rate is that true” – another fan also agrees
When looking back at the third game between BLG and T1, the audience can see the intention to change the line of the LPL representative shown very clearly from the ban/selection. Specifically, they choose Taliyah to be able to stir the road easily and the Lucian – Nami duo is very strong in taking the shield early. Even, choosing Lucian – Nami after T1 took the Senna – Tahm Kench more and more clearly showed the intention of changing the road of BLG. Therefore, a non -strong top line in a 1v2 situation like Twisted Fate is the unreasonable choice of T1.
The starting options of BlG at game 3 showed the intention to change the road but T1 still used Twisted Fate and made Zeus as well as the team fall into a difficult position.
When compared to the playoffs of LPL Spring 2024, it is coincidentally that JDG's Flandre also has very bad Twisted Fate boards. Moreover, Yagao also used Veigar to fail in the playoffs round. Perhaps for this reason, the audience thought that T1 had learned these confusing choices of JDG and received defeat against BLG.
Yagao used to have a very bad game with Veigar in the playoffs LPL in the spring of 2024 so the audience could not help but think that T1 had learned this unreasonable choice from JDG
It should be known that in the current JDG squad, there are two Korean players, Kanavi and Ruler. They are all teammates of Faker, Zeus, and Keria in the Olympics taking place in 2023. Not excluding the possibility because this close relationship, T1 chose to practice with JDG when he arrived in the city to attend MSI 2024.

In fairness, T1 showed a relatively disappointing face from the ban on selection to the handling in the match in the defeat against BLG. In the near future, they will have a few days off to prepare for the match under the losing branch with TeamLiquid. Hopefully the T1 team will take advantage of this time to improve the tactics and performance of the player to regain the winning circuit as well as the belief in the fans.
