The victory between T1 and Gen.G has gathered a lot of elements of a peak heroic battle, when Faker and his teammates showed that they played superior to the opponent in all aspects. However, there are extremely important elements in T1's play almost completely different from before. And maybe, it is these factors that will help the defending Champions Worlds 2023 successfully protect their throne in the final against the upcoming Bilibili Gaming – also the last official match of the professional League of Legends village in 2024.
The important factors in the victory of T1 against Gen.G should be recreated in the upcoming BLG match
T1 abandoned “stubbornness” inherent
In the past, a typical gameplay of T1 is that they will let the opponent have good generals, then will find ways to overcome. This has contributed to the Bitter T1 against Drx in 2022 when he definitely did not prohibit Kingen's Aatrox at that time, he had a very high win rate. This continues to continue in 2024, at the LCK tournament when many times T1 to set the smolders or yone into the hands of opponents. However, even in an important match against Gen.G, T1 abandoned the “inherent” habit.
T1 no longer constantly releases the generals for the opponent
In all 4 games, T1 is aimed at the strong generals of the Gen.G side, such as Nidalee or Yone, Aurora, Smolder. And by game 4, when T1 decided to “release” Nidalee of Canyon, Keria immediately had Pyke and Oner with Skarner to overcome. This is a ban on choosing that T1 has changed a lot, and this needs to be repeated in the final, when players like Bin or Knight also have some “signature champs” to be ready to go to the battle when their team has problems.
A series of generals of ChoVy or Peyz were banned in all 4 games
The lower pair of T1 shines
It can be said that throughout the season, while Gumayusi was constantly underestimated and many times had to “be the background” for his teammates, Keria dropped in a tragic form. The hot generals like Rakan or Rell were not well operated in the hands of birth in 2002. Coming to Worlds 2024, T1 has “awakened” and their lower lines have more acting land.
A mutant Keria has returned
A mutant -rich Keria has returned to Bard, Renata and Pyke. A Gumayusi is being put more resources, being banned by the opponent up to three ADCs enough to show how terrible he is. In the match against Gen.G, it was the high performance of this duo that helped T1 have an easy -to -breathing game, and “sealed” Peyz – Lehendss on the opponent's side.
The shine of the bottom pair contributed greatly to help T1 win
Faker spoke at the right time
In the match against Gen.G, a bold thing that T1 “dares” to do is for Faker to use Akali and Yone – generals often play a role in the main damage, requiring a lot of processing speed and skills. If it was a normal opponent, everything was fine. But the other side is ChoVy, and these options have shown that T1 dares to make unexpected choices and Faker can operate well the generals who are no longer his forte at the end of his career as recently.
Faker also spoke at the right time
Faker even made a mark with the “blood lake” Solo Kill Chevy or the situation almost defeated the opponent's Ahri when the “demon king” used Sylas. If Faker continues to maintain this game in the upcoming BLG match, in particular before Knight, T1 will have more advantages of victory and complete his glory path.
