Only a few days left, T1 will enter the match extremely important to Hanwha Life Esports in the final of the LCK Spring 2024. This will be the decisive match this season T1 has the opportunity to compete in the MSI 2024 as well as the LCK Championship as well as the LCK championship or not. In the most recent confrontation, T1 has defeated the unbelievable score of 0-3. This is the result that everyone is surprised because HLE and T1 are considered quite horizontal but now Faker and his teammates have failed so overwhelming.
T1 prepares to have a recovery that promises many difficulties with HLE
One of the most visible facts, is in the bottom line with a clear difference. If VIPER in the match against T1 has performed well, especially when holding Zeri general, Gumayusi is somewhat less visible. In addition to being unable to practice because DDOS, recently, the legend of SKT T1/T1 – Wolf has indicated a weak point of juniors: unable to play Zeri.
Gumayusi has only played Zeri exactly 1 match since LCK Spring 2024 started to the present and it was a loss
Accordingly, in a recent stream, Wolf said frankly: “T1 should be considered as Zeri does not exist. Zeri with Gumayusi is like Draven with the state. There are always one or two generals that do not harmonize with the player. We used to let the state try to play Draven for a while, feel ineffective, then ignore it.
A audience recorded the stream of Wolf to share about T1, so he should study and abandon the general Zeri.
Wolf's idea is in fact reasonable, in theory “Play well, to the point of unbeaten in the forte generals and ignore your shorts if you feel no need to improve”. In fact, T1 can also banned from Zeri and select other gunners for Gumayusi. This is understandable and completely applicable to avoid the shortage of his team player, and counter a strong option of the opponent.
The remaining general of Gumayusi is enough for T1 to operate the tactics
But even so, the fact that Gumayusi could not play well Zeri also showed that this champion was a critical weakness of the T1 gunner. And perhaps, because it is not really mastering Zeri, Gumayusi also has no way to cope when clashing this champion on the opponent's side, but the match T1 – HLE is a typical example.
Perhaps many people are surprised when the champion seemed to be the current gunner that needs to be fluent in the critical weakness of Gumayusi.
Finding a way to overcome a champion is sometimes simpler than trying to master that champion to choose and force the opponent to cope. Therefore, Wolf's way of hearing may be a bit unreasonable with a diverse tactical squad like T1, but perhaps a good plan for T1 to be able to refer and overcome HLE in the upcoming important match.
