Thus, another confrontation between the two teams “rival” T1 – Gen.G ended and again, the defending champion LCK was the winning team. Even this time, the victory is somewhat more overwhelming when the ratio is 2-0 for Gen.G and there is no game that lasts until 30 minutes. Especially, even if T1 has other options than usual, they can not make a surprise that even makes the team lose faster than normal. Meanwhile, Gen.G shows what they have done from the beginning of the spring up to now: a strong, stable collective and know how to overcome all the opponent's play.
T1 continues to receive another defeat against Gen.g
However, for many audiences and experts, the failure of T1 is completely possible. There are too many subjective and objective factors that are affecting this team. In particular, a few days ago, after the defeat in the opening match against T1, coach Nongshim Redforce identified the World Champion 2023 champion who is having some problems from the training stage: “We don't have to be confident that we will win T1, but we enter the battle with the psychology will win. I think T1 has not been practicing well recently. During the training process, we had many positive points.
But NS coach affirmed that he and the whole team were confident that they would be able to win T1 because “T1 is having a bad training process”.
Worth mentioning, NS is the team in the lower half of the LCK LCK ranking of the last 2024. If a team is much weaker, it can be confident to be able to beat T1, it can be seen how Faker and his teammates are underestimated. Not to mention, DDOS also creates a problem: T1 is catching very slowly Meta, although they are always famous as carefully meta researchers, can find different counterparts for the opponent's options as they have shown in Worlds 2023.
DDOS not only makes it difficult for T1 to practice, but they also no longer have the “prestige” of the champion in front of the weaker teams.
Of course, it is not only possible for DDOS as the cause for the failure of T1. But obviously, the unable to practice normally also has a significant impact and maybe T1 will have many difficult matches ahead, when encountering opponents is also very strong like the other Dplus or Hanwha Life Esports in the future.
