A Heavy Team Hit that Turns the Game Around... T1, First Victory in Worlds Cup
The Swiss stage, the final round of the 2023 League of Legends World Championship (hereinafter referred to as Worlds Cup), began at KBS Arena on the 20th.
In the opening match, T1, the second seed in the domestic league's LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea), got off to the best start by completely defeating Team Liquid Honda (TL) of the LCS, the third seed in the North American league. 카지노사이트탑
T1's lineup includes Sang-hyeok 'Faker', Woo-jae 'Zeus' Choi, Min-seok 'Keria' Ryu, who played for the national team in the 'Hangzhou Asian Games', as well as Hyun-jun 'Owner' Moon and Min-hyeong 'Kumayushi'.
T1's first match was not as easy as expected. T1 chose Jayce, Sejuani, Orianna, Ashe, and Renata Glassk and formed a snow-ball combination based on strong laning.
However, in the early stages of the dive aimed at the opponent's top laner, he was counterattacked and suffered from the start.
Afterwards, TL's jungler Hong 'Pyo-sik' Chang-hyeon created an advantageous trend by catching T1 players through targeting.
However, T1, living up to its nickname ‘T1 of teamfights', succeeded in turning the game around by showing a heavy teamfight fight at the end of the game.
As the confrontation continued in the mid lane around the 35th minute of the game, TL's top laner Park 'Summit' Woo-tae and support 'Core Jangjeon' Jo Yong-in attacked T1 first, leading to a team fight.
However, T1 calmly blocked the opponent's attack and caught TL's long-distance dealer Sean 'Kite' Sheng.
After catching the opponent one after another, T1 advanced to mid and destroyed the opponent's nexus.
T1, which took the lead in the League of Legends Champions Korea, recorded one win and advanced to the winner's bracket in the second round.
Starting with this Worlds Cup, all matches in the newly introduced Swiss stage will be held as a single match.
T1, which earned one win, will face one of the teams that recorded one win in the following game tomorrow.
If they record three wins, they will advance to the quarterfinals first.
