After going through off in the course of the Esports World Cup, T1 and TES will conflict once more within the first spherical of the 2024 Worlds Swiss stage. Right here’s our breakdown.
TES vs T1 – first LPL vs LCK match for Worlds
With the seed pooling modifications for LPL and LCK on the Worlds Swiss stage, followers have been sure to see numerous motion between the 2 strongest areas on this planet. And with out a lot shock, followers will get a primary style of the TES vs T1 sequence.
This isn’t the primary time the 2 battle each other, as the 2 competed within the closing of the Esports World Cup. On that event, it was T1 who got here out on high, taking the sequence 3-1. Contemplating this can be a Bo1, there are most likely going to be extra query marks concerning the potential final result, although T1 may nonetheless be favored.
With that in thoughts, let’s see what the expectations are for these two groups.
Match Breakdown
T1 comes from an up-and-down summer time break up, the place the staff has typically struggled to keep up consistency. Specifically, it felt like there was all the time somebody dragging the staff however there was no clear perpetrator. Generally it occurred to Oner whereas on different events it fell on Zeus, Keria, and even Faker.
Gumayusi was most likely essentially the most constant participant on the roster however he additionally struggled to hold the staff given the present meta of utility ADCs. We’re sure for some explosive motion within the backside lane, as JackeyLove and Meiko are undoubtedly up there with T1’s duo.
The main target of this sequence, nonetheless, will doubtless fall on the jungle matchup. Tian has proved over the complete 12 months how important he’s to the complete staff’s functioning so he should present up if TES desires a shot on the victory.
I’m additionally curious to see what sort of picks T1 will go for – they’re recognized for not all the time sticking to the meta picks and it may be a hit-or-miss. Zeus ought to get the higher hand over 369, and I’m anticipating Faker and Creme to handshake picks primarily based on the 2 staff’s compositions.
General, I really feel like T1 is at a slight benefit as a result of how they’re able to capitalize on the enemy’s dangerous macro calls. In case of a TES victory, it would most likely be thanks to raised teamfights. Whoever wins, although, will certainly get a very good headstart for the remainder of the Swiss stage.
