T1 dominates LNG Esports with a 3-0 sweep in the quarterfinals of Worlds 2023.
In a high-stakes match, T1, the last-standing LCK team, faced off against LNG Esports, with the hopes of the host country resting on their shoulders. The crowd was electric, especially as former SKT Telecom T1 mid laner Lee “Scout” Ye-chan went up against his idol, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok.
T1 showcased their incremental improvement at Worlds, delivering a masterful performance against LNG Esports. They surprised everyone with their creative drafts, starting with a unique bot lane combination of Nilah and Senna. This duo provided incredible sustain and healing, overwhelming their opponents.
In game two, T1 pulled out another surprise by pairing Ashe with AD carry Varus, a strategy that their support player Keria had practiced and found success with before. Despite a slow-paced game, T1 secured crucial objectives and team fights to secure victory.
For the third game, T1 continued to innovate with their picks, including Renata Glasc and Poppy. They maintained control throughout the match, securing all four dragons and building a significant gold lead. LNG Esports struggled to find any openings, and T1 capitalized on every mistake, ultimately completing the sweep in just 26 minutes.
With this impressive victory, T1 advances to the semifinals where they will face JD Gaming, the team that knocked them down to the lower bracket at MSI 2023.
