The highly anticipated League of Legends playoff series between T1 and LNG ended in a complete domination by the South Korean team. T1 secured a 3-0 victory without losing a single inner turret or dragon to their Chinese opponent. This remarkable performance has solidified T1’s place in history, as only one other best-of-five series in previous World Championships achieved such a one-sided result.
In 2018, Invictus Gaming delivered a similar stomping to G2, ultimately leading them to win the Worlds that year after defeating Fnatic in the grand final. The dominance of T1 extends beyond Worlds, as they have also proven to be the most dominant team in the history of the Mid-Season Invitational. They have achieved multiple 3-0 victories without losing a single inner turret on five separate occasions.
With their impressive victory over LNG, T1 has advanced to the semifinals of Worlds 2023. They will be facing JD Gaming on Sunday, Nov. 12, in what is expected to be a challenging match. The other semifinal will feature a showdown between Bilibili Gaming and Weibo Gaming, guaranteeing a Chinese team in the grand final. However, T1 remains the only team capable of stopping them from hoisting the Summoner’s Cup this year.
