On January 30th, the LCK E-sports Spring Festival Gala broadcast by Huya ended, and WE Ma teacher watched the two matches throughout the whole process. Among them, the first game was T1 against DK, and the two teams brought us a very good game, playing bo3. In the end, T1 defeated the DK team 2:1, completing the streak record a few years ago, And Mr. Ma bluntly said that T1 is now very strong, and this year's Li Brother is in full shape again.
Let's start with the current standings. After beating DK in T1, he reached the top with six consecutive wins. Gen, on the other hand, was kept a clean sheet by KT after five consecutive wins, so it is now in second place with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss. Next, the three teams of DK, KT and DRX are in the western division, and the eastern division is NS, HLE, BRO, LSB, and KDF. Teacher Ma said that throughout the standings, there are teams that win all, but there are no teams that lose all. So this year's LCK looks like the teams at the bottom of the ranking are similar in strength.
Teacher Ma bluntly said that the BO3 between T1 and DK should be no suspense, after all, DK's record is worse. DK has ShowMaker in this season, and although it can be equal to Faker in the middle, there is some gap between other roads and T1. Both teams rely more on Nakano belt rhythms, but it's clear that T1's upper and lower sides have played better in subsequent competitions after gaining an advantage. It is also worth mentioning that perhaps ShowMaker is still strong, but it is not dominant in front of Faker.
Of course, T1 also showed instability in these 6 BO3 games, but it did not affect their dominance of LCK. Teacher Ma felt that Guapi Faker's state had indeed returned, and he had played back and forth on the field. In the new generation of duos down the road, Gumayusi players are also very good. Previously, Gumayusi players said that he wanted to become a T1 iconic player like Faker, and he wondered if his wish could be realized. Then this season should be a great opportunity.
After the end of the LCK Spring Festival Gala, the Spring Games also pressed the pause button. The fourth week of matches will start on February 9, which will also be five matchdays, with 2 matches on each matchday. Mr. Ma pointed out the key matches, and in terms of T1, the first game against HLE on February 9 will definitely be a match without suspense. And on February 12, T1 vs GEN, this is the match between the first and second of the list, the game is definitely more exciting. Teacher Ma feels that although GEN has lost a game, it is still very strong in terms of strength. So in the match between T1 and GEN, the outcome of the victory or defeat is unpredictable.
The LPL Spring Tournament will open on February 10, and Mr. Ma will also open the OB commentary of the LPL race at that time. Teacher Ma believes that at present, the LPL is still the first division, although T1 is unstoppable in LCK, but it is estimated that it should not be advantageous to meet the LPL team. What do you think about that?
