The second day of the seventh week of the LCK Spring Tournament ushered in the battle of focus: T1 vs. GEN, as the most promising to break the unbeaten golden body of the T1 Spring Tournament, due to Ruler's diagnosis of the new crown, resulting in the second time to face T1, still failed to meet with a fully complete lineup.
In the end, T1 achieved a thirteen-game winning streak, and Faker also achieved the milestone record of 2500 kills. T1 will face KT next, and if it can beat KT, it will break SKT's record of fourteen consecutive wins in a single season in 2015.
In an interview with Gumayusi by Korean media after the game, Gumayusi said that he wanted to beat Viper, who was considered the strongest AD:
The first is the question of the GEN lineup, because in the last game with GEN, it was Chovy+Ruler and three players from the second team who played. This time, Ruler was absent, replaced by a single player in the second team. So Gumayusi said: "It's really an unfortunate situation, but I think even against their full starting line-up, we're going to do a great job. I wish Ruler a speedy recovery, and as for Ophelia, because he is a singles player, he is still looking forward to using some non-traditional AD heroes.
As the only T1 in the four divisions to maintain a record of total victory, it is very promising to win this year's spring championship and represent LCK in MSI. So when asked which team or down-road combination on the MSI stage would like to play, Gumasyusi responded: EDG's Viper is considered the strongest ADC player, so I hope to have the opportunity to beat him.
As for his winning streak, Gumayusi also expressed great confidence: winning KT is absolutely fine, and I think we can maintain a record of winning all in the regular season.
