In an electrifying best-of-five series, T1 outclassed LNG Esports, ensuring their advancement to the semifinals of Worlds 2023. The victory not only kept T1’s championship dreams alive but also showcased their exceptional prowess in the international arena.
A Dominant Display by T1
The series saw T1, the LCK’s formidable second seed, demonstrate a masterclass in strategic gameplay and mechanical skill. With each game, they reaffirmed their status as a global powerhouse in the esports world.
Game One: T1 Sets the Tone
From the outset, T1 made a statement. Despite LNG securing the first blood, T1’s Sang-hyeok “Faker” Lee and Lee “Gumayusi” Min-hyeong maintained perfect KDA scores, dominating their respective lanes and contributing to a near-flawless team victory.

Game Two: T1 Maintains Momentum
LNG’s improved performance in the second game did little to stem T1’s tide. Moon “Oner” Hyeon-joon’s participation in every team kill and Choi “Zeus” Woo-je‘s Aatrox rampage in the crucial drake team fight underscored T1’s dominance.
Game Three: The Knockout Blow
Faced with elimination, LNG shuffled their mid-lane strategy, but to no avail. T1, with Oner setting the aggressive pace and Ryu “Keria” Min-seok matching Faker’s high assist count, executed a clean sweep, further consolidating their status as the LCK’s sole hope.
