2023 is truly a year of ups and downs for T1, but it brought them sweet fruit at the end of the season with the 2023 World Championship. This is also considered one of the most attractive World Championships in the tournament's history, and witness all levels of emotions. Worth mentioning, to take the throne in the tournament held right at home, T1 had to overcome all 4 representative teams of the “great rival” LPL region. This is not easy, especially when both JD Gaming and Bilibili Gaming defeated T1 in the MSI tournament the same year.
T1 – BLG is a pair of opponents who have had many relationships since 2023
Of course, to explain this glorious achievement, there are many reasons such as the skills of the players, amazing performances, superstar moments, tactical imprints and performance… But recently , through a mic-check (clips of players' in-game communications) of T1 and BLG in the 2 finals in 2 regions, showed a clear difference and this could be An important factor to help Faker and his teammates win at Worlds 2023.
A post on Reddit about the difference in communication between players on the T1 and BLG teams
Accordingly, a post posted on the social network Reddit, pointed out the clear difference between the communication style of T1 and GBV. Accordingly, even though he doesn't really understand Chinese, this person pointed out that: If T1 communicates in a simple way, then GBV is quite chaotic: “Even if you don't understand Chinese, you can still saw BLG's communication much more chaotic. Half of them (in the clip) were Xun asking his teammates to play slower. But the players obviously played very fast after that happened because of this and they should have slowed down.
“Even if you don't understand Chinese, you can still see BLG's communication is much more chaotic. Half of it (in the clip) is Xun asking his teammates to slow down. But the players are clear after They all play very fast.[…] Most of their mistakes happened because of this and they should have slowed down.”
Meanwhile, T1 is much more disciplined. Faker is like the voice of reason, always calming his teammates, while Gumayusi is much more fierce. They can always evaluate their chances of being defeated, which situations have the least impact on the game. They called for addressing the target and preparing for the next steps.”
T1 player's communication is layered, disciplined and extremely clear and consistent
This immediately received the approval of many League of Legends audiences. According to a comment that received many upvotes: “T1 communicates like a professional player and has a professional demeanor. While BLG is like a group of friends going online together.”
“T1 communicates like a professional player and behaves professionally. While BLG is like a group of friends hanging out online together.”
However, there is a clear difference: T1 relies on Faker's absolute discipline and command. Some remaining members will make “short calls” (roughly translated: short calls) for certain goals or situations, but all will be led by Faker. Meanwhile, BLG is mainly based on the chemistry of each member as well as the skills and judgment of each individual player. If applied to teams with an “aggressive” playing style, relying heavily on skill, BLG will be able to win absolutely. But when encountering teams that are disciplined and have similar skill ceilings, it is understandable that BLG will have difficulty and even be defeated.
This is probably the difference that helps T1 defeat GBV at Worlds 2023
In the upcoming MSI 2024, BLG and T1 will probably still maintain their typical playing style. Therefore, many audiences are looking forward to the confrontation between the two teams at this playground again, to be able to know whether disciplined, consistent play will prevail or if skilled players will be in good form. The current top ranking team in the world of League of Legends will be the winning team.
