LCK Spring 2024 results today, April 13
T1 vs HLE: 3-1
Game 1
Ban on T1 vs HLE game 1
HLE's decision to change lane in the early game completely neutralized Zeus's TF, but they left Gumayusi's Zeri with a lot of time and space, and T1's ADC with his timeless power made their team HLE was defeated even though they controlled many targets, including the Millennium Dragon.
However, Oner's reckless decision to open a fight and Zeus's mistake in choosing a target caused T1 to lose two big targets in the most important moment of the match. With unnecessary deaths, T1 lost the victory in the first game.
Game 2
Ban on T1 vs HLE game 2
HLE got off to a good start with Vi's strong offense in Peanut's hands but T1 also kept Dragon targets to avoid snowballing too quickly. With a successful fight in the dragon cave area, T1 successfully stopped the snowball coming from HLE. When the squad of many fighters has enough resistance equipment, T1 shows complete superiority over HLE. They easily finished the game and tied the game 1-1.
Game 3
Ban on T1 vs HLE game 3
HLE still has a very good early game position when successfully putting resources into Viper's main force Jinx. However, when Viper was at its strongest, T1 continuously aimed for HLE's gunner position, not giving Viper a chance to shoot in combat.
At 34 minutes, T1 showed exemplary fighting ability to get Baron and they pushed straight into HLE's base to get the 2nd win in this loser's bracket final.
Game 4
Ban on T1 vs HLE game 4
T1's top lane pick of Vayne was no longer a surprise and HLE completely controlled this champion in the early game. Although Viper's Zeri lost heavily on the road, the momentum was compensated with kills to have equal damage with Gumayusi.
However, T1 still showed incredible excellence when fighting around big objectives, from Gumayusi's Baron steal to the fight setup that brought the Dragon Soul to T1 at 39 minutes. This is also is the end of HLE! T1 is officially present at MSI 2024!
