In the great battle on the afternoon of February 12 (Vietnam time) within the framework of the 4th week of the LCK Spring 2022, T1 won a convincing 2-0 victory over Gen.G Esports. This is a very important victory for T1. Not only defeating 1 more opponent, extending the unbeaten streak to 8 consecutive matches, but Faker and his teammates overcame 1 more direct opponent on the quest for the title in this 2022 season.
T1 won convincingly against Gen.G Esports in the great war
However, it must also be acknowledged that Gen.G encountered many difficulties before entering the match against T1. In turn, the main players of the team, Peanut, Lehends, and Doran, had to take a break due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic. Gen.G had to summon young names from under the LCK Challengers to fill their positions. Even in the match against T1, Chovy also had to return to the top lane position – where he also had time to play instead of the familiar mid lane position. The one who takes on the role of mid for Gen.G in the match against T1 is Quid. And defeating Faker is a somewhat overwhelming request for this young player.

Many viewers also commented that T1’s victory over Gen.G was much easier when Chovy’s team lost too many pillars. The victory of Faker and his teammates is still a convincing victory, but the Covid-19 pandemic has made this match lose its attractiveness as it should have. Many people also believe that Gen.G “self-destructed”, especially in game 1, after having obtained the Soul of the Earth Dragon.
The subs are really disappointing, but there’s nothing they can do about it, they should have postponed the game
Every time Gen.G has an advantage, T1 leads with a bigger advantage
The most predictable match ended without being as exciting as expected because of Covid-19. Hope to see the full line-up of 2 teams in the second leg
T1 had a fun game
The match was probably the “What-if” match of the season. So sad
T1 will be the strongest team in the world if they keep growing. Looking at them now and compared to 1 year ago is really surprising!
However, victory is still victory and the T1 players also showed great bravery despite being taken away by many of their advantages. With the passing of Gen.G, the possibility for T1 to end the first leg series with an unbeaten record is wide open, especially their last opponent in the first leg series is KT Rolster – a team that is extremely outstanding. drop. If they can continue to maintain their unbeaten streak, T1 will have a good psychological premise before starting the second leg series as well as opening the opportunity to break their own unbeaten record established in Summer 2015.
