Since Gen.G began implementing the policy of building an “all-star” squad with established players in each position, they have become a “great rival” with the most debt to T1. From LCK Spring 2022 until now, the two teams have clashed 6 times in the finals of the domestic tournament and Gen.G is dominating with 4 championships. At the same time, they are also the only team in LCK history to win this tournament 4 times in a row.
Gen.G has won the championship for the 4th time in a row
The reasons for T1's failure are many, including both objective and subjective. Of course, in a top-notch match like the recent LCK Spring 2024 final, even the smallest mistake can lead to consequences. And even players who are familiar with the final atmosphere like Chovy or Faker also have extremely awkward situations. The only thing is, T1 has a player with the worst stats in the entire team. He is even worse than Keria or Lehends – who are Support players. That is Zeus, who is considered one of the three main forces of T1 and is Kiin's direct opponent.
Zeus continued to have a very forgettable final match
Accordingly, in all 5 games of the final, Zeus owned a KDA of 2/18/24. For a player who specializes in Gladiator champions and is an important damage output, Zeus lies down too much and has too few kills. Of course, in only one game out of 5 games did Zeus use a damage fighter like Aatrox. But if you look at Kiin, with just general K'Sante, right at the beginning of game 5, Gen.G's superstar had as many kills as all 5 games of Zeus combined.
Zeus's very bad KDA statistics after 5 games
Zeus' performance in the final was clearly not as expected. Besides games 2 and 3, which partly shined thanks to Oner's maximum support, Zeus has not shown that he can be a support for the entire team in the difficult T1 period. Faker even had a much better performance than Zeus even though the “Demon King” only played the main role of make play. At the same time, many viewers also compared him with TheShy – Zeus's direct opponent in the 2023 World Championship final. In that match, “Shy ca” also had extremely bad stats and it was Zeus who ” shut down” completely “Top God”.
The famous male streamer immediately compared him with TheShy: “I said you will become like TheShy. My greatest player is still inherited.”
At the upcoming MSI 2024, Zeus will still be the main damage dealer of T1. But clearly, he needs to urgently improve his form and maintain the best condition throughout if he does not want the home team to continue to “hold grudges” in another tournament.
