In League of Legends Worlds 2023, T1's performances have witnessed gradual improvement. Despite arriving as an underdog after a shaky outing in the LCK 2023 Summer, their reputation as a top contender has become solidified.
Defeating LNG Esports in the Quarterfinals was an impressive display of power by T1. Their comprehensive masterclass culminated in a 3-0 series win. The players themselves were exceptional, with seamless team fights and precision objective controls being key factors throughout.
To secure a win over JDG, T1's top lane and bot lane must conclusively overpower the opposition players. Moon "Oner" Hyeon-joon, T1's jungler, holds the most sway on the team and must outperform JDG's jungler Seo "Kanavi" Jin-hyeok.
JDG, on the other hand, is on a roll following recent tournament victories. The team has already added two LPL trophies and the MSI championship to their trophy haul. A win against T1 would bring them one step closer to achieving the elusive League of Legends Grand Slam. To etch their names in history, they would need to follow this victory with a Grand Final win against Weibo Gaming.
JDG boasts five elite players, and currently, they can outclass anyone on the planet. Their greatest asset is Park "Ruler" Jae-hyuk, the South Korean ADC who dominates in the Summoner's Rift. He is widely regarded as the best player in the world.
The matchup between T1 and JDG is expected to be electrifying and could take all five games to reach a conclusion. The series is likely to end with T1 emerging victorious 3-2, as their impressive history against Chinese teams on Worlds adds to their significant momentum.
