T1 vs Nongshim in League of Legends LCK Summer 2024 Regular Season (August 9, 2024): Can T1 bounce back from the previous defeat?
T1 is going through rough times currently in the LCK Summer 2024. With underwhelming performances, a loss against GenG last week, and Faker's subsequent disturbances, fans are worried if the team can recover from all aspects.
Although the meta is expected to shift following the release of the League of Legends patch 14.16, T1 must win most of its remaining four games in the LCK (which will be played in 14.15) to book the playoff stage spot. T1's next games are against Nongshim, BRION, Kwangdong Freecs, and FearX.
Meanwhile, Nongshim's next matches are against T1, Dplus, DRX, and BRION. As the team is currently in eighth place with a 3-11 record, Nongshim must win all of these games for a potential qualification. Achieving this will be quite tough, as it also requires teams like KT Rolster and Kwangdong Freecs to lose all their remaining games.
Prediction: T1 should win 2-0 against Nongshim.
