The League of Legends World Championship (Worlds) has concluded its Swiss Stage and is now entering the Quarter-finals. All four LCK teams achieved the remarkable feat of advancing to the top eight. However, T1, which secured the final ticket, left fans concerned with their unstable performance.

On the 25th, the final day of the Swiss Stage, T1 faced off against LEC's Movistar KOI. Even 'Gumayusi', who had been putting up a solo fight, showed signs of faltering. However, thanks to 'Faker', who anchored the mid lane with 'zero deaths' across two sets and delivered clutch plays, the team barely managed to secure their spot in the Quarter-finals. The burden of 'carrying' the team has effectively shifted from Gumayusi to Faker. While the appearance of a protagonist who saves the team in a crisis is welcome, the players need to pull themselves together if they wish to navigate the remaining schedule stably. Especially since their Quarter-final opponent is the LPL juggernaut 'Anyone's Legend', which handed both Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports a defeat during the Swiss Stage, a more solid performance is required.
