T1 vs Gen.G: Worlds 2024 Semifinals Preview
It’s the biggest rivalry in South Korea and it’s likely the biggest one of the past few seasons: T1 and Gen.G meet again at Worlds 2024 and this time around, a ticket to the Grand Final in London is on the line.
Gen.G came into Worlds 2024 as the tournament favorites and dominated early on before butting heads with the most unexpected rival, FlyQuest. What was supposed to be an easy series turned out to be one of the most stressful series of the season, as Gen.G were on the brink of being eliminated after Game 3. Their resilience, however, brought them alive and now, they will face their arch nemesis to close off the 2024 season.
It might be fate or it might be written in the stars, but T1 is not backing off from a potential second title and three consecutive Worlds finals.
Despite all the downs and barely making it to Worlds as the LCK #4 seed, T1 has stepped up immensely, dominating LPL’s #2 seed TES in the quarterfinals and showcasing one of the most dominant games in recent history, giving no kills to the enemy team.
Who is advancing and who will see their year come to an end? Find out in our breakdown.
T1 vs Gen.G Series Breakdown & Expectations
If there is a team that seems to have found a magic formula for themselves, it’s T1 once again. Throughout the series against TES, the Korean team kept suppressing the enemies with a number advantage and ultimately forcing them into mistakes.
The key to such outcomes was none other than Keria, who was often roaming around the map to create pressure points and make sure the team could have laners in advantageous game states, especially before the objective spawned. T1 wouldn’t necessarily force the fights but rather wait for the enemy to make a misstep and capitalize on small leads, which slowly compounded into an unrecoverable gap.
Gen.G, on the other hand, continued to have a more textbook playstyle, similar to HLE. FLY was able to punish that in their quarterfinal match, although Gen.G was still the squad with better players who could pull off their Worlds pick and ban drafts better. A big question mark for this series will be on Gen.G’s approach: will they look to refine their usual playstyle or will they come up with something new? This will be a big point for the entire series.
All players seem to be in good form and the gap is basically non-existent. It’s a 50-50 across the board and it will only swing based on how the players show on the day.
