Acting T1 head coach Lim “Tom” Jae-hyun, who defeated Hanwha Life Esports and won his first win of the season, pledged to start with one win and ensure that the team continues to win consecutively.
T1 won 2-0 in the ‘Saturday Showdown’ against Hanwha Life Esports held at the LCK Arena at Grand Seoul LoL Park in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 4th. T1, which lost in the opening match against KT Rolster, recorded a win on this day and recorded 1 win and 1 loss.
Acting coach Lim Jae-hyeon expressed his feelings about the victory, saying, “It’s a good day because we won 2-0, but I think there were a lot of bad parts. I think we need to give good feedback and fix those parts.”
This is T1, which lost on the opening day against KT Rolster. Acting Manager Lim explained, “There seemed to be a difference between what we thought of in the champion tier and what other teams thought,” and added, “We talked about it and gave feedback focusing on the areas that were lacking in the operational stage.”
Regarding the interpretation of this meta, Acting Manager Lim Jae-hyun said, “During the LCK Cup, I thought the top team was less sensitive, but this time, there are a lot of sensitive structures. I think it is good for the mid and jungle to take advantage of the initiative in the early stages and influence the side.”
T1’s next opponent is Gen.G Esports. Acting Manager Lim said, “We started off poorly with a loss in the opening game,” and pledged, “I will continue to show improvement. I will start with one win and work hard to continue with consecutive wins.”
