Despite allowing Liiv SANDBOX to win game 1, T1 had 2 destructive games later to extend their winning streak
T1 crushed Liiv SANDBOX in today’s most dominating three-game series and is now just one match away from the LCK’s first 18-0 split. With an opponent ranked lower than the group, the team seeks to win their next match of the LCK Spring 2022 group stage in order to prolong their unbeaten streak. Furthermore, they will play against DRX a few days later, an opponent who is regarded as considerably tougher. As a result, this encounter might provide a good mentality for T1 players.
In game one, T1 controlled the whole game, while SANDBOX trailed. They accepts to ignore the Dragon in order to take advantage of the Rift Herald in order to push in LSB lane fast. It appeared to be a typical game until the very last seconds when SANDBOX top laner Dove saved the team with his Gragas caskets to take the game away.
After falling behind 0-1 in the series, T1 reclaimed command with two back-to-back sub-25-minute victories to dispel any doubts that had begun to form. Game two lasted barely 21 minutes since Keira kept a tight hold on SANDBOX with his flawless Nautilus play.
Then, in game three, while LSB had moments of hope, T1 players, particularly Oner and Gumayusi, played considerably better. SANDBOX was outclassed and outsmarted by Oner’s early game maneuvers. Faker and his teammates thwarted Liiv SANDBOX’s every attempt, finishing the third game in 24 minutes.
This victory gets the team closer to Invictus Gaming’s 18-match winning streak, but more significantly, it brings the team closer to the league record of a flawless group stage that a team may achieve.
