T1 Spring 2022 deserves the “king of records” but the road ahead is still very long

In the match on the afternoon of March 20 (Vietnam time) in the framework of the last day of the group stage LCK Spring 2022, T1 excellently won 2-0 against DRX. More than just a victory against a strong opponent, this is also considered a historic match of Faker and teammates. T1 has officially set a new village record League of Legends: the first team in the history of this game to have the most perfect group stage.

T1 has set a super record with an unbeaten record of 18 matches in the group stage of the LCK Spring 2022, becoming the first team in the history of League of Legends to have the most perfect group stage.

Judging by broad criteria, T1 may not be the first team to have a 100% winning group stage. Before that, in Summer 2015, Fnatic can also do the same thing, but the LEC tournament only competes in BO 1 format. Therefore, with undefeated in a tournament using BO 3 format for the group stage, T1’s task is ten thousand times more difficult. . Therefore, T1’s record is more shimmering and is considered more perfect than FNC’s record.

Fnatic was also unbeaten in the group stage, but the LEC only played in a BO 1 . format

In addition, also in this victory, the T1 members also set themselves countless new records, breaking the old achievements of the previous seniors. First, it is impossible not to mention Faker’s “cousin” Gumayusi. Gumayusi and Keria have formed a pair that at the moment, it would be no exaggeration to say that this is the strongest bot lane in the world. On the day T1 set a super record, Gumayusi also officially surpassed Ruler on Gen.G Esports to become the ADC with the most kills in an LCK season with 219 kills. Ruler’s old record only reached 209.

The Gumayusi – Keria pair also set new records in an LCK season in terms of kills (for Gumayusi) and assists (for Keria).

Of course, referring to Gumayusi, it is impossible not to mention Keria. If Gumayusi is even better than Bang or even Piglet, then Keria is making the LCK “blown” by continuing to produce a super Support, after the days of “Drag Saints” MadLife or “kings of heroes”. weird pick” BeryL. Having made a huge contribution to T1’s super-record-setting journey, Keria also set a new record in the LCK with 462 assists, surpassing Wolf with 445 assists. Zeus became the youngest top laner in LCK history with an undefeated record after the group stage ended.

The previous record belonged to Ruler (Gen.G) and Wolf (SKT T1)

As for Faker, he was simply a legend and before the final matches of the group stage took place, Faker broke countless records, both his own and those of his colleagues or seniors. And most importantly, while most of the players holding the old records have long since retired, Faker is still playing. In other words, Faker broke the records of other players, but in turn, it may be a long time before anyone can reach the milestones that “Demon King” has established.

Faker is simply an immortal legend with countless records broken during this 2022 LCK Spring Split.

But, perfect as it is, Spring 2022’s T1 still has a long way to go to prove itself worthy of the legendary temple. FNC of Summer 2015 and SKT T1 of that same Summer both won the domestic championship after a perfect group stage. And for those who don’t know, FNC went to the Semifinals of Worlds 2015 after that and only lost to the mighty KOO Tigers. And the journey of SKT T1 2015 is even more magical. After a record of 14 consecutive wins in the 2015 LCK Summer Split, Faker and his teammates that year are also the most complete Worlds champions to date: losing only 1 game in the finals before reaching the top. world.

But T1 in Spring 2022 still has not been crowned in the domestic tournament as well as the achievement of only losing 1 game of SKT T1 at Worlds 2015 to aim for.

Repeat to see, at the moment, T1 of Spring 2022 is only preparing to complete a quarter of the way of this season. Ahead of them is still a series of extremely important playoffs, but even a small mistake can make the whole season’s effort “broken”. And yet, after that, it’s MSI 2022 – where T1, if representing the LCK, will have to shoulder the responsibility of reclaiming the glory for Korean LoL after DWG KIA defeated Royal Never Give Up in Iceland.

If T1 wins the LCK Spring 2022, they will have to shoulder the responsibility of regaining the glory for Korean League of Legends, first at MSI 2022.

Next, there is a 2022 LCK Summer that surely teams have started to “be in shape” more than this Spring. And finally, there is Worlds 2022 – where there is the 4th championship trophy that Faker has been waiting for for nearly 6 years, since he was last crowned in Los Angeles.

Next is the 2022 Summer LCK and then the 4th World Championship that Faker has been waiting for for nearly 6 years.

The evening of March 20 (Vietnam time) and probably many days later are probably very happy days for T1 in particular and all fans of the team and Faker fans around the world in general. But it can be said that the decisive stage of the journey has only just begun. Winning with a record of the most perfect season that LoL has ever seen or all just good memories, both need Faker and his teammates to try with more than 100% ability in the matches that await. .
