T1 holds an important factor before the opening match of the 2024 World Championship.


T1 possesses a scary historical element before the 2024 World Championship opening match


With just over half a day left, T1 and all the teams in the group stage will enter the Swiss World Championship 2024. This is also T1's first match at this year's World Championship and the opponent is also an unknown name. can't be overlooked - Top Esports. Although this team is not considered a bright candidate to win the 2024 World Championship, it has a squad rich in mutations.


At EWC 2024 a while ago, TES even defeated Gen.G and then lost to T1 itself. However, Faker and his teammates possess a historical element ahead of the rematch with TES.


T1 is about to have its opening match at Worlds 2024 and the opponent is TES


Specifically, throughout their history of participating in the World Championship, even in the period considered to be downhill, T1 has never failed in the opening match, no matter who the opponent is. In addition, in all of SKT T1/T1's opening matches at Worlds, there was only one time this team had to face an LPL representative, which was Edward Gaming at Worlds 2022. Everything after that was scheduled. history, for both T1 and "Blue Dragon" DRX. Worth mentioning, EDG also participated in the tournament as the defending champion.


Before the match with TES, T1 had only encountered a team from LPL once in the opening match and based on World Championship history, T1 had never lost an opening match.


But T1 cannot be subjective at Worlds 2024


It can be said that at Worlds 2024, it will be the first time T1 participates in this tournament where their squad is the one with the most doubts and is also the squad with the lowest performance, up to now. Because, in 2017 or 2019, SKT T1 was very strong at that time. Maybe they weren't really good in the Summer, but 2017's SKT T1 is the reigning MSI champion, 2019's SKT T1 is the defending LCK Summer champion. In 2021, T1 is again the runner-up of LCK Summer despite having just "changed champions midstream".


But the current T1 can be considered as bottoming out in both form and skill compared to previous Worlds.


Therefore, T1 of Worlds 2024 will still not be subjective. They may win TES but will also have a difficult journey immediately afterward. T1 fans will still have the right to hope that Faker and his teammates will do special things again. But if T1 loses a few games or a match, making the journey more difficult, that is completely understandable at this point.
