Meeting statistics

The current form of T1

T1 had some difficulties during the LCK Spring 2024 regular season, placing third with a 15-3 record. Surprisingly, after showing no proper resistance in the game against Hanwha Life Esports (0-3), T1 got off to a bad start in the championship playoffs. With two wins in the Lower Bracket, they placed in the top two and became the second, and also the last, Korean team at MSI 2024. They easily made it to the bracket stage of the Mid-Season Invitational 2024 Play-In, where they had a 3-2.

T1 temporarily ended their run at LCK Summer 2024, where they had a 5-1 record, to compete at the Esports World Cup 2024. So they visited Riyadh in between regional competition matches, where they won the inaugural event and took home a $500,000 reward, defeating Top Esports in the championship match.

T1 finished the regular season 11-7 and in fourth place, going into the LCK Summer 2024 playoffs, which isn’t a respectable score for a club of their caliber. They struggled against HLE in the Upper Bracket semis, with strange drafts and subpar execution, but most importantly, their players didn’t appear to be on the same page. When it seemed that Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok & Co. had worked out some kinks, they lost to Hanwha Life Esports again, this time in the LB final, finishing in the top 3.

T1 advanced to the LCK Regional Finals, where they narrowly defeated KT Rolster 3-2 to earn a spot in the Worlds 2024. They lost a tough match to Top Esports in the first match. They then got 2-1 after handily defeating paiN Gaming and winning a close match against Bilibili Gaming. In the crucial match, T1 outperformed G2 2-0. They made their postseason debut in a matchup with Top Esports. In their whole history, T1 has never fallen to an LPL team in the Worlds playoffs. So was the case now: 3-0.

The current form of Gen.G Esports

Bookmakers that take cryptocurrency have Gen.G as small favorites in this match. They are 1.74 on SlotV.

Gen.G Esports participated in and won their first international event of the season, the Mid-Season Invitational 2024, following their victory in the LCK Spring 2024. As the MSI 2024 champions, Gen.G competed in the inaugural Esports World Cup 2024, placing them only in the top 8. With a 17-1 regular season record, the Koreans confidently advanced to the LCK Summer 2024 playoffs. They advanced straight to the second round of the postseason. Despite playing with poise during the playoffs, Gen.G Esports succumbed to HLE 2-3 in the championship match.

In the opening round of the Swiss Stage at Worlds 2024, they defeated Weibo Gaming. Subsequently, they defeated Top Esports, another LPL side, 2-0. To earn a spot in the playoffs, Gen.G defeated Hanwha Life Esports 2-0. They faced FlyQuest in the Quarterfinals. What was meant to conclude with the top Korean team winning without a fight evolved into a full-fledged Bo5, in which Gen.G Esports were on the verge of losing to the Americans, but ultimately prevailed 3-2.

Head-to-head

T1 and Gen.G faced off four times in the 2024 season. The latter won every match.

Match analytics

It stands to reason that T1 will lose. Almost without a chance, they had been losing to Gen.G Esports for the entire year. However, the situation drastically changed when it came to Worlds 2024. Here, Gen.G gave FlyQuest two maps, while T1 defeated the Chinese title squad 3-0. In conclusion, we believe that “Faker” and company will return to the Grand Final.

Tip: Match winner T1, with odds of 2.07 on LV BET.
