T1 vs. Kwangdong Freecs Prediction on January 19, 2024

Match info

The regular season of LCK Spring 2024 (LoL Champions Korea Spring 2024) is underway this week. T1 and Kwangdong Freecs will close the third gameday of the group stage of an important LoL (League of Legends) tournament.

We'll try to see if T1 can easily defeat Freecs and collect the required points ahead of the playoffs and qualification for the Mid-Season Invitational 2024, or if Freecs can force at least a semblance of a game on their more formidable opponents. The match is scheduled for Friday, January 19, at 7:30 p.m. local time at LoL Park in Seoul.

Meeting statistics

The current form of T1

We begin our match analysis with T1. They are the favorites to win this match, according to every League of Legends bookmaker with odds of about 1.10. Generally speaking, the Freecs have little chance.

T1 performed at (for them) a typical level last season. Even though they were the best team in group stages in all of the major tournaments, they always failed to validate it later. After their victory at LCK Spring 2022, they placed second in three straight events: MSI, LCK Summer, and Worlds.

The 2023 season was also plagued by the Top 2s curse. Lee “Faker“ Sang-hyeok and teammates placed second in LCK Spring 2023 and third at MSI 2023.

For T1, LCK Summer 2023 posed a significant obstacle. The team narrowly avoided elimination from the regular season by finishing in fifth place in the group stage with a 9-9 record. Faker, the star of the team, was having issues. The renowned mid-laner sustained a hand injury, which clearly had an impact on T1’s overall display. However, he’s now somewhat back on course. The role of Faker again became important. T1 advanced to the following round, where they faced off against KT Rolster, but only after defeating Dplus, a formidable opponent. By the way, the former picked T1 as their opponent who earned a 3-2 victory. Gen.G was the rival of T1 in the playoff match and they prevailed despite trailing 1-2. Jeong “Chovy“ Ji-hoon outperformed Faker. T1 nearly fell to KT Rolster in the match to go to the grand final, trailing 0-2. Lee “Gumayusi“ Min-hyeong, who used Xayah to pull it off on the fifth map, saved them. They lost the championship game, though. T1 suffered a devastating 0-3 from their archenemy Gen.G.

T1’s match against Team Liquid marked the start of Worlds 2023. They won the match as overwhelming favorites in the series, but it wasn’t an easy victory because Liquid managed to hold on for 36 minutes and only suffered one kill. The series was concluded by T1 following the decisive mid-lane brawl. During the group stage, T1 faced their old nemesis – Gen.G. Faker and teammates had a strong start, but the #1 LCK team was the first to change the game’s tempo to suit them and ultimately prevail. T1’s next opponent, Cloud9, had no chance. T1 handily upset MSI 2023 vice-champions Bilibili Gaming, winning 2-0, later. LNG Esports was the opponent T1 faced in the playoffs. Lee “Scout“ Ye-chan, who was deservedly crowned the Worlds 2023 top player, was just that until November 5 when T1 destroyed his team to put an end to the series 3-0. T1 took against JD Gaming, who were arguably the strongest candidates to win the title, in the Worlds 2023 semifinals. Even with their great might, the Chinese couldn’t outmaneuver the more seasoned T1. With a score of 3-1, Faker & Co. prevailed, and T1 advanced to the League of Legends tournament’s grand final for the sixth (!) time; and then triumphed for the fourth time, setting a record for both competitive League of Legends and eSports overall.

T1 will make his LCK Spring 2024 debut against Gen.G.

The current form of Kwangdong Freecs

We’ll move on to the Freecs’. They are the underdogs in this match, with odds of victory ranging from 11.00 to 12.00. Regarding the team coached by Kim “cvMax“ Dae-ho, not much needs to be stated. They are outsiders in the event. KSante, the visitor, is their most successful hero with eight wins out of 10 games.

Head-to-head encounters

T1 is undefeated against Freecs in the professional ranks.
