T1’s Victory that Even the ‘World’s Absolute Law’ Couldn’t Stop [Lee Joo-hyun’s Login eSports]
T1, a member of the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), a domestic League of Legends (LoL) e-sports professional league, won the LoL World Championship (hereinafter referred to as Worlds) held on the 2nd.
In the finals held at the O2 Arena in London, England, T1 defeated Bilibili Gaming (BLG) of the Chinese league LPL with a set score of 3 to 2.
Following last year, they achieved two consecutive wins, winning Worlds for the fifth time in total.
T1 set several records with this win. 카지노사이트
First, they achieved two consecutive Worlds wins for the second time, following 2015 and 2016.
In addition, they achieved an unprecedented record of advancing to the finals three times in a row and winning two times in a row with the same team, known as ‘Geopeguke’, starting in 2022.
In addition, mid laner ‘Faker’ Lee Sang-hyeok renewed his title as the oldest winner, following last year.
He also solidified his title as the most kills in the world by surpassing 500 kills.
With T1‘s victory, the ‘absolute jinx’ that had been guarded like an iron fortress at Worlds was also broken.
That is, ‘the first letter of the summoner name of the starting top laner who won Worlds cannot overlap.’
This rule was kept from the start of Worlds in 2011 until last year, but it was broken again last year when Choi Woo-je, nicknamed ‘ZEUS’, lifted the championship trophy.
The first letter of the starting top laners who have won Worlds so far in the English alphabet is, in order of their winning record, X(Xpeke), S(Stanley), I(Impact), L(Looper), M(Marin), D(Duke), C(CuVee), T(TheShy), G(GimGoon), N(Nuguri), F(Flandre), K(Kingen), Z(Zeus), Z(Zeus).
Lee ‘Duke’ Ho-seong has won Worlds twice, but he was not a starter when he won in 2018.
What’s interesting is that if BLG had won, this jinx would have been followed again.
