(Thethaovanhoa.vn) - Prior to the 2023 season, LPL media has already made assessments, particularly about T1's loss to DRX.
At present, the lingering echoes of the 2022 Worlds Finals have completely dissipated. However, for T1 players, especially Faker, that defeat remains a profound lesson and memory. Because they lost to a team that has always been considered weaker throughout the past years.

Recently, LPL media has provided insights into the situation of teams both within the region and against LCK opponents. According to them, LPL seems to be significantly inferior to its major rival. However, being completely eliminated after the semifinals might not be too catastrophic. In fact, viewed positively, this could be an opportunity for LPL teams to adjust and strengthen their power. However, there are not many optimistic views on this direction, especially considering that LPL's issues have persisted for a long time.

But notably, LPL media also believes that T1's failure lies in the Top Lane position. Specifically, T1's gameplay in the Finals didn't assist Zeus much. According to LPL media analysis, Zeus used champions suitable for his style. However, T1 couldn't support Zeus as much as DRX supported Kingen. Although T1 isn't a team known for their top-centric playstyle, Zeus losing significantly to Kingen led to T1 losing control of the match.

There have been numerous analyses revisiting T1's failure in the Finals against DRX, all backed by specific evidence. Currently, DRX no longer maintains the lineup that wonthe World Championship 2022 together, while T1 just extended with Faker. However, it's certain that T1 will have to exert even more effort in the new season, especially as they face many formidable opponents, notably DK and HLE.
