Faker targets two formidable opponents, many "grudge" with T1 at Worlds 2024

Faker “names” two formidable names

One of the teams that many players and other teams are looking forward to at Worlds 2024 is probably T1. Not only is it the defending champion of Worlds 2023, but in the journey last year, T1 defeated many formidable opponents. Notably, all 4 representatives from LPL were defeated by T1 on the journey to the pinnacle of glory. Even Faker's amazing handling of the match against JD Gaming became an inspiration and is still mentioned over and over again until now.

However, for Faker himself, he also has opponents he wants to meet again at the upcoming CKTG 2024. Accordingly, in a recent interview, Faker pointed out 2 formidable names that he wants to face in the upcoming CKTG 2024 matches: “We lost to BLG at MSI 2024. Although T1 later defeated them at EWC 2024, I still think BLG and TES are very strong teams. I hope to be able to compete with these teams again. Not only because this is a competition between regions, but many viewers will also look forward to such a match.”

BLG is a rival with many fates with T1.

Compared to TES, BLG is the team that has more “grudges” with T1 and the LPL representative is also the name that defeated T1 in the two loser bracket finals at two consecutive MSIs. Although T1 later had revenge matches against BLG, it is clear that the defeats against BLG at MSI have always prevented T1 from reaching glory in this tournament. Moreover, at the present time, BLG is considered one of the top 2 teams in the world (alongside Gen.G). To be able to face BLG, T1 may have to reach the 2024 World Championship final. Meanwhile, TES was T1's loser at EWC 2024.

But the “China-Korea war” in the League of Legends world will also bring a lot of emotions to the audience. Therefore, if they can continue to defeat the LPL teams and win the championship again, T1's achievement will be much greater.
