t1 vs edward gaming

Both teams had a lot to prove in this match. Despite being the defending champions, EDG’s form has been quite shaky. On the other hand, many doubted T1’s chances this year after they got clean-swept in the 2022 LCK Summer grand finals. Ultimately, it was T1 who triumphed over EDG to begin their Worlds journey with a win.

While Gen.G is considered the favorite to win Summoner’s Cup this year, RNG’s victory shut down its hype train. Coming from the Play-Ins, the LPL third seed was in top form and countered Gen.G’s unorthodox picks quite beautifully. They secured all map objectives and won the game in 30 minutes.
