“The undefeated record against the LPL in Bo5 series is a part of T1's tradition, and I will do my best to ensure that tradition is not broken.” (Keria)
Despite the reassurance from "Tcha," many fans remain fully skeptical. T1's form can arguably be said to be at its lowest point in many years when going into Worlds. Conversely, AL is currently in an excited state, having just achieved a perfect 3–0 win in the Swiss Stage.
T1 has tradition, class, and history. But AL has hunger, form, and belief.
Between the "old dynasty" and the "rising challenger," this Bo5 match is not only a battle of skill, but a test to see whether T1 can maintain the pride of a champion.
