In the 2024 League of Legends<\/a> Mid-Season Invitational, T1 delivered a decisive 3-0 victory over G2 Esports in the lower bracket semi-final, continuing their dominance over the European team.<\/p>\n

It has been five years since G2 last won a best-of-five series against T1, and this matchup showcased why that streak remains unbroken.<\/p>\n

In game one, T1, on the blue side, prioritized Orianna, forming a team composition around ball carriers with Sejuani at the front line.<\/p>\n

G2 countered with high single-target burst damage champions like Draven, LeBlanc, and Kha\u2019Zix, and chose Jax to counter Camille in the top lane.<\/p>\n

The early game saw lane swaps and an even gold and kill score, but T1 maintained control of the dragon.<\/p>\n

The first major skirmish in the mid-game saw Choi \u201cZeus\u201d Woo-je\u2019s Camille leading the charge, ultimately outlasting G2\u2019s carries and securing crucial kills.<\/p>\n

Zeus continued to be pivotal in subsequent fights, targeting the enemy AD carry and helping T1 to a 26-minute victory.<\/p>\n

G2 reworked their draft for game two, selecting champions with executes and resets: Draven, Viego, and Urgot, alongside Nautilus for reliable engage.<\/p>\n

They aggressively targeted Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok early, burning his flash and securing kills to gain an early lead.<\/p>\n

Despite this, T1\u2019s composure allowed them to catch up, with Faker scaling in the side lane.<\/p>\n

T1\u2019s strategic prowess shone as they sneaked a Baron past G2, secured the fourth dragon, and dominated the second Baron fight.<\/p>\n

Faker\u2019s late-game teleport clinched the game, demonstrating his resilience and determination to win despite early setbacks.<\/p>\n

G2 picked Tristana for the mid lane and Braum for support in game three, aiming to kite back and reengage with Ivern\u2019s protection for their AD carries.<\/p>\n

T1 responded with a strong mid-jungle duo in Taliyah and Vi, adding Rumble for AOE control.<\/p>\n

An early mistake from Zeus gave G2 first blood, forcing T1 into a defensive stance.<\/p>\n

The game was a tense back-and-forth until T1 capitalized on Rasmus “Caps” Winther being alone in the mid-lane, using multiple ultimates to secure a critical pick.<\/p>\n

With Chemtech Soul, G2 started Baron, but Faker\u2019s timely Weaver\u2019s Wall and Moon “Oner” Hyeon-joon\u2019s Baron steal sealed the series.<\/p>\n
