And their loss also meant that there won’t be an all-LPL semifinal showdown at Worlds 2023.
Faker was also instrumental in the team’s first game win as he secured a perfect KDA of 3/0/8.
The second game was marginally better from LNG but it still wasn’t enough to hold T1 back.
Gumayusi also played Varus to near-perfection as he got half of the team’s eight kills in the game.
LNG would eventually get outplayed by T1 as they got held to just three kills yet again.
If they are successful, they will face either Weibo Gaming or Bilibili Gaming in the other semifinal series.
