The League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), which hosts the Korean professional league of ‘League of Legends (LoL)’ esports, will hold the 2023 LCK Spring finals and finals at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 8th and 9th to show the spring of spring. It was revealed that the king was covered.
Gen.G and KT Rolster face each other in the final match to be held on the 8th. 토토사이트Gen.G lost to T1 1-3 in the winner’s match in the third round of the playoffs, and KT Rolster defeated Hanwha Life Esports 3-1 in the loser’s match. The two teams will decide the winner in a best-of-five match. The winning team will play the final match at the same place on the 9th, a day later.
The first team to advance to the final round is T1. T1, who took first place in the 2023 LCK Spring Regular League with a record of 17 wins and 1 loss and +27 set gains, defeated KT Rolster 3-2 in the 2nd round of the playoffs, then held Gen.G 3-1 in the 3rd round and made the final went straight to the finals.
Since the League of Legends team was founded in 2013 under the name of SK Telecom T1, this is the 14th final for T1. T1, which ranks first in the number of finalists, won 10 championships, including 2013 Summer, 2013-14 Winter, 2015 Spring, 2015 Summer, 2016 Spring, 2017 Spring, 2019 Spring, 2019 Summer, 2020 Spring, and 2022 Spring. occupied If they reach the top again this spring, T1 will lift their 11th LCK championship trophy.
T1’s representative player, mid laner Sang-hyeok “Faker” Sang-hyeok, was with them throughout the entire process. If he wins this time, he will set the record for the most victories among LCK coaches and players, overtaking coach Kim Jung-gyun of ‘Little Boy’.
T1’s opponent has not been decided yet, but experts are predicting T1’s advantage as they have never lost against Gen.G or KT Rolster this spring. Looking at the results predicted by domestic and foreign commentators and observers, all 12 participants said that T1 would win.
T1 coach Bae Seong-woong said at the media day of the LCK spring final held on the 4th, “Gen.G and KT Rolster are both strong opponents, but they are the teams we beat in the regular league and playoffs.” If we maintain the performance we showed before, I think we will be able to win again.”
Two tickets are at stake for Gen.G and KT Rolster’s final match to be held on the 8th. It is a ticket to the finals to challenge for the spring championship against T1 one day later and a ticket to the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) to be held in London, England in May.
Since the first Mid-Season Invitational in 2015, only one team that wins each regional competition has competed, but from 2023, two tickets are given to the four major regions, so you can participate in MSI simply by reaching the LCK Spring Finals.
It is an attractive motivator for Gen.G and KT Rolster players, who had few opportunities to compete in MSI as T1 had won six spring championships.
Looking at the opponent’s record since the introduction of the franchise in 2021 between Gen.G and KT Rolster, Gen.G is significantly ahead with 7 wins and 3 losses, but in both spring 2023 confrontations, KT Rolster won with a set score of 2-1.
In both matches, KT Rolster’s mid laner Bo-seong “Bidi-D” Kwak performed well and was selected as Player of the Game, so the condition of the mid laners is expected to emerge as a key variable in this final match.
If Gen.G wins, they will face T1 in the finals three times in a row from spring 2022 to summer 2022 and spring 2023. The case where two teams met in the finals three times in a row is a record that has not been made in the 11-year LCK history.
If KT Rolster wins, the mobile operator derby will be held in the final after 6 years. The two teams frequently faced off in the finals until the early and mid-LCK, but they haven’t met in the finals since the spring of 2017.
The winning team in the 2023 LCK Spring Finals held on the 9th will receive a championship ring from Tiffany & Co., a world-class jewelry house. Tiffany has partnered with the LCK since the 2021 summer season, and has been awarding championship rings to all winning teams in all four splits and bracelets to MVPs.
