Hello to all LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is Tianxia Game Hub.
Yesterday, T1 competed in the fourth match of the LCK group stage showdown against BFX, a team that gave T1 significant difficulties last year and was a tough rival to handle.

Ultimately, T1 battled through all three games against BFX and emerged victorious.
T1 takes the first win by turning around the Dragon Soul fight.
BFX’s key player is their bot laner Diable, who dominated T1 last year with exceptional mechanical skills. He is considered a rising star in the LCK bot lane and the opponent T1 needed to be most cautious of. However, in the first game yesterday, T1’s bot lane gained a considerable advantage.

Keria was in outstanding form this match, with his Nami laning helping the team secure an early lead. Seeing this, BFX attempted a tower dive on the bot lane, but T1’s quick support arrived in time to easily thwart the attack and secure kills to extend their lead.
Soon after, BFX leveraged the duo synergy of Taliyah and Nocturne to continuously pressure T1, and at every dragon spawn timing, BFX held the advantage and secured the dragon soul countdown.

At a critical moment, T1 capitalized on a misstep by BFX’s mid-jungle coordination, using double mobility on their bot lane to counterattack, kill Taliyah, and secure Baron Nashor.
Although T1 lost the Dragon Soul due to terrain control by BFX, Peyz’s impressive frontline initiation helped the team win another teamfight. In the final Elder Dragon contest, with seasoned containment tactics, T1 defeated their opponents to take the first game.
Faker’s black hole hero appears, with hilarious blunders throughout.
After winning the first game, T1 began hero practice, with Faker picking Yone — previously criticized as Faker’s so-called “black hole hero.” In this game, Faker repeatedly made funny mistakes, dying twice early due to enemy focus, and his ultimate miss on top lane stunned the audience.


On the bot side, Diable’s Lucian secured lane kills and successfully extended his lead with a counter gank.
BFX maintained dragon control again, securing the Ocean Dragon Soul smoothly. During this, Faker made another outrageous engagement error. It seemed like BFX would dominate, but during their push on the base, their top laner’s misplay initiating a fight into a wall allowed T1 to counterattack, snatching multiple resources and sounding the comeback alarm. However, in the final Baron teamfight, T1 still fell to BFX, who had the Ocean Dragon Soul advantage.

The match entered the decisive final game, where BFX picked Keria’s Bard. Many viewers immediately predicted a T1 victory. Keria’s Bard delivered a divine performance, and when the early game was even, Keria’s roam to top lane with a reverse Q-flash on Ahri amazed everyone.

With a team advantage, T1 pushed the bot tier two turret. When BFX initiated, Keria’s crucial ultimate saved the team multiple times, playing a key role in securing the win.
T1 looks set for a clean sweep as the group stage rivalry heats up.
In the final game, Oner’s Pantheon transformed into a battle god, dealing massive damage that BFX couldn’t handle. At one point, Oner was chasing three opponents alone. Peyz’s Kai'Sa was also in top form. With teammates performing excellently, Peyz earned the Player of the Match award, which is great news for T1.

Previously, Peyz had been underperforming for the team, but in this round against the fierce Diable, he showed an outstanding performance, proving he has now integrated well with the team and is showcasing his talent.
After this match, T1 has achieved a four-game winning streak and is on track for a perfect record. The LCK’s Super Week is approaching soon. The competition in the first stage of the LCK group matches is intense, and after this game, the Dragon group leads by only one win, making Super Week crucial.
The reason the Dragon group, which includes strong teams like GEN and T1, hasn’t pulled ahead is mainly because the lower-ranked teams have been weak and have hardly scored any points.

In my opinion, the strongest teams in the first stage remain GEN and T1. Even if the Dragon group doesn’t win the group stage clash in the end, it won’t make much difference. T1 will have the chance to meet GEN at their peak later in the first stage, so everyone can look forward to how the LCK scene develops next.
