It does seem like EDward Gaming and T1 Faiths always intervene. These two teams have been neck-and-neck even in League of Legends. Within VALORANT, EDward Gaming have faced T1 six times. In those six matches, both teams won three games each.
EDward Gaming has the edge with the new rosters, as they defeated T1 during this event. It is worth noting that EDward Gaming made a lower bracket run into the grand finals during VCT CN. They are used to being in a position where they could be eliminated and have proven to be able to handle the pressure.
This roster of T1 during VCT Pacific made a flawless run in the upper bracket until the Grand Finals. During the Swiss Stage of VALORANT Masters Bangkok, T1 proved they could defeat their demons when the chips are down. They did this by defeating DRX for the first time in VALORANT Esports.
A Detailed Breakdown
All eyes are going to be on T1. During this entire event, they have seemed to be the dark horses. The team that many haven’t given the recognition it deserves but has been slowly improving on a match-by-match basis. During their recent match against Team Vitality, they could quickly shut down Derke. There wasn’t a single moment in the game where one could feel like the duelist is getting back in form.
When T1 faced off against EDward Gaming last time during VALORANT Masters Bangkok, they could shut down ZmjjKK to a certain extent. During that match, ZmjjKK had 17 first deaths, proving that T1 knew how to isolate and take him down. In this match, the goal for T1 is quite simple: to shut down ZmjjjKK and Chichoo.
Chichoo is the anchor for the team who people should be vary about. While he won’t be doing anything fancy, his fundamentals are some of the bests in the tournament. If T1 wishes to win, they need to be ready to have strategies against one of the best players in the world.
