If we talk about LPL's nemesis, it has to be T1, the team that has always stood in our way since S3, constantly putting us under pressure. They are known as the absolute rival of LPL! Some say that T1 doesn't care about their performance in LCK, but they always manage to showcase their skills when facing LPL, earning them the title of LPL's "father"! During the MSI Mid-Season Invitational, T1 faced two LPL teams, sweeping BLG 3-0 in one match and defeating AL 3-2 in another. Although they didn't win the MSI championship in the end, they truly performed impressively, applying immense pressure on LPL! One person who must be mentioned is Faker; from S3 until now, we are still competing against Faker, our lifelong rival truly represents the "city wall"! However, this time in the EWC League of Legends project, LPL has finally triumphed over Faker, and it was a complete sweep!

In the previous MSI Mid-Season Invitational, AL already performed excellently, showing great overall form and confidence against LCK teams, which gave them a good chance. They had lost in BO5 matches before, but now in the EWC, they're playing BO3, perfectly landing in their own territory. Previously, when AL faced HLE, they had already maximized their performance! In their peak form, AL faced T1 and decisively won 2-0, achieving a significant victory! It's worth noting that no team has been able to shatter T1's dominance in EWC so far, so AL said, "Let me handle it!" After the match, mid-laner Changkex revealed a determined look; for him, as the pillar of domestic mid-laners, defeating T1 this time is just the beginning. There is still much he wants to achieve for himself and for the future of LPL. Go for it, "Xiang Shen"!

With AL's victory over T1, they also successfully topped the trending searches. After all these years, it's truly the first time LPL has defeated T1 so decisively, boosting morale significantly! If we talk about the key player in this BO3 and AL's success throughout the year, it has to be the jungler Tarzan; he has been incredibly impactful! People used to say that he would falter in international matches, but from last year to this year, he has been giving his all! Wherever he goes, he brings a system with him, fostering his growth and driving the entire team's development; that's his strength! Let's look forward to AL facing GEN in the esports World Cup finals! Go for it!
