LoL MSI 2024 Play-In Stage: T1 Advance Into Bracket Stage

With the League of Legends 2024 Mid-Season Invitational underway, many fans are gasping as they watch their favorite teams battle on the international stage against the best of the best from each region. The Play-In Stage has already shown a lot of amazing and fun games with the second-seed teams from the LPL, LCK, LEC and LCS regions fighting the first seeds from the LLA, PCS, CBLOL, and VCS regions for a chance to win it all.

MSI 2024 so far has been quite bloody with most matches going 2-0, but with 4 more games left, we may see some very surprising turns of events as the underdogs are not to be underestimated. Some wildcard teams have performed incredibly on the international stage, so we might see the fan-favorites struggling to keep up.

Having said that, we will take a look at T1's performance in the Play-In Stage as well as how they were able to secure their spot in the next stage of the tournament.

MSI 2024 T1 Performance During Play-In Stage

T1 vs EST Play-In Stage

We will take a look at all of the games T1 played during the 2024 MSI Play-In Stage. Their first match was against the LLA top seed- EST. To no one's surprise, T1 was able to efficiently outscale and outplay the Latin American team, as although the underdog regions have always struggled to keep up with the major regions in terms of macro and wave management, the individual talent on the roster is not to be underestimated.

Despite EST being able to hold their ground with some very flashy plays, ultimately T1 was able to stall out the game long enough and choke EST out of their minor advantages. Ultimately, the LLA put up quite a fight until the very end as their efforts were more than commendable. 

T1 vs FLY Play-In Stage

One of the most hyped games in the Play-In Stage, a lot of fans and analysts were looking forward to the LCK vs LCS matchup to see if the NA talent could defeat the 2023 World Champions. Ultimately, FLY was unable to contain T1 as their overly aggressive plays went unpunished, resulting in a very fast gold and objectives advantage that left FLY pushed into a corner. 

The League of Legends tournament is once again proving why the LPL and LCK regions perform astoundingly at international stages, however, the LEC and LCS are also not to be underestimated as we start heading into the Bracket Stage.
