Game 1: T1 Control the Match from Start to Finish
T1 started the series aggressively. They found early kills on Kiin’s Ambessa and Chovy’s Galio. Those plays gave them control of the early game.
Meanwhile, T1 secured the first two Dragons. Gen.G answered with a successful dive in the bottom lane. However, T1 quickly won the next fight. As a result, they kept the gold lead.
The game continued in T1’s favor. They claimed the third Dragon around the 18-minute mark. Later, Gen.G caught Faker’s Orianna near the top lane. However, that pick changed very little.
Soon afterward, T1 won a massive fight in mid lane. They immediately secured Dragon Soul and Baron Nashor. With both objectives, the game became almost impossible for Gen.G.
Finally, T1 pushed through the bottom lane. Gen.G could not defend their base. T1 destroyed the Nexus after only 29 minutes to take a 1-0 lead.
Game 2: T1 Produce an Incredible Comeback
Game 2 began very differently. This time, Gen.G controlled the early game.
Canyon’s Vi and Duro’s Shen invaded T1’s jungle. Together, they eliminated Oner’s Xin Zhao. Shortly afterward, Gen.G continued winning skirmishes across the map.
Although T1 killed Ruler’s Ziggs in the bottom lane, Gen.G stayed ahead. Faker’s Ryze was caught later in the game. Then Gen.G dominated the fight around the Void Grubs.
Kiin became the biggest star of the early game. His Varus secured a spectacular Quadra Kill. Because of that play, Gen.G built a lead of almost 4,000 gold after 22 minutes.
At that point, the series looked ready for a third game.
However, T1 refused to give up.
Phase Turns the Series Around
Instead of forcing risky plays, T1 stayed patient. They focused on farming and protecting their carries. The turning point came around Baron Nashor.
Gen.G tried to secure the objective. However, Phase’s Ezreal had already reached a powerful item spike. He dealt huge damage from a safe position throughout the fight.
At the same time, Doran’s Jax created space for the rest of the team. Together, they wiped out Gen.G and secured Baron.
That single fight completely changed the game.
With Baron Buff, T1 pushed every lane. Gen.G could not recover. T1 won the final teamfight and destroyed the Nexus to complete the 2-0 sweep.
T1 Send a Strong Message
This victory means much more than two wins.
First, T1 regained confidence after losing to KT Rolster. Second, they proved they can beat elite teams under pressure. Finally, they reminded everyone why they remain one of the favorites to win the LCK title.
Faker once again provided strong leadership. Oner controlled the pace of the game. Meanwhile, Phase delivered the biggest performance of the series. His Ezreal was the key reason behind T1’s comeback in Game 2.
Overall, T1 looked disciplined in every stage of the match. If they continue playing at this level, they will be one of the strongest contenders for the LCK 2026 Split 3 championship.
