Once again, T1 is on its way to confirm their position as the world leading League of Legends team. The Korean elite players took down tournament favorites GenG in a stunning match at the League of Legends World Championship semi-finals in Paris.
But it wasn’t just the victory that had the crowd cheering: Right after T1’s triumph, ADC player Gumayusi found himself presented with a special prize—an oversized French croissant. The crowd erupted in cheers as Gumayusi accepted the flaky tribute, which was a reference to a conversation he previously had with tournaments presenter Laure Valée.
This wasn’t just any win, though. T1 shattered GenG’s perfect 10-0 record, proving once again why they are at the top of the competitive LoL world. The victory marks T1’s third straight final appearance and secures legendary mid-laner Faker’s seventh shot at the World’s title.
Fans were wondering if the organizers had a secret stash of croissants ready, since the joke would only make sense after a T1 victory. Apparently, T1’s victory came not as a surprise to everyone.
As the World Finals are only five days away, all eyes are on T1. Fans await to see if Faker will add another trophy to his legendary career. Let’s see if Gumayusi and the rest of T1 can keep up their momentum against Bilibili Gaming on Saturday.
