T1 2:1 Team Liquid (T1 is the winner)
Team Liquid started the LoL EWC semi-final with an absolutely amazing game. They destroyed T1! A sparkle of hope ignited the fire in the hearts of North American fans. T1 almost fully extinguished it in game 2. The Korean players were aggressive, initiated fights, and won them. They earned an impressive money advantage — and eventually made the match score even.
In game 3, Team Liquid had a promising start, with a slight gold and kill lead. But T1 managed to steal Baron and won an important fight to build their own advantage and then smash TL’s Nexus and the LoL Esports World Cup 2024 key.
The opponent of T1 in the final match has been decided in the second semi, and it's Top Esports.
“I’m just relieved that I’ve survived for another day. It was a really, really hectic game… Team Liquid is prepared a lot strategically, so we struggled a lot. In the first game, we suffered on the bottom lane, and in the third game, we suffered on the top lane. But in game 3 somehow we managed to fight it off.”
