T1 bounce back on Day 2 of The International 2022 LCQ, securing an upper bracket spot
The first day of the Last Chance Qualifiers was tough for the T1 squad. After coming in with high hopes for the LCQ, T1 disappointed the fans with a slow start. Despite having a more difficult fixture on day two, T1 could secure some much-needed wins to secure an upper-bracket spot.
T1 was matched against Virtus Pro in the first series of the day. Off to a solid start to the match, T1 continued its lead for almost 30 minutes. The squad was having trouble closing out the game due to a lack of stunning and crowd-controlling abilities in their lineup. Pinning down VP’s Ember Spirit and Morphling was proving to be a difficult challenge with Nature’s Prophet, Primal Beast, Disruptor, and Slark at T1’s disposal, but the team was able to close out the match at the 50-minute mark. Though the second match was also quite close, T1 lost control of the match after 30 minutes and continued to get picked up by VP, ultimately leading to a loss.
