T1 claims EWC LoL honors in comeback win as records were broken—for all the wrong reasons
League of Legends giants T1 have emerged victorious at the inaugural Esports World Cup over LPL squad Top Esports, stepping up when it mattered most in the 3-1 win—but a record low number of fans tuned in to see the victory.
The Faker-led outfit was made to work for the win against a determined TES who looked on track to win without a game lost after downing Gen.G and G2. The Chinese squad, undefeated in the LPL Summer Split, opened the final with much fanfare after a 23-minute shellacking of the Korean squad, but Faker and co. managed to rebound and never looked back, winning three straight games to secure the trophy.
