Was the first team in the world to defeat SKT T1 (T1) at an international tournament, when winning 3-2 at the 2015 MSI Finals, but perhaps few people imagined that,
That `love affair` just ended on October 12, when EDG destroyed Faker and his teammates in the second match of Group B of the 2021 World Championship. This victory ended a streak of 2,346.
Previously, EDG and T1 met 4 times, all of which were Bo1 matches in the Group Stage of Worlds 2015 and Worlds 2017. In all 4 times, EDG was defeated by Faker’s T1, even losing 2 matches in the World Championship 2015.

Perhaps still too haunted by past failures, many LPL fans, even die-hard fans of EDG, have even `forgotten` that they are the number 1 seed in China, while

As for LPL fans, many of them are still `confused`, when in the two World Championships in 2018 and 2019, neither IG nor FPX had the opportunity to face SKT/T1.
