Despite an early loss from their domestic rivals, Faker and co. took a flawless victory against Cloud9, and used that momentum to catapult to the front of placements. There, 3 of the best Chinese rosters stood in their way, but nothing was going to stop them. With only 2 losses throughout Worlds, T1 blazed through the titans of JDG in a momentous semifinal and beat Weibo Gaming in a 3-0 series for the 2023 Summoner's Cup.

The best-of-five series between T1 vs WBG started in applause as Oner and co. picked off-meta champs they were famous for in past tournaments, while WBG played things safe in their draft. And despite Weibo getting first-blood over Faker, the LCK's last hope were still able to clinch a complete turnaround. The second game was even more of a commanding victory.
