T1 vs. DRX League of Legends LCK 2023 Summer Split: Head-to-head, livestream details, and more

Next week in the League of Legends LCK 2023 Summer Split, T1 will go up against DRX. The former has a record of seven wins and seven losses and is in fifth place. DRX, on the other hand, possesses a 3-11 record and is in 10th place. Although everyone expects T1 to come out on top, their squad is struggling because of Faker's absence. Unfortunately, they have only won one out of their last eight games without him.

To secure a spot in the League of Legends LCK 2023 Summer Split Playoffs, DRX must come out on top against T1 and win all of their remaining matches.

Preview of T1 vs. DRX at League of Legends LCK 2023 Summer Split Group Stage

Prediction

The LCK 2023 Summer Split Group Stage's teams are battling for the fifth and sixth spots with only two weeks left. T1's chances of making it to the Playoffs are dwindling due to a string of losses. The only teams that have secured spots so far are KT Rolster, GenG, Hanwha Life Esports, and Dplus KIA.

T1 struggled a lot in their previous match against BRION, ultimately losing to the underdogs. The substitution of Faker with Yoon "Poby" Seong-won hasn't worked at all, as the overall team chemistry and playmaking potential have gone downhill.

Even before Poby joined this squad, their top-laner, Choi "Zeus" Woo-je, disclosed in an interview that the team was already facing certain problems. He also stated:

"Before Faker's injury, the ongoing issues started to accumulate, leading to a point where they were affecting the players' individual performance."

DRX, in contrast, finds themselves in quite a dire situation with their consistently lackluster showings. Their chances of advancing to the next stage appear rather slim. Even a victorious outcome in their remaining matches may not be enough to secure their qualification. Currently occupying last place in the League of Legends LCK 2023 Summer Split Group Stage, they have a bumpy road ahead.

Despite their overall abysmal team performance, there is a glimmer of hope for this team with their jungler, Kim "Croco" Dong-beom, displaying decent gameplay recently.

Despite playing without Faker, it's expected that T1 will win the series 2-1. Moreover, there's a slight chance that Faker might make a comeback in this team's starting lineup. That's mainly because he's been consistently playing on ranked and League of Legends: Arena on his second account recently.
