T1 vs Estral Esports at League of Legends MSI 2024 Play-In
Prediction
T1, once again qualified for another international tournament after an almost spectacular split in the LCK. "Almost" because the team lost the Grand Final against GenG after a remarkable Silver Scrap series.
Despite T1 winning the LoL Worlds trophy last year, the team failed to win several recent tournaments by not winning the Grand Final. As for the MSI, T1 last won this specific tournament back in 2017.
Following the victory in previous Worlds, T1 retained all five players. Although each of them can turn around any game on its own, some of the players are inconsistent. T1's Toplaner, Zeus, has had some underwhelming performances during important matches.
T1's biggest strength lies in the Botlane. Thus, Gumayusi and Keria must bring their A-game in every match to win the tournament.

Meanwhile, fans are not sure how Estral Esports is going to perform on the international stage. They dominated the LLA Opening and destroyed all their opponents to win the tournament.
Estral's Argentine ADC, Snaker, has shown impeccable performances and won the Botlane matchups using Lucian and Kalista. Despite not being considered as one of the best ADCs participating in the League of Legends MSI 2024, he has the potential to go up against anyone.
Prediction: T1 is anticipated to get a clean 2-0 victory against Estral Esports.
Head-to-head

Previous results
