The Path to T1’s 2023 Title
Right from the start, the video highlights T1’s journey to claim the Worlds 2023 crown. We see key moments like Oner’s iconic Rell play against LNG Esports, Faker’s unforgettable Azir Emperor’s Divide against JDG’s Ruler, and of course, the Grand Finals showdown against Weibo.

Some of the highlighted challengers include Bin from BLG (Jax), Massu from FlyQuest (Varus), Caps from G2 Esports (LeBlanc, Sylas), and Chovy from Gen.G (Akali).
These players storm the castle where T1 resides, and a fierce battle ensues. Oner, representing Viego and later Lee Sin, along with Zeus (Aatrox), Gumayusi (Xayah), and Keria (Nautilus), prepare to defend their title.
The Final Showdown
As the intense battle rages on, T1 starts to retreat, setting the stage for Faker’s epic entrance. Represented by Azir, one of his signature champions, Faker and his squad gear up for the final fight, which transitions to the climactic start of Worlds 2024.
All Regions Represented
At the end of the video, we see armies from various regions surrounding the castle but not yet engaging, possibly symbolizing the spectators. The banners display logos from major regions, including LPL, LCS, LEC, PCS, CBLOL, LCK, and, of course, LLA.
