In an interview with the media, coach Bengi shared the reason why T1 failed and apologized to the fans.
Reporter: The match against BLG was your last match at MSI.
We always aim to win the championship, but this time we didn’t even make it to the final, so it’s a shame.
Reporter: Looking back at today’s series, you invested a lot of bans in the jungle.
We highly recommend Maokai, Vi and Wukong.
Reporter: At MSI, tanker options are given priority in the top lane, but T1 chose Jax, it seems like you are trying to force Bin into a 1vs1 match?
We thought Jax would come in handy.
Reporter: Annie is one of the important champions at this MSI.
At first, if we chose a tanker champion to counter Annie, we could limit her power and benefit from it.
Reporter: But you still won game 3. What was the response like after the first two games?
We almost won game 1, and that’s okay.
Reporter: What is the biggest reason for today’s loss?
Not winning games we could have won, and losing games that were absolutely devastating.
Reporter: How did the players accept the defeat?
We will have to discuss the loss, but I feel that they are quite disappointed.
Reporter: What did you learn from MSI 2023?
Personally, it takes courage and confidence to switch to plan B when the initial plan fails in a Bo3/Bo5 series.
Reporter: Is there anything else you want to say?
I apologize to the fans for being eliminated at MSI this way.
