On April 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM CET, T1 will face off against Nongshim RedForce as part of the regular season of the LCK 2025 Season. The match will be held in a Bo3 format on the LAN stage. Below is our prediction for this matchup.

Current Team Form

T1

T1 continues to seek stability in the new season. After finishing 6th in the last split, the team is showing decent results with two wins and two losses, both of which came against the league's main favorites: Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports. T1 alternates between two carries—experienced Gumayusi and promising newcomer Smash. Against Hanwha, it was Smash who played, indicating the coaching staff's trust in the young talent. Otherwise, T1 demonstrates their recognizable style, relying on strong team chemistry and the leadership of Faker.

Nongshim RedForce

Nongshim RedForce is one of the brightest contenders for the championship this season. The team finished the last split in 4th place and has already secured 3 victories in the current start, losing only to the powerful Gen.G. Nongshim appears organized and aggressive, with excellent synergy between lanes and a flexible strategy. The team is clearly aiming for a top-3 finish by the end of the regular season.

Head-to-Head

In the past month, T1 and Nongshim RedForce have already crossed paths—in the LCK Cup 2025. T1 secured a confident victory with a 2:0 score, outplaying their opponent twice without much trouble. This result shows that T1 knows how to approach Nongshim's aggressive style and counter it effectively.

Match Prediction

The upcoming match features teams in good form. Nongshim is showing more stable results and a confident winning streak, but T1 has already proven they can handle this opponent. If the team can once again devise the right strategy, especially with the participation of the experienced Gumayusi, their chances of winning are high.
