23savage and Forev React to T1’s Elimination From the Singapore Major

• 23savage mentioned that he was disheartened as he did not expect such a result at the Major. However, he expects T1 to come back stronger.

• Forev, who was the stand-in for T1, felt bad for the team members and stated that they would have performed way better if they had played with their original offlaner, Kuku.

• In addition to T1, Team Nigma and AS Monaco Gambit were eliminated from the Singapore Major wild card. Team Liquid, PSG.LGD and Vici Gaming move to the group stage.

23savage and Forev shared their feelings after T1 became one of the first teams to get eliminated from the ONE Esports Singapore Major on March 28, 2021. Lee "Forev" Sang-don, who was the stand-in offlaner as Carlo "Kuku" Palad was physically unwell, mentioned that T1 would have performed a lot better as a team had they played with Kuku. He also apologized for being “unsynchronized and underperforming.” On the other hand, Nuengnara "23savage" Teeramahanon, who is the team’s most recent recruit, stated through a tweet that he did not expect such a result and was under “so much pain.” However, 23savage expects the team to bounce back.

T1, Team Nigma and AS Monaco Gambit were the first three teams to get knocked out of the Singapore Major as they were unable to secure the top three spots in the wild card.

T1 members - 23savage, Forev and Xepher react to the team’s exit from the ONE Esports Singapore Major.

Before the tweet, 23savage had also put a Facebook post where he mentioned that he was back at the airport and laughed at the fact that the team had at least won one series in the Singapore Major.

T1 had a disastrous opening day at the Major as they were clean swept in all three series that they played. They were then able to take a 2-0 win over Team Nigma but then ended their tournament run on a disappointing note as they lost 2-0 to PSG.LGD.

Forev, who had been called to stand-in for the team just a few days before the onset of the tournament, was saddened by the team’s results and felt bad for the team members. While wishing “captain” Kuku good health, he thanked the fans and the team’s sponsor, Secretlab, for their support.

In addition to 23savage and Forev, position four player for the team, Kenny "Xepher" Deo, also reacted to their elimination.
