Following the very exciting and extremely fun League of Legends Red Bull League of Its Own tournament, many Western teams got the opportunity to play against T1 for thousands of fans in Paris. Not only did we get to see some incredible plays, but also some very unlikely champions on the side of T1 for their second round of tackling some of the most entertaining teams Europe has to offer.
Having that in mind, we will go over the match between T1 and G2 Esports to see which team was able to show it their all despite all odds.

T1 vs G2 League of Its Own Match
What's interesting about the tournament is that there were random role swaps for teams, meaning players would play an entirely different role and champions to boot so this made for quite a fun watching experience for fans of both rosters.
We saw that T1 had a substitute for Keria, but during this match, Rekkles from the Los Ratones team was finally a part of the official T1 roster, given the many memes during their 2024 World Championship run with Rekkles lifting the cup with the World Champions.
The crowd absolutely went wild given the massive outplays, nail-biting fights, and overall fun atmosphere of the venue with thousands of fans cheering on this rather different League of Legends tournament.
