Overseas fans are buzzing about T1 eliminating IG: Theshy looks like a T1 spy! The tournament format is terrible; IG should enter the Swiss stage.

T1 eliminated IG 3-1 in the S15 Worlds play-in, securing a spot in the Swiss round. Soon after, this game stirred widespread debate among overseas viewers. Let’s check out their reactions!

- Just a play-in? It looked incredibly thrilling!

- Without a doubt, this was the most spectacular play-in match in history.

- Faker mentioned in the preview, "This will be a match worth remembering," and they really lived up to that.

- T1 picked Nocturne, Ashe, Ornn, and LeBlanc, while IG chose a squishy, immobile top laner.

- Theshy played like he was T1’s top laner; it was way too obvious.

- Honestly, he was basically a T1 spy.

- Picking Varus against Nocturne should be considered a terrifying move.

- Let IG advance to the Swiss round; I find their matches very entertaining.

- To be honest, the LCK’s fourth seed should go straight to the Swiss stage since LCK has dominated recent Worlds, while the LPL’s fourth seed should compete with other regions for a spot.

- Two of the last three Worlds champions came from the LCK’s fourth seed.

- Riot’s scheduling is becoming more and more ridiculous.

- I really hope IG gets to play in the Swiss round. Sometimes they actually look better than T1, you could say.

- It’s such a shame that one of T1 or IG had to be eliminated; both entertained the audience in their own ways.

- There’s a T1 spy in the top lane.

- You couldn’t even script this; the ending was just too perfect. When you act as a spy so obviously, people say, “No spy would be this blatant.”

- TheShy’s sharp arrows pierced the hearts of every LPL fan.

- Varus was definitely wearing his T1 uniform.

- T1’s TheShy used Gumayusi’s Varus skin.

- Oner’s first two games compared to his last two were quite a contrast. Did someone dunk him in ice water to wake him up? What a madman.

- Theshy delivered a masterclass performance as a spy.

- TheSpy: Realizing his mission was complete, he chose T1’s Varus top to reveal his identity, haha.

- We saw the most exciting Worlds BO5 on the very first day.

- Picking the Gumayusi skin was definitely a clever choice, haha. Thanks, T1 TheShy.

- Around the 24-minute mark, Gumayusi caught Wei, and the casters praised his arrow. The camera then switched to TheSpy’s T1 Varus recalling mid lane, flashing to mimic Guma’s move.

- The spy’s actions were way too obvious.

- I think this series was more entertaining than anyone expected, but it’s unfortunate the loser has to go home.

- TheSpy single-handedly saved the audience outside China; picking Varus was a questionable BP.

- Unbelievable that at the start of the year, Guma might have been benched for the entire year.

- T1’s Worlds buff is real.

- Honestly, IG performed much better than I expected, but they made too many mistakes.

- IG did have some highlights, but unfortunately, the cooldown on those highlights was five minutes.

- There was a huge BP gap; Rookie missed his Ornn ult twice.

- IG should be in the Swiss round; I don’t like this tournament format.

- Yes, honestly, seeing IG forced out while North America and Europe’s third seeds are at Worlds is embarrassing. IG would 100% clear any lower seeds from other regions; this format is terrible.
