Entering the match with Oksavingsbank Brion, almost everyone is confident for a victory of T1. However, the reality is completely opposite and T1 defeated the battle full of bitterness just because of 3 “critical” elements in 3 games.
Okbro has a good day before t1
Apparently, the face of Okbro in this match is different from themselves in previous matches, especially the position of Clozer and Hambak. These two players played too well and made it difficult for T1 to play. Clozer himself won all three games before the Faker's senior was the culmination of how high -performance Okbro was when encountering the reigning champion of Worlds.
Okbro has a very good competition day.
T1 completely lacks cohesion
First, T1 has not shown the necessary coordination, especially at an important time or when they are led. Game 1 is a typical example when taking many advantages but T1 is discrete at the end of the game, giving Okbro the opportunity to turn the match.
This lack of intentions has appeared from the match against DK but because T1 won, it had filled everything. Worth mentioning, 4/5 members are teammates of each other for many years. Therefore, it is difficult to say the problem of lack of training time. The main reason is probably because the players have not reached the best state.
T1 plays very lack of cohesion, especially when the match is balanced or when they are being pressed.
The expression of the players T1
In all 3 games, Faker lost to Lane, including Viktor or two generals that helped T1 won the Worlds 2024, Sylas and Galio. Doran has game 1 and 3, almost ineffective while Keria – ONER is stable but the mutation is too little. Oner's Viego lost completely the opponent is also a factor that makes T1's play “bankrupt”.
As for Gumayusi, his confidence is affected as a visible thing. Choosing Lucian instead of strong generals about Late Game such as Kai'sa or Zeri is an example showing that the T1 gunner may not be confident if they have to hold the champions that are easy to lose.
Faker in particular and the T1 team are also in a bad form.
Oner or Keria himself can play well, but if there is only the bottom line, the opponent is too easy to catch cards. Perhaps, the game that T1 really plays is true to what people have remembered about them is the last 2 matches. The rest, it felt that this was just 5 Rankers and only stopped at the surprise.
The defeat has not made the hope of going to MSI of T1. But obviously, they are having too many problems and perhaps hard to solve overnight.
