Spring LCK 2024 can be said to be one of the seasons to witness the most ups and downs. Because, this team is from the position of “the king of League of Legends” after the Championship of Worlds 2023, “fell down” right away against Gen.G. Granted Gen.G is very strong but no one thinks T1 is burning atmosphere that can fail. Not to mention, after a series of sublimation with 12 consecutive wins, Gen.G itself was the name T1 pulled down to the ground. Then the remaining stage of the group stage until before the match against the other Dplus in the playoffs witnessed a T1 extremely struggling, struggling in his own play.

Recently, some Chinese netizens have summarized the gameplay of T1 in just a few lines. Accordingly, the post has the content: “If Keria carries the team, the opponent is extremely poor. If Zeus carries the team, the opponent is quite good but not significant. If Faker and Oner carry the team, we prepare to compete for the championship, the opponent is very strong. If Gumayusi carries the team, it is all rescue “.
“If Keria carries the team, the opponent is extremely poor. If Zeus carries the team, the opponent is quite but not significant. If Faker and Oner carry the team, we prepare to compete for the championship, the opponent is very strong.
Despite the humorous comment, but this is very accurate, for T1 or any team in the current meta. And in fact, when Keria owns a high POG score, as well as the matches that his Gunner plays support for the best, the opponents cannot be with T1. Meanwhile, just having a little “hard” names (DK, HLE or KT), Keria is also difficult to create mutations as usual. This also applies to Zeus when his Aatrox was locked on the post -wrapped game in the match in the second leg of the LCK group stage in the last 2024 Spring LCK.
“This is exactly. If Oner plays like Worlds 2023, no matter how Zeus and Gumayusi are concerned about, no one can defeat T1. Faker and Oner will” carry the team “. And T1 does not often play around their gunner.
Meanwhile, just Faker – Oner, and especially oner, played as in Worlds 2023, the remaining routes are extremely easy to play. Faker has shown how good he has “burden the team”, like the Quadra Kill “sorrow” in the final against Gen.G. And also in that final, when Gumayusi was the last hope, although there was still good damage, the T1 gunner was really impulsive.

In some recent versions, the gunner has been “Nerf” very strongly, which makes these positions require as much equipment as possible and players who have enough skills, experience and bravery to choose the best position, discharge the most damage in the fight without being chosen as a target too much. In the first match of the playoffs against HLE, Delight's mission was very simple: putting everything that could go to Gumayusi before fighting and forced T1 to always be in 4 hit 5, without much damage.
Gumayusi also understands sometimes he has to accept the overall play of the team
Gumayusi himself also admitted: “The ad position is like this, we use ramen noodles as a metaphor, the ad will be like an egg. The upper and middle sugar and the forest are like water, noodles, spices but the gunner sometimes is not okay. Water, no spice, or not ripe noodles, have eggs to do? There is no benefit at all.
Gumayusi once likened the gunner as “eggs in ramen noodles”: Yes, the dish is better, but not okay
Indeed, for T1 alone, when the gunner must speak up and “burden the team”, that is, the first and mid -match in other positions is not really good (should have to move the gameplay and put resources to the gunner). In case the game has not been slipped out of control, everything is fine. But if the opponent was too strong, Gumayusi basically could hardly create a mutant if the opponent was a close team like Gen.G or HLE.
When the gunner was born in 2002, it was time to carry the team, sometimes it was the situation that was no longer able to support T1
More than anyone else, Gumayusi is the one who understands the “disadvantages” that they have to accept. But perhaps, with the gunner born in 2002, just T1 won and the title, personal factors whether or not it is not too important.
