The match that the audience felt only 3 players T1 really played
With a rival in good form from the beginning of the Regular Seasons 2025 up to now like Nongshim Redforce, it is difficult for T1 to predict. However, no one thought that T1 had to encounter such hardships before the opponent they were constantly destroying in previous seasons. Even without the excellence of Faker and Oner, as well as Keria in both winning games, T1 was able to lose 0-2 before the direct competitor for the position on the rankings.
Faker has a shine day.
Of course, according to common sense since the dramas began, most of the attention would be poured into the position of Smash and in fact, the match against NS could not say this player has played well. In particular, in game 1, there are two important situations that cause Zeri to be defeated without contributing anything in the fight, causing T1 to close the threshold of failure. But there is a player even faded than Smash, Doran.
Doran causes strong disappointment.
Even, it can be said that if in the third game that Doran uses any other generals without a pure tanker like Sion, maybe Doran will continue to be a weakness for NS to fully exploit.
On many forums, many viewers also said that “bitter” is feeling at the present time with only 3 players of T1 really playing with all the possibilities, is Faker – Oner – Keria. It can be said that the first game was due to the “hovering” of Faker and the three decisive game, the cover of Keria's peak.
Many viewers also criticized Doran with the performance before NS.
T1 cannot be continuously based on faker or keria
With a very not really strong opponent like NS, Faker can carry or mutant gameplay of Oner – Keria can become a hero. But if the opponent is HLE, Gen.G or DK, this is almost impossible. It was HLE that showed T1 clearly: how they can destroy T1 in the present.
If continuing to rely on the performance of a Playmaker or forest and support – the positions that are difficult to impact on the end of the game, T1 will be able to pay expensive, in the immediate future, the upcoming MSI period.
