Fan LPL celebrated when T1 failed
On January 16, the World Championship team – T1 had a match at LCK Cup 2025 with a rather annoying opponent named DK. Despite being more appreciated before the match took place, T1 showed a relatively disappointing face when making many mistakes in the match. As a result, they had to receive a unfortunate defeat with a score of 1-2 before DK in the opening match of the new season.
T1 had an unsatisfactory start when losing DK
For fans as well as the T1 team itself, this start is clearly not smooth at all. However, their sadness became the joy of many LPL viewers when they were extremely excited after Faker and his teammates failed. Especially, the position of Doran had to receive many sarcasms from the LPL when they thought that this guy had played too badly. Even the audience was so optimistic that he thought of the World Championship for the LPL area as soon as T1 played wrongly.
“Doran's debut in T1 shirt is really” great ” – a sarcastic gamer commented
“Doran played in Worlds worse.
“We have been blessed this year when T1 plays so badly. This year's LPL team promises to no longer miss the Worlds Cup” – A LPL fan excitedly asserted
It is still too early to underestimate T1 in the new season
In recent years, T1 is often “sowing” for the LPL audience. In the last two Worlds, they all defeated the LPL representatives to win the championship and extinguish the hope of the audience in this area. Therefore, the fact that T1 has an unpleasant start is an extremely positive sign for LPL fans when the most feared opponent of this area seems to be weak.
At the last 2 Worlds, Faker and his teammates both defeated the LPL representatives to win the title
However, the current time is still too early to assess the true power of T1 when they only have 1 match at the LCK Cup 2025. Basically, League of Legends in the 2025 season has a lot of changes in the goals on the map, so big teams need time to adapt. And in fact, the match showed that T1 has not completely caught the game in the new season, so the failure they failed against DK is quite understandable.
T1 still needs time to adapt to the major changes of the 2025 season
This season is still very long ahead and T1 still has a lot of time to improve his performance and find optimal tactics. Remember, at the summer LCK period of 2024, T1 also showed a erratic face and only came to Worlds in the same year at the No. 4 seed position. However, when going to the big stage, T1's bravery was shown to the maximum and won the prestigious championship. Therefore, the fact that LPL fans intend to underestimate T1 after only one match is probably quite wrong. Just catch the beat and better understand the new season, T1 will probably soon regain the victory, even continue to “sow sorrow” for the LPL representatives in the future.
