Recently, in the match against Fearx, the T1 players continued to bring an extremely “strange” choice, Ezreal to support in Keria. It should be said that nearly 11 years ago, Poohmandu used Ezreal once and then, he was the support of SKT T1. But unlike Keria, Poohmandu then together with his teammates created the lane changes to be able to use the “truss” generals. Meanwhile, Keria Thuan uses Ezreal support. In addition, that match, Poohmandu's SKT T1 also failed while Keria won.
Keria uses Ezreal to support in the recent match
Ignoring the objective factors such as Fearx too weak or T1's tactics too surprising, Faker and his teammates are showing a “unique” gameplay. And it is the players they own are the most important premise for T1's “unique” gameplay to reach the top level.
The skills of each individual too high
The current T1 can be said to be the skilled collective of each highest individual League of Legends. Even Faker was originally considered to be on the other side of the career slope, he still had the appearance of the spirit that was typically Worlds 2023, in the match against JD Gaming. The young T1 players do not need to be discussed. Oner and Zeus have expanded the general tank to match the overall play of the team as well as the meta required. Meanwhile, Gumayusi and Keria have always shown a peak, stable performance throughout the season since debut.
T1 stars all have extremely high skills
It is the high personal skills that help T1 to have an extremely wide general tank. It can be said that, except Faker still revolves around a number of familiar options (Azir, Orianna), each other player has used at least 4 generals in the LCK Spring 2024. Particularly the Keria – Gumayusi couple, the number of bottom lane they used was 2 numbers and could be increased in the future.
The whole collective is a cohesion
Gumayusi knew what he needed to do to Keria “hands -free” to support other lanes or use the champions that Keria loved. Oner is always ready to cover Faker whenever the opponent's forest disappears on the map. Not to mention, playing together for a long time, the current T1 stars can be said to understand each other's play little by little. There are many situations, just a glimpse of Oner below, the Guke couple will immediately push the soldiers to set up a perfect “gank” situation possible.
The cohesion in each member is the most visible thing of T1
However, this is sometimes detrimental to T1, when a certain link is misleading. The main typical is in the injury Faker period. But now, maybe the T1 players will also be aware of their importance in the team's play. And have yourself more appropriate options to be able to keep the performance and performance always at the highest level.
Faker's command
If these things can be formed through the competition, training … then Faker's command is “unique” and is the most valuable gift of the young T1 players owned when they are promoted to the main squad of the team. Under Faker's macro, T1 operates smoothly. Faker linked young players, bringing them to victory. He is also the spiritual leader and the only one who can make the great ego of the genius young stars in harmony with the team's play.
Faker is the most important premise
Not to mention, Faker's teammates also made young players feel an invisible pressure to force them to always make more efforts every day. Keria himself once revealed: “Before I became a player, I used to have a career like Faker. But when I was a player, I did not understand why Faker could maintain such a long form.” Faker's professionalism is shown in daily activities and turns him into “unique”.
And Faker is definitely “unique”
At the same time, it was Faker, with experience and bravery, always a support for teammates in difficult situations, but game 3 matches against JDG at Worlds 2023 is an example. But Faker will also have to finish his career and then, no one will tell whether the uniqueness in T1's play is maintained or not.
