Becoming the first team in the history of LCK to play at home is a significant challenge for Faker and his teammates. Moreover, their opponent this time was KT Rolster – “The rival” in the “Telecommunications War” illustrated Korean League of Legends. Even in a period of falling, KT still knows how to make T1 difficult and not an opponent easily defeated. And the home pressure and the really good performance of the members made T1 the first team in the history of LCK to defeat right on their “Home Ground”. At the same time, KT also ended the series of defeats against T1 from the LCK LCK playoffs in 2023 until now.
T1 has failed at home
The failure of T1 of course must be caused by two factors: good KT players and T1 players lose themselves. With League of Legends, a loss is the responsibility of the whole collective. However, according to some viewers, the player has the most disappointing performance in the last match, none other than Keria – support T1. On the Hupu site of the Chinese audience, Keria was only marked 3.9 points – the lowest of the 5 members T1.
Keria is the lowest grading T1
In fact, Keria in the match against KT, if compared to Beryl, he lost completely. Even when holding a general can be proactive as Rakan (in game 2) or Alistar (in game 3), Keria also has many extremely embarrassing moments. And yet, in terms of initiative in island, Keria is also inferior to Beryl. In the first 10 minutes, Beryl had at least 3 times to let Deft play and turn on the midpower to threaten Faker as well as prevent the forest ring of Oner. It was Beryl's more initiative that helped KT control all four dragon charms 3 and made Faker extremely difficult in the first stage.
Keria uses open generals but not as proactive as Beryl
However, it must be justice that Deft – Beryl has played too well in the last match. The pressing of this couple made Keria in reality not dare to abandon the position. Therefore, he was inherently lost from the stage of the road, the distance was stretched when entering an important fight.
The audience also admitted that Keria played very poorly in this match
– If Keria and Oner continue to play like this match, I feel next season they will have to leave
– Oner is not so bad, Keria lost
– It was just one of the bad games of Oner, but he was still a good player. But Keria is too bad.
The failure of T1 is still the responsibility of the common. But perhaps every player needs to review his play thoroughly. The LCK group stage of 2024 is still long and the opportunity for T1 to correct mistakes is still clear. But on the condition that they are not allowed to make mistakes again.
