I feel so bad for T1 fans. They only got to watch their favourite team play two Bo5s all year.
But don’t be too disheartened. They didn’t win anything this year but it’s simply not that easy to win trophies with both Doran and Peyz on your team.
Even Chovy only won LCK Spring and LCK Summer (against ZOFGK in both Grand Finals) in the one year he played with both of them. I mean, Peyz now is a lot better than 3 years ago and Keria is a lot better than Delight but I guess that simply wasn’t enough.
Look at the bright side: at least T1 managed to take one game off of a LCK/LPL team before getting knocked out. So it’s not all bad. You can just say “Worlds Semi Finals Game 2 is the only thing that matters. No one cares about anything else”. Season saved. You’re welcome.
I’m gonna fucking cry man, I was so excited, I wanted the fourpeat. . . Unfortunately, the Unkillable Demon King couldn’t work his Hell’s Miracles today.
This series is exactly what everyone has been saying for the past 3 years regarding T1 winning Worlds. T1 won because the other teams lost. T1 was never the best team in the tournament, the other teams just rolled over and died. Call it pressure, choking, whatever you want, but none of the Worlds favorites over the past years performed anywhere close to expectations, most notable GENG, but also HLE, AL/LNG (Tarzan teams). The pressure of having to perform, to finally win Worlds, got to them. T1 has pressure, but it's a different type of pressure. It's fan-generated pressure, and in that regard, it doesn't matter as much. There's a massive difference between having to apologize to your fanbase for not winning your 4th/5th/6th/7th Worlds trophy and needing to win your first in order for your career to stand among the goats. For some reason, most people fail to see that. You think T1 has pressure? Faker has pressure? What about Chovy who's been regarded as the best player in the world for the past 5 years and hadn't reached Worlds finals once? What about Knight? BDD? You think those players don't feel insane pressure from their own selves to win it all?
This pressure is why underperformances happen. These teams don't play to win, but not to lose. They play scared, afraid of failure. T1 doesn't have that. They play more freely, take more risks, because at the end of the day, they already have the trophies. The other teams are the ones that need to play "safe". And the safe playstyle is what makes those teams underperform, because they never played safe all year. They didn't deviate from their playstyle all year.
This Worlds is the first Worlds where we FINALLY see the finalist teams (the two favorites, HLE was never the favorite no matter how much people wanted to push that agenda) play TO THEIR LEVEL. They didn't hold back, didn't try to play safe, didn't feel the pressure as much. GENG played their classic style, but adding more pizzazz on top, more style, mainly coming from Canyon and Kiin. Not afraid to change it up, playing for top-jungle. Chovy doesn't need to hard carry 1v9 like he was doing for a big part of the year. Similar for BLG. They lost MSI to HLE and lost LPL to AL, but they know they are the better team and were not scared to just… play the game the way they know how to. We finally see the favorites not being scared, but actually play the game, in this world, no other team had any chance. Not T1, not HLE, DK, G2, LYON, IG, TES, none. The gap between those two teams and everyone else is MASSIVE. Yes, even over the #1 ranked HLE. GENG has been fathering them from summer onwards. BLG also fathered them in Swiss and had a winning record at MSI. Finally no more T1-fraud runs, just the two best teams competing in the best, strongest finals ever.
Oner needs a massive change in his mental or motvation cause it seems he kinda burnt out and lost his spark , clueless on teamfights and early game so sad for being the T1 secret agent last year to being their down fall
PSA: I kept getting absolutely spoiled by the "spoiler-free zone" at the very end of the video, when I try to click fullscreen on the video. TIL: you can press F to make it fullscreen, no need to click it. In spite of that skill issue on my part: can we create a little buffer at the end of the video no matter how long the game runs, to avoid situations like this?
EDIT: oh my god you can even double-click, I am not living down this extreme skill-issue moment…
Like genuinely, wtf is wrong with Doran, Faker zoned Seraphine and Viktor out of the fight, it was a 3v2 at mid turret with Viper still reviving during GA proc, Doran and Peyz could’ve easily killed Renek by just kiting a bit to then group up with Faker to finish the rest or walk away with 2~3 kills, but then Doran decided to Q forward into Renek’s W range and dies for nothing
Honestly I’m so glad T1 lost, Doran does not deserve a champion title, he’s always been the weak link but still plays with ego despite getting gapped by basically every top laners in the pro scene, I’m not even sure if Doran can win lane against Dhokla
Solidarity with Luka Perkovic. Having your own believes doesn't make you choose for anyone else. Bagging Saudi money where slaves work and woman are not seen equal seems fine for them tho. But having a religious believe, rooted in thousands of years of European culture and history, seems not. Luka got literally cancelled by intolerant, devious people with double standards. The only thing important for them is their money and status. I wish you all the best, old boy.

Man nothing beats the feeling of the T1 sheep crowd getting excited and then going silent in seconds inject that to my veins everyday
BLG deserved it!
why didn't doran pick gwen game 4? genuine question

The way they lost game 3 I knew it was over
Doran is too heavy to be carried to 2 Worlds Finals in a row
It was mostly jungle diff and of course top diff
I’m gonna fucking cry man, I was so excited, I wanted the fourpeat. . . Unfortunately, the Unkillable Demon King couldn’t work his Hell’s Miracles today.
wow. that 3rd game was very competitve

huge gap between Faker and his teammates ngl
1:52:49 I actually got chills here i though they pulled off the comeback
Let's be honest, BLG vs Gen G is the best we could've hoped for.
Oner needs a massive change in his mental or motvation cause it seems he kinda burnt out and lost his spark , clueless on teamfights and early game so sad for being the T1 secret agent last year to being their down fall
Locking in vayne and expecting to win… Building navori flickeblades in several games, peyz? What the hell is going on?
T1 been trash for years only to win worlds on meta shifts lmaooooo
Imagine facing off against someone who is playing for his dying mothers (hopefully not) last memory of her son. Ye gl Peyz
1:17 Xun and Bin just bumped into each others though
Bro they just secretly did a fusion dance for what they are about to do to t1
Sorry, what the fuck is that Seraphine hit box?
The indicator stopped, and the skill travels 20% farther.
Bro wtf was Oner doing in that last fight where he W in to Seraphine? Paypal bro

Game 3, what a throw…. Oner and Doran had a stinker, however they are STILL my goats!!
ONEEEEEEEERRRRR WHAT ARE WE DOING???!!!
Doran how many TIMES are you going to step forward in a teamfight AND GET STUNNED BY RENEKTON MELEE RANGE WTF.
Someone investigate him.
T1 Coach turbo trolling. 2 Unplayable drafts in 4 games.
Doran got like 10 auto attacks in team fights in the entire 4th game
Doran vayne is seriously ill. Well played to BLG
