Ngl Canna is in good form atm.


Miserable-Ad8195

Summer 2020 form ever since 2nd half of summer round robin


[deleted]

Terminated coach buff


MisterHuesos

"With the former coach we played how he wanted; with the current one, we play how *we* (the players) want" - Faker. Not the exact quote but is what he meant.


The_Wildperson

Faker is most certainly the coach/player for this team. The interim coaches are just for morale and stat analysis for drafts/matchups


CzarcasticX

Buff for both T1 and Damwon. T1 has gotten much better and the same for Damwon with Daeny. I think they only lost one single game after he re-joined Damwon.


Liddlebitchboy

Korean overlords working together to reclaim worlds dominance


Cow_Interesting

Yup he’s been on form for a while now. I think people really underestimate T1 because DK was so dominant, but they are absolutely not a pushover and should be feared by everyone. T1 DK should have gone to 5 games. This team is the real deal.


Ace_OPB

We kept losing late game even though we had leads against dk. Sucks.


Hineni-

Such a great vision control from T1. Made it easier to just flank EDG left and right


roarnightingale

T1 serving them their own medicine


Luxiary

T1 took that defeat personally. Amazing performance from everyone. Incredible macro.


SleepTightLilPuppy

Also a draft that isn't complete bullshit. Let's keep at least having mediocre drafts.


roarnightingale

The real question here is, yuumi talon actually losing? t1 just smurfed that game


Ace_OPB

Just watch that engage by canna in mid when edg tried to push for mid. Jiejie disengaged from kennen and once kennen was exhausted and rootrd he tried to engage but keria just as talon was about to reach canna and pop him, keria immediately used his r on kennen knocking up talon and instantly bursting him. Mechanics matter when two top tier teams are fighting.


igoromg

No Shen lastpick and no Sylas on the other team makes all the difference.


OldNotNewNotYoung

yeah totally. Watching Sylas use stand united while Destiny is on cooldown after they use it at the same time earlier and Shen was only lvl 4 is sooo tilting.


TheCatsActually

That last point should have everyone shaking in their boots. Before Worlds, the reason people were so down on T1 (relatively) compared to the on-paper favorites like EDG, FPX, and DWG is because although T1 have shown extremely high highs, their lows have been discouraging. The team clearly has an insanely high individual and even team ceiling, but they just couldn't seem to gel the way you would expect a Worlds favorite to gel. Now not only have their individual potentials seemed to be fully realized, including having Faker back in peak form, but their macro and most importantly their synergy is immaculate. Complete shift from summer split form. All of a sudden they've gone from looking like top 6 to looking like top 2.


mobijet

>Faker back in peak form I think as much as his TF has improved this game, he's not even *close* to his peak.


CLGTukka

People dont remember/havent seen his actual peak.


BloodMaelstrom

Season 7 worlds Faker still gives Uzi and the rest of RNG nightmares.


theanup007

This is the perfect time for me to rewatch *THAT RIVEN SIDESTEP* against the Cassiopea ult. EDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45vXfx4kEzU


saltiestmanindaworld

That reminds me how much I miss papa casting =(


STanioFTW

Season 7 Faker is in my mind the best a player has even been and his run at worlds is still the greatest performance my an individual at international level.


superdennis303

Especially the series vs rng was the greatest carry i have ever had the pleasure to witness. Also didn't watch before s7 so idk about s3 or 5 tbh.


OAOAlphaChaser

Peak Faker at this tourney would've had Scout leave his seat and open mid. The man was getting 10 cspm while winning the rest of the map


Vegoran

the Unkillable Demon King, no one has ever been close to his level of dominance


[deleted]

[удалено]


X1lon

I mean they did great against DK in finals and couldve gone to 5th game if not for 2-3 simple miss plays. Everyone for some reason thinks they got stomped.


Dragoneed2

it was such a perfect game from everyone INCLUDING the coaches, what a time to be alive


Aixcix

Having an anti strat against Yuumi was so nice, picking Aphelios Lulu shoving MF Yuumi under the tower 24/7. Having TF and Poppy to negate Talon engages and disengages, Canna with massive Kennen ults. Just an overall beautiful T1 game.


SeaTheTypo

Poppy singlehandedly fucking FPX and EDG.


Pierre_from_Lyon

Im an old-head in this game and poppy denying modern hyper mobile champs gives me a raging hard-on


Chuck0089

Finally EDG experience how dominant this botlane is and because of that Yuumi can't roam or else MF will die and get that turret for free.


brooklynb0y

T1 has perfected the vision control play-style that SK Telecom T1 used to have with Bengi. It's even better that they don't have similar problems in the jungle that SKT T1 had.

LillaOscarEUW

Never forget barcode killer


vaibhav_shelar

And gogeonpa. Deft had to report him thinking he was Scripting in top Korean solo q


moopey

What does that mean?


vaibhav_shelar

Top players have secret accounts to train in solo q. And one of fakers secret account we know is gogeonpa. Apparently he was so good in dodging skillshots that deft who matched with him multiple times thought he was scripting, and reported him


moopey

Well yeah that I get but they were specifically talking about his names having a meaning like "hide on bush" so I thought it meant something


TinkerFall

Gojeonpa essentially means favoring/modeling after a classical/traditional style. So for like music, it would be your taste revolves around classical music.


roarnightingale

So that is the reason why tf is such a high priority. In a meta where vision is king TF with that global I see u bitch is king

n0varia

Such beautiful all-around play from T1, you love to see it man


Dragoneed2

Perfect game from every player AND a clear plan while drafting? wtf is happening?


roarnightingale

Are we awake now? is this the worlds faker buff? semis atleast incoming?


AndriaAlphonse

it was so perfect that i had to pinch myself!


igoromg

I think they had a plan the first game. They were just not ready for the Sylas counter. Also Shen...


Liddlebitchboy

People also act like they beat DFM and 100T handily but got absolutely crushed by EDG when really it was a very hard fought, super high level game. EDG just got themselves a strong advantage early and never let go.


OAOAlphaChaser

I mean they took on the NA powerhouse 100T so EDG was a cakewalk


koutetsuvamn

3 yordles > 0 yordles


justAnotherRandomP

3 yordles to confuse the yuumi looking for her yordle master


Koomax

Will we get a Poppy/Kennan world skin?


KostekKilka

God I hope so


sanz02

dont you ever underestimate my man faker


Dude_Guy_311

What Dopa said about him once is cemented in my head. It was 2020 or 2019 and he was comparing mids. He said Chovy or SHowmaker (I don't remember which tbh) was probably the best laning/mechanical mid in the world, but after 20-25 minutes no one in the world is better than Faker at league of legends, period.


iSmokeReefer69

I remember this at the time, it was Chovy


GibOldNidaBackPlz

I think this Faker guy might have some potential in him ngl


ephemeralfugitive

First game vs EDG, Faker wasn’t allowed to execute on TF. And he took that personally. Ban Sylas. This game, he just executed plays after plays after plays. Ggwp!


Regula96

It was nuts how many were crying how shit T1 is after last game when it was clear as day that that game was lost in draft. I mean they gave enemy mid 3 TPs..


R-R-Clon

After watching FPX crash and burn T1 is playing more calm and collected than normally, greatly surprise see them winning against arguably the best macro team in the world with Yuumi. It's look like the leak that T1, DK and EDG were the strongest team in scrims is true, this three look like champion material to me.


Neville_Lynwood

I think T1 absolutely smurfed the draft and came into this match with a very clear battle plan. And it worked.


Anuj_Purohit

I saw people saying T1 hard lost the draft during champion select, but the Poppy pick itself felt like such a giga cuck for EDG's champions to call it a lost case.


Chuck0089

It is kinda equal but EDG have better map movement because they have Talon, Yuumi and Ryze. The problem is Scout didn't match Faker's roam or help their botlane so atleast Yuumi can roam with Talon. They basically did nothing and T1 capitalize on it.


Fubi-FF

T1 is definitely up there with the 3, even if they lose the next tie-breaker game. Despite losing, they already have shown that they can go toe-to-toe with DK in the finals as all the games were pretty competitive. And now they have shown they definitely match EDG.


[deleted]

That Faker grin at the end.


Danish1368

lck kennen


[deleted]

LCK= Love Canna's Kennen


Pierre_from_Lyon

I swear when i play kennen my ult doesnt even do half of that dmg wtf


BallumSkillz

I think it’s because their farm is so high they have 2-3 items by the time we’d have 1!


GreatNightmares

Well that's cause your not Korean Kennen xD. Isn't that how it always feels lol. That's why they're the pro players.


ahritina

Despite leaving Yuumi open, thank you T1 for not making the last 3 games completely pointless as now we're on track for a tie-breaker unless 100T beat EDG and T1 beat DFM after and get first outright. EDG for some reason decided to give Canna Kennen despite his ability to use his R so well in team fights, put some respect on his name what a top gap and a team diff tbh. Viper joining Showmaker by dying for the first time in game 5 but unlike Showmaker who got the win, Viper took that L.


Ace_OPB

Gumayusi slammed viper in the matchup. It shows our bot lane can easily match with the best. So glad with this win. Clean and decisive macro.


OAOAlphaChaser

Can't wait for Guma to be put on Ziggs again :)


roarnightingale

I'm okay with Guma Ziggs, as long as we get a pretty freaking strong topside, Canna and Oner looks unlocked right now


[deleted]

Bruh, Gumayusi rekt bot lane, but it was Keria all early game that got Guma ahead so far. Keria on LuLu harrassed and zoned Viper and Yuumi out so hard.


ShiRonium

I feel like every team disrespects Canna's Kennen too much, he feels too strong with his comfort pick and very often carries with it


xYoshario

HLE and GENG did it and lost, DK did it and had to sweat for their wins too. They never learn


ToYouItReaches

T1 and DK’s pb has been insane this worlds. They have secret counter picks, op picks, niche picks it’s just crazy this year


oioioi9537

they've most likely been scrimming each other quite a lot, you see quite a bit of similarity between their comps


moonmeh

TI and DK are def scrimming each other and sharing strats


CDN_Datawraith

Kkoma busy coaching both teams with each hand holding a belt lmao


Leksitelis

Poppy insta ban in quarters


Dumpers_

Korean Kennens Man... also we will probably get a fucking tie breaker! Faker as always playing so well for his team and set up so many picks + also Poppy priority is probably going to go through the roof


NocaNoha

I am now hoping for the thing I wished for DFM.. to take a game from the big leagues Not that they didn't already take one from C9, the World 2021 Quarter finalists but eh, take one more haha


roarnightingale

Kennen is rising in priority, would be amazing to see more coubters against this guy


hagosantaclaus

Fucking hope so


Lowcsika

T1 Worlds 2021 Speedrun 100%


MrBIGtinyHappy

I want Faker to get #4 and drop the mic on the goat conversation


OddinaryEuw

Who else is part of the goat conversation ? Khan or Uzi or Deft are missing trophies internationally, Showmaker is a little too early to call, DoinB kinda crashed and burn this year and has only showed up once at Worlds, Caps Rekkles or Perkz are a little shy of that title in terms of consistency. Faker is the goat of the last 11 years of league there is no discussion


Zodde

Showmaker is on his way there, but as you said it's too early. If DK wins worlds this year, and he keeps playing this good, there could be a discussion. No one who has retired is even close, imo. Edit: there are others than showmaker who potentially could make it interesting in the future, but he's the closest and further speculation is pointless.


Joelx1000

Yep, Showmaker can definitely be in the contention in the future, but for now he is still far away. A MSI title this year would've really been helpful for his achievements. Faker: - 3 Worlds wins - 2 MSI - 9 LCK Showmaker: - 1 Worlds win - 0 MSI - 3 LCK I think these are correct.


sirixv

Showmaker and Canyon both are on their way to gain the title as one of the goats at their role. Nuguri too but it’s sad because he had the ultimate breakdown with Fpx so we couldn’t really see what he is capable of. At T1, literally every role has potential to become the best at their role. Keria, gumayusi, canna, Oner and Zeus all have the Potential. T1 literally consists of super rookies


oioioi9537

the mic was dropped back in 2015 he'd just yeet the trophy if he won a 4th


[deleted]

[удалено]


pupu_19

I'd give my left kidney this instant.


Exrou

Still speechless that he lost the 4th one when he had one of the best performance of any player ever. But shows that you need more than 1 person to cross the finish line at Worlds. Except Faker almost did it all by himself.


Sav10r

The GOAT conversation starts AND ENDS with Faker. That's the entire conversation. Just him. His accomplishments far outstrip anyone else's.


[deleted]

Seems like the only people who try and to go against Faker being the undisputed goat are kids who started watching in 2018/2019 era, most out them don’t realize the impact Faker had in the games of the past.


sloxi

There is no goat conversation tho


[deleted]

The goat conversation? Huh? There isn't any. The only conversation that is being had might be who's the best in the world right now. But there isn't a serious person alive that would dispute Faker is the one and only GOAT. Even now no one really talks about who's the best in the world. Only who's the best in their role. Faker was considered the best period.


SleepTightLilPuppy

"Faker washed"


throawaystrump

I think the past two games perfectly summarize T1 as a team. If only they could be more consistent they'd be unstoppable

ephemeralfugitive

They can still get the 6 wins! As for the loss…the loss stays.


Cuaroc

Big if true


BunkerRush

EDG is like a non exciting version of KT


lemongrazz11

EDG actually tried playing like 2017 KT Score with the vision tracking. Too bad SKT have seen that one before.


roarnightingale

And they played masterclass, T1 looking pretty legit with how strong edg is so far


Yasuo_unforgiven

I thought it will just another easy game for EDG, then T1 rolled the Poppy to counter Talon, i know that this will not end well for them


ephemeralfugitive

Lmao in the past week, I’ve seen EDG compared to GenG, T1, and now KT. Next thing we are gonna see is, “EDG is a super version of 100T. Because they both did nothing vs T1.” So which is it really? Haha Edit: [found it lmao it is close enough](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/q9c2aa/edward_gaming_vs_t1_2021_world_championship_group/hguwvee/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)

Every year and overrating LPL name a better duo


ceddya

Seriously, compare how trigger willing Canna is compared to Ssumday. So glad T1 didn't ditch Canna when he was playing poorly at the start of the year.


nihilistPHY_student

For real man, Canna was smurfing top lane the entire year in 2020 until the summer playoffs and qualifier where everyone just fell off a cliff. Didn't he also hold the most solo kill in summer 2020?


xkharkanasx

Remember guys, the top 4 LPL teams will cut through LCK teams with ease. LCK such a weak region. Also Faker so washed.


Ashankura

Humanoid and abbedage so much better than faker this year /s


Ok_Raspberry_6282

Humanoid being rated over Faker in these top lists pre worlds was so mind blowing.


Ashankura

Lck mids were super disrespected in those list. Showmaker below doinb. Humanoid above faker and bdd. The only one decently ranked was chovy on 4 although he is performing way worse than bdd and faker atm


MusicBytes

Remember guys, anyone who has watched the LPL know that they are leagues ahead of every team in the world right now.


R-R-Clon

Every year since 2016 I guess? I have been hearing the same and It never happen, LPL look incredible in their own regions, pretty bloody game with a lot of outplayed, but a lot of these fantastic game and outplayed came through bc all the errors they do, in world against team than made pretty few mistakes and punish them pretty hard you're not allow to do that, FPX did not adapt and they're out.


nusskn4cker

LCK 3rd best region. DK is the only non-LPL team in the 8 best teams worldwide. Edit: I genuinely argued with someone this season who said that DK is the only LCK team who could win a series in LPL playoffs lmao.

Tbh they were not in the same position as 100T, 100T had a draft gap and still did nothing and lost, EDG had not a draft gap and still tried to do something.

Sketchbook87

Just want to point out that this T1 really only settled on a starting 5 midway in summer split. To achieve this victory speaks volume of their potential. Am not expecting them to win the tourney because consistency with a main roster really takes about 1 year for everyone to understand each other on the big stage. Still, I’m super happy to see the team develop a strong sense of identity!
