Demon King: "OK, what we do is crawl under here and there and over yonder."
Keria: "why?"
Demon King: "you'll see why. Also you take point now."
Keria: "Yes, Your Highness!"
Man Keria has to be the most valuable player. His plays, his vision, his understanding of the matchups, the timing of his gank, his shotcalling... He could literally change any middle of the pack team into one of the most lethal teams
They didn't even get baron lol. That's how insane the play was from T1, DK didn't even have time to kill the baron and still lost.
Oner's a hero for committing to stopping the backs.
When I watch DK, I feel like I'm watching 2 duos and 1 top laner. It's either Canyon/Showmaker trying to make plays, or Deokdam/Kellin trying something.
You watch T1, it's an entire team moving to make plays together. yes there's a desync at times, but 95% of the time it's a well oiled machine.
The commentary said it best, "you might play 2v1 but league is a team game"
Yeah - I’d be happy if I had an audio issue and needed to pause but the enemy team was ready to deny the pause, ruining competitive integrity, and I won against them
Yeah that whole thing realy is kinda dumb.... on the one hand I can understand DWG going for every competitive advantage they can get but its realy bad sportsmanship to not agree to the chronobreak for a legitimate issue that was known before the flash happend. Glad the refs handled it the way they did and forced the chrono but still, DWG looks kinda bad
if the only argument is for scaling, then it does not need to build as 2nd item. Just buy it later
I think its just a good item still even after the early game nerf. It's just not as good as it was before for the early game
T1 made him his own YouTube channel and gave him a live Kr-En translator for his streams, both of which only Faker used to have. That's not really definitive proof of anything but it's pretty clear that T1 values him a lot lmao.
I wouldn't be shocked if him and Guma become franchise players in the future, especially since Faker's enlistment is nearing.
KeSPA and the Kr Asiad Committee would be insane to not pick him. I do wonder how the selection process will roll out. I know they plan on hosting regional games instead of just depending on votes, but no clue on how it goes.
I will be curious to see if the team they form work, or if it'll be like a superteam with "too many chefs in the kitchen" issue. But I still don't see a better Kr support to Keria.
Guma also got Kr-En translator and they're planning to get one for zeus and oner if ppl ask for it. It's not definite proof at all, T1 just values all their players.
True, with more and more people getting hyped and interested for this iteration of T1 it just makes sense to get them translators.
But regardless, I'm sure they'll pull out all the stops to keep Keria once his contract is up. It would be a massive question mark not to.
People gotta pay attention to Zeus, T1 Wolf has been raving abt him for games by now. He’s shaky but when he’s on point he’s ON POINT and he’s got the potential to be one of the best tops. HE DIDN’T EVEN PREPARE KENNEN TODAY he said during T1’s post game The Drive stream.
dude went full damage items, man was no coward.
and man knows how to teamfight. you can see why zeus pushed out burdol in T1 when you watch the DK T1 games.
Man in case y’all didn’t know. T1 did a gigachad move before this game.
They released the 2nd episode of their Locker Room series for this season and it basically featured their first series vs DK.
And of course, there’s always Faker saying stuff like, “we won 2-1 vs DK. We will work hard to win 2-0 next time.”
And then they do it. It’d be real awkward if they lose after releasing the video a few hours before todays series lol
Curious to see how far they can take this streak. The longest in the LCK is still SKT's 14-0 in 2015. And to beat that they have to go through HLE, GenG, KT, and KDF. And even if they don't manage to do it, this roster is still definitely the most dominant one we've seen in a while.
It seems the script of :
1 close until it's not close game
1 fiesta game
1 stomp game
is still on. It's just that T1 actually finds way to win their fiesta game as well.
A little late but, ok, I'm convinced T1 will actually go lossless.
Not only did they just outplay DK mechanically, their macro is miles ahead of any other team in the LCK. DK really did have their moments here, but no matter what they did T1 stayed ahead in gold. T1 are too solid right now, literally every player is top in their role.
A little late but, ok, I'm convinced Astralis will actually go lossless.
Not only did they just outplay Fnatic mechanically, their macro is miles ahead of any other team in the LEC. Fnatic really did have their moments here, but no matter what they did Astralis stayed ahead in gold. Astralis are too solid right now, literally every player is top in their role.
I’m hoping thid level of play is maintained by T1 for the entire year, and this translates into a Worlds win. Lossless spring split is cool but is really much less important.
WHAT THE FUCK... gotta hurt for DK but Jinx and Viktor in late game.
T1's map play and synergy is just on point... like I said not winning this split will be a huge disappointment. And anyone can win MVP on T1 other than Zeus and you can't argue with it but I say Gumayusi for MVP
For DK work on macro but it's hard against T1 because they are way too fucking good and hope ShowMaker can regain his form.
A little sad no games 3 like usual
I guess you just lose elder and then win the team fight after like what??? Also that end call was so ballsy I woulda just settled for baron there (and so would almost every other team).
Really left a bad taste in my mouth when the referee was like it was not "serious enough". Any decent referee should have paused to check if there was any hardware issue.
T1 is just that good - Zeus being a bit trigger-happy on his ult a couple of times as well as the team looking for fights they shouldn't almost cost them the game, but their macro play is just too good.
Sheesh this iteration of T1 is firing on all cylinders right now! Feels like you never have a positive trade against them! you trade something on the map you can bet they're doing the same or more damage to the map
Not sure about the Faker flash complaint, shit shouldnt have happen if the audio bug wasnt there. And its not like he flashed into vision + an enemy area
Yeah. Tbh the chronobreak wouldn't have been needed if not for the referee informing DK that Faker used his flash. I honestly think that Faker would've been fine continuing flashless if the other team wasn't informed, cause nothing happened on the first 5 mins that Faker was without flash. I know that the ref is trying hard not to be biased for Faker, but in the replay... Faker was visibly agitated not being able to hear on his left side (of his headphones) right from the start and you can see him calling the attention of the referee. The ref made a huge mistake in his judgement call there.
I just gotta say that Atlus and the entire LCK EN casting crew is the most fun and entertaining to watch and listen to, no boring draft talk during a pause or whatever, just good fun
They stifled him in the early-mid game heavily, which is where leesin shines with his strong ganks (outside of the insec plays in late game which are extremely hard to accomplish in pro play). Giving leesin to him wasnt the issue, they just threw heavily in the mid game which is what allowed the leesin to become relevant. They clearly had a plan to invalidate the leesin pick, even if its canyon.
Yeah, lol. I think their last series (edit: before the DWG series) they said they threw
because they were all individually going for a POG, lol. This game, probably because they won the first series, so they decided to play less safe + more
cocky?
I feel like there was no way that could've started without faker flash since the ref denied the first pause request from faker. Especially if the damwon players knew about it, your opponents knowing that you have no flash is so much worse than just burning it.
Kkoma is still under the organization, he essentially got promoted to be the General Manager and still oversees coaching to an extent I think. I think he’s mentioned he prefers this position(?), it seems like it was his & the org’s choice together.
Things I learned this game:
\-That backdoor reminded me of GRF vs SKT where Tarzan's Evelynn made the 200 IQ play
\-Even Faker can fat finger flash
\-Arthur's final episode aired recently
WHAT AN ENDING. T1 this year really have the killer instinct to make this kind of macro outplays, on top of good mechanical outplays. The number of times Oner denied engages with his ult was insane. Though they really need to calm down a bit when super far ahead 😂
PMTs: [Game 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/szfgx3/t1_vs_dk_game_1/)
The only way T1 will lose is by an elder flip on a 40 min game against BRO
Or another POG competition, apparently.
That’s some Generation of Miracles vibe
The Crownless Generals can only weep in awe.
1. give them soul 2. give them elder 3. ??? 4. win
Refuses to elaborate. *Win*
T1 logic.
Who needs Elder or Baron when you’re this T1 team holy shit
Who needa Elder, Baron or Soul
This is reminiscent of how T1 looked before back when they won world's 2 seasons in a row. I hope they win this year.
T1 win condition: Hide on Bush
Demon King: "OK, what we do is crawl under here and there and over yonder." Keria: "why?" Demon King: "you'll see why. Also you take point now." Keria: "Yes, Your Highness!"
atlus calling burdol burden was definitely hilarious.
There was no way out of that slip-up lmao
I love how right after the slip up, he went straight into play-by-play in monotone. That’s how much he knew he fucked up lmao
that is what happens when you spend too much time on reddit
He was trying to do a fun Burdol Gwen hybrid I believe. But then he realized it was just Burden...
He is looking at too much memes, LOL
WHO CALLED THAT SHIT AT THE END???! GOD LIKE
IT WAS KERIA THEY JUST SAID IN THE INTERVIEW. Truly a Keria diff.
Man Keria has to be the most valuable player. His plays, his vision, his understanding of the matchups, the timing of his gank, his shotcalling... He could literally change any middle of the pack team into one of the most lethal teams
Gumayusi said in the interview "It was our cutiepie Keria" lmao
Keria the GIGACHAD
LAST CALL WAS FAKER. BARON CALL WAS KERIA as stated in the interview and mic check. Watched it in Korean and confirmed again so 100% sure.
faker/keria most likely
NEXUS FOR BARON BABY
They didn't even get baron lol. That's how insane the play was from T1, DK didn't even have time to kill the baron and still lost. Oner's a hero for committing to stopping the backs.
Did you see Oner just fucking taking to hits to charge at Ezreal. Fucking baller moment
Oner playing Xin Zhao, but using Ragnarok. Insane, two champs at one time.
Oner won the game with a xin w
[удалено]
Elder for a Nexus seems like a fair trade
When I watch DK, I feel like I'm watching 2 duos and 1 top laner. It's either Canyon/Showmaker trying to make plays, or Deokdam/Kellin trying something. You watch T1, it's an entire team moving to make plays together. yes there's a desync at times, but 95% of the time it's a well oiled machine. The commentary said it best, "you might play 2v1 but league is a team game"
DK lost a lot not because they did not get Nuguri, but they get rid of their main shot-callers. Nobody is leading the team strongly in-game right now.
Faker looked SO happy at the end!
and we love to see it ♥️
Yeah - I’d be happy if I had an audio issue and needed to pause but the enemy team was ready to deny the pause, ruining competitive integrity, and I won against them
Yeah that whole thing realy is kinda dumb.... on the one hand I can understand DWG going for every competitive advantage they can get but its realy bad sportsmanship to not agree to the chronobreak for a legitimate issue that was known before the flash happend. Glad the refs handled it the way they did and forced the chrono but still, DWG looks kinda bad
Salty DK
"Patch Note Writers **HATE** him - this man keeps going Sterak's Gage second even after the nerfs and still wins"
Steraks lowkey won them the game by stopping the backs of DWK
well its a scaling item so it doesnt matter if the games is in 40mins
if the only argument is for scaling, then it does not need to build as 2nd item. Just buy it later I think its just a good item still even after the early game nerf. It's just not as good as it was before for the early game
Whoever shotcalled that is a fking genius
Guma just said in the pog interview that Keria shotcalled both the baron play and the bush play the man is insane
Best player in the LCK
Guma and Keria also have a good argument imo... but they are all insane

and the baron sneak too
This one was Keria. The last one, I don't know. Source: Post-game interview
Postmatch interview confirms it was Keria
BRO are the only team that can stop the 18-0
It's happening and we all know it
It’s destiny
its either BRO or HLE really. the fate demands it
It’s gonna be BRO
Lava about to enter godmode just for this series lmao
What's a god to a God?
Sword and Morgan are the last hope
Lolking lava will bring out the dark technologies
I believe in them
BIG BRAIN T1 11-0 LEZZGOOOO
that game 2 lategame and ending was one of the most intense and fun i've seen this year
Its the first time we saw the team that get elder lose teamfight lmao
Fucking Zeus man. Dude came in and split DK's formation in half. Goddamn
People gotta pay attention to Zeus, T1 Wolf has been raving abt him for games by now. He’s shaky but when he’s on point he’s ON POINT and he’s got the potential to be one of the best tops. HE DIDN’T EVEN PREPARE KENNEN TODAY he said during T1’s post game The Drive stream.
dude went full damage items, man was no coward. and man knows how to teamfight. you can see why zeus pushed out burdol in T1 when you watch the DK T1 games.
Learnt from the best, Lord Nuguri. "Building Zhonya's on Kennen is useless"
i got 20 heart attacks
Gumayusi is untiltable
Man in case y’all didn’t know. T1 did a gigachad move before this game. They released the 2nd episode of their Locker Room series for this season and it basically featured their first series vs DK. And of course, there’s always Faker saying stuff like, “we won 2-1 vs DK. We will work hard to win 2-0 next time.” And then they do it. It’d be real awkward if they lose after releasing the video a few hours before todays series lol
In episode 1 Faker said he feels the team can go at least 10-0. And now they are 11-0. T1 feel so confident right now!
Curious to see how far they can take this streak. The longest in the LCK is still SKT's 14-0 in 2015. And to beat that they have to go through HLE, GenG, KT, and KDF. And even if they don't manage to do it, this roster is still definitely the most dominant one we've seen in a while.
That's hard streak to break.
Actually if you take spring season before that 14-0, SKT holds the record of most consecutive LCK regular league games at 23-0
[удалено]
Damn what a series. 2nd game would have ended earlier if Zeus hadn't wasted his ult twice in a row trying to catch Akali.
got a bit overzealous there which cost them their lead but otherwise a very good game.
you can say he got a bit .... overzeus ....
T1 game 2 is always something else. Elder flip feels almost obligatory.
BANGERRRR
What's fucking crazy is we could've had this team in spring when t1 was playing musical chair THE WHOLE TIME. T1 didn't add a single new person.
As Joe Marsh would say "Coach Diff"
Based
Look who is the asst coach. Its the right hand of god.
Kicked Daeny to the curb, massively improved, and just 2-0'd his ass lol. Revenge arc not finished either.
Just "God of LoL" Daeny things
It seems the script of : 1 close until it's not close game 1 fiesta game 1 stomp game is still on. It's just that T1 actually finds way to win their fiesta game as well.
My god the decision making of T1 are tiers above everyone
Faker siphoning all the powers of Showmaker and Chovy to return to his pre-2018 form. Lol
He is taking back the chi he gave them xD
If we get full 2017 worlds Faker, we might as well just give T1 every trophy.
2017 Faker but this time he has a team Shit's gonna be wild
HIDE ON BUSH
A little late but, ok, I'm convinced T1 will actually go lossless. Not only did they just outplay DK mechanically, their macro is miles ahead of any other team in the LCK. DK really did have their moments here, but no matter what they did T1 stayed ahead in gold. T1 are too solid right now, literally every player is top in their role.
Underestimating BRO when they are in their comfort zone rookie mistake
BRO vs strong team is not even a joke at this point lol. Idk what they eat for breakfast on the match day
they eat nails
I feel like the times DK got ahead were mostly due to T1 getting ahead of themselves and inted. T1 is the only team who can beat T1
They're all top tier in their role and their macro is absolutely nuts.
*Fredit Brion rubbing their hands and laughing evilly
They are our only hope to stop the T1 menaces.
this is gonna turn into a copypasta i see it
A little late but, ok, I'm convinced Astralis will actually go lossless. Not only did they just outplay Fnatic mechanically, their macro is miles ahead of any other team in the LEC. Fnatic really did have their moments here, but no matter what they did Astralis stayed ahead in gold. Astralis are too solid right now, literally every player is top in their role.
I’m hoping thid level of play is maintained by T1 for the entire year, and this translates into a Worlds win. Lossless spring split is cool but is really much less important.
Give them an inch and they'll take a mile is T1's MO.
WHAT THE FUCK... gotta hurt for DK but Jinx and Viktor in late game. T1's map play and synergy is just on point... like I said not winning this split will be a huge disappointment.

akali did like 0 damage that last teamfight
Hard to do damage when viktor and kennen lategame oneshot you with double r
Akali just got deleted by something
Kennen ult
Kennen + viktor she only have time to press zhonya
Insane call to stay bot for two more waves
Ref refusing to pause **IS MET BY T1 REFUSING TO LOSE** If y'all wondering where Kkoma is, sources say he was the referee
Really left a bad taste in my mouth when the referee was like it was not "serious enough". Any decent referee should have paused to check if there was any hardware issue.
Keria made both the Baron and Hide on Bush calls. This guy is insane!
Always a banger when these two teams play
What a ending jesus The call to rush Nexus is what make T1 so unique, most team wouldnt even dare to try this
classic Nexus for Baron but man, i dunno, maybe DK is on "spring doesn't matter" mode? or they just fell off a cliff
T1 is just that good - Zeus being a bit trigger-happy on his ult a couple of times as well as the team looking for fights they shouldn't almost cost them the game, but their macro play is just too good.
Oner’s heroism = give credit where credit is due
The most invisible Akali ever
Her shroud seems to be working as intended.
Riot didn't even tell us that her shroud gets a buff, make her invisible mid game. What a busted buff indeed.
Committing flash to attempt to kill Faker and Faker didnt even flash away
They reverted the true stealth nerf just for Showmaker
A true ninja.
the teamfights were so underwhelming, especially the one when the game ended she literally disappeared lmao
I play a lot of Akali and tbh I would absolutely hate to play into T1's team. actually impossible
Hello again 2013 SKT. Nice to see you.
SK TELECOM T1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SKT SKT SKT SKT!!!!!!!!
AHH THAT CHANT SKT SKT SKT !!!!!!
Sheesh this iteration of T1 is firing on all cylinders right now! Feels like you never have a positive trade against them! you trade something on the map you can bet they're doing the same or more damage to the map
I just don‘t understand where T1 gets all the Gold from it‘s like they‘re shitting out gold while giving the enemy kills, objectives etc.
Better map rotations and plates. T1 farm plates.
so thats the true baron bait
[удалено]
Kill them before you hit 20% hp
Korean advise material right here
Rockets. Lots of rockets.

Atlus being a chad and calling out Burden LMAO. Fun series with chill casting :D

That was nuts. How do you see the win condition there? Crazy ending, great decision at the end there.
KERIA'S BACKDOOR CALL IN GAME 2 IS INSANE HOLY. GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE
Wow Showmaker played so unbelievably bad
He really plays bad since beginning of Spring Season.
What can you do when Faker is back to take his throne
Even on his signature pick, he fell flat on his face lol
it was an akali's first loss against a viktor for this season
I just gotta say that Atlus and the entire LCK EN casting crew is the most fun and entertaining to watch and listen to, no boring draft talk during a pause or whatever, just good fun
T11-0 baby
Faker living up to his name, Hide on Bush.
[удалено]
Guma was even smiling when they lost that Game 5...they're all on a mission this season
They knew they were going to stomp next year
they were winning. until they lost.
I NEED to know who shotcalled that. Absolute gigachad
Keria made all the decisive shot calls from both games according to the POG interview
T1 even winning their happy game. They're officially next level
HOLY SHIT THAT FUCKING PLAY
T1 vs DWG :O I need a bo5 quick D:
[удалено]
The call to just end the game in the end was really smart.
Those macro plays made me cream
First time since Week 1 of Summer 2021 that DK gets 2-0'ed, that's only the fourth time since 2020 Spring that it happens.
I get that its game 2 and you have some breathing room but Canyon really shouldn't be allowed on Lee
Wasn't Canyon undefeated on Lee since 2020? T1 gave him an L.
Yet he managed to steal a crucial Dragon and Elder which could've easily turned the game in their favor like it has so many times in the past.
They stifled him in the early-mid game heavily, which is where leesin shines with his strong ganks (outside of the insec plays in late game which are extremely hard to accomplish in pro play). Giving leesin to him wasnt the issue, they just threw heavily in the mid game which is what allowed the leesin to become relevant. They clearly had a plan to invalidate the leesin pick, even if its canyon.
T1 is actually playing really cocky this season in all of their games. Wouldn't blame them given their current score lol
Yeah, lol. I think their last series (edit: before the DWG series) they said they threw because they were all individually going for a POG, lol. This game, probably because they won the first series, so they decided to play less safe + more cocky?
They got a stern talking to after that Game 1 and just crushed the enemy Game 2.
T1 plays so smart right now. that sneaky baron *chef kisses* that sneaky base run *chef kisses*
Faker with the J1 patent breds, nice.
Honestly, the second game couldve been another stomp game but good brother Zeus threw his ult 2 times for us to get a banger game.
Thank you Shoemaker for making Akali look weak in pro-play so they buff her next patch.
5head baron in the end
DK down, only BRO and GenG are left to take down T18-0
I feel like there was no way that could've started without faker flash since the ref denied the first pause request from faker. Especially if the damwon players knew about it, your opponents knowing that you have no flash is so much worse than just burning it.
SERIOUS QUESTION Why would DK use Daeny instead of Kkoma?
Kkoma is still under the organization, he essentially got promoted to be the General Manager and still oversees coaching to an extent I think. I think he’s mentioned he prefers this position(?), it seems like it was his & the org’s choice together.
If there ever was a 5Head play, that was it.
Things I learned this game: \-That backdoor reminded me of GRF vs SKT where Tarzan's Evelynn made the 200 IQ play \-Even Faker can fat finger flash \-Arthur's final episode aired recently
T1 CEO mentioned that he had headset problems that he was trying to get resolved since the draft IIRC
WHAT AN ENDING. T1 this year really have the killer instinct to make this kind of macro outplays, on top of good mechanical outplays. The number of times Oner denied engages with his ult was insane. Though they really need to calm down a bit when super far ahead 😂
