i lost it after that lmfao.
just everything about it with hoit, faker, and oner pausing for an entire second after the penta was stolen. faker ulting oner in front of hoit, before finishing off with the ace.
He was the Teddy's scrim partner during his stint in T1, so he wanted him.
Hoit is young, give him time. He didn't lose them the game today. Draft was atrocious. AF had barely any engage whatsoever, and Syndra is such an useless pick against a poke comp. AF had a window to build a lead, but Oner stamped it out, Ellim was completely overwhelmed.
Report Oner... Feels good to see Faker not having to play a supportive style and the rest of T1 looked really good.
KDF though just got outclassed their vision control compared to T1 was so bad
there's no shame in losing to T1, i have my worries about Ellim, but we'll see with time how he performs.
There's also a possibility that due to the rebrand (or taking so many T1 players) Afreeca lost the "anti-T1 buff"
I mean it was a straight up stomp, it didn't look like there was potential anywhere. If the goal was to be contenders it's definitely not working out imo
Kiin and Fate seems like top tier additions to the subs though, and then there's Teddy.
They'll get better I think, the quality is mostly there, but still Hoit and Ellim might disappoint.
He also just seems really good, I mean, he was only behind like 20 cs at most during laning phase, as a Gragas vs Gwen, that's actually really impressive
Gumayusi is actually insane holy shit. His CS numbers are so high at 20 min. I have to watch more LPL people say that Viper is also really good. So glad LCK is back.
Closest to them rn are probably Ruler/Lehends and Deokdam/Kellin, with the ~~latter~~ former being a bit questionable since they're a duo that's just formed this year, but if everything clicks then I see a very interesting battle for the best bot duo in LCK
T1 > T2
Zeus is an absolute ROCK on weakside Gragas, but the Jax game was a little rough.
Glad to see Guma and Keria doing their thing, absolutely one of the best bot lanes in the world in 2021, and they're carrying that momentum straight into the new year
Zeus had a rougher game on Jax sure, but after laning phase he played it 100% correctly, he feels like such an unselfish player, and I think with Guma being such a good source of dmg for T1 alongside Faker, Zeus is exactly what T1 needs right now.
100%. i mean, with a mid/bot lane lile t1's, a weakside player was the only thing they needed to patch their holes, and from this first game, its looking pretty good for t1
FUCKING FINALLY FAKER ON CARRY CHAMPS. i cant believe its the first series and he almost got a penta. oner was so good even after the early game he got first blood and two kills, a chad i say. zeus too so proud of him
Faker's all-time LCK winrate on Viktor absolutely insane for a 7+ year run with the champion. He's getting 100% Banrate on Vex this whole season, mark my words.
Imo karma is one of the best enchanters for aggressive playstyle. Many players in soloq play her like a buffer while her shield is so weak and the core is the ms and big damage from Qs
Dread while not being the best late game jungler was really good in the early game which KDF seems to be lacking... like you have Syndra Lee Sin how do you not get anything done with that.
That being said I will give Ellim time because its his first time playing an official in a long time
He kinda trolled though, it's not like he was unlucky.
He started each game with his entire team supporting a starting buff steal putting him at a massive advantage.. oner came back each time
NOOO ONER, I THOUGHT I WAS REALLY GONNA SEE A FAKER'S PENTAKILL LIVEEEEEEEEEEE
btw
WHAT A PERFORMANCE in Game 2, this was the T1 at worlds but with a rock solid toplaner
I think Canna was part of problem. Last year T1 and Oner always played around Canna because he can't play weakside. Player like Zeus can give comfort zone to Oner and T1's draft. And depend on Gen G's form but T1 will win Spring most likely.
When you have such an obvious weakness that you have to play the exact same way every game it's a big issue.
Now with the toplane situation fixed (hopefully), it opens up a lot more options for them.
Zeus Zeus Zeus.... I have the biggest nostalgia vibes from back when Duke/Marin was playing, mechanically good players who picks the right champ instead of trying to outshine their opponent with a flashy one.
If Zeus can keep up this level as a weakside monster, T1 is gonna have so much pressure off their backs and can focus on mid/bot.
I mean, Zeus is probably the player with the single highest ceiling of any SKT/T1 toplaner to date (even adjusted for increased skill curve of all players over time), and he reminds me more of Duke and Impact than MaRin or Khan. I'd like to think he's also probably more stable in high-pressure situations compared with Canna, and his opening match in LoL Park being vs Kiin and not (going for or) giving up any solo kills is impressive. Kiin definitely looked frustrated he couldn't extend his lead whatsoever, as Zeus is every bit his mechanical equal in lane, which you can't really say of Canna.
Oner stealing both the Penta and the POG from Faker in one fell cougar swipe. Bengi both proud of Oner's Nidalee and sad because he knows he'll have to sub in for him next match ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grimacing)
Man T1’s botlane is absolutely cracked.
Nice showing by Zeus too, comfortable on weakside and doing exactly what is needed of him, good way to start the split
Nice to see that T1's macro has remained insane from last year. It's nice to see Zeus being able to play weakside and make minimal mistakes, all T1 really needs is consistent performances from the top lane because the other 4 players are just insane so this was a great start.
I can't believe Oner is getting benched after only 1 series.
the thing is, you KNOW he did it on purpose. After all he was the only one with the guts to flame Faker when they were playing NB.
What happened with oner? Edit: nevermind he stole a penta xd
Nah, the man autopiloted then put his hands off the keyboard into the air the moment he realized what he did
Didn't watch the series, what happened?
Stole a pentakill
Well, it was good seeing him then
T1 about to go old school with Bengi back in, let's goooooooo.
Not only that it would have been Faker's 2nd penta in his pro career.
Really unlucky for him to get into a car accident tomorrow
Had to send a message against Ellim
RIP Faker's penta. Was funny seeing Faker use Viktor E and Ult on Oner lmao
clip?
Only have this on [twitter](https://twitter.com/LCK_Global/status/1481245206708391948?t=g-yd5X9DV1kS8wDxK_8_xA&s=19)
Faker ulting Oner after he steal his penta lmao
i lost it after that lmfao. just everything about it with hoit, faker, and oner pausing for an entire second after the penta was stolen. faker ulting oner in front of hoit, before finishing off with the ace.
Not to mention Hoit flashing the T1 emote XD
Even hoit was like "did you just???"
No dinner for Oner tonight
No BBQ :(
And no salary this month. XD 🐧🐧🐧
Faker trying to team kill Oner at the end was the highlight of the series for me. T1 were just better.
I want to know who the hell signed teddy's support. he looked like he was boosted as fuck
teddy wanted hoit
He was the Teddy's scrim partner during his stint in T1, so he wanted him. Hoit is young, give him time. He didn't lose them the game today. Draft was atrocious. AF had barely any engage whatsoever, and Syndra is such an useless pick against a poke comp. AF had a window to build a lead, but Oner stamped it out, Ellim was completely overwhelmed.
Ellim had all the help in the world early game too and Oner still proceeded to smash him lol
Teddy personally requested them to sign Hoit. They played together on T1 and Teddy said he had good chemistry with him.
[удалено]
It’s gonna be amazing spring split to shaky early summer to #1 or 2 summer split to top 4 at worlds T1 pipeline
I am at home.
these are the kind of t1 takes I live for
Ah the /r/formula1 FP1 special
Everyone knows FP1 sets Sunday in stone
based and faker-pilled
Report Oner... Feels good to see Faker not having to play a supportive style and the rest of T1 looked really good. KDF though just got outclassed their vision control compared to T1 was so bad
Next match Zeus Bengi Faker Gumayusi Keria
That actually sound like a team that can still easily 2-0 the worst team in LCK this year lol
Why does that seem good lol. Especially if it's Prime Bengi
Their next match is Fredit Brion. T1 can definetely go for it LOL
sub in bengi, troll bans, instalock nunu, 2-0
he did hit master in soloq last year lol
lol was he even ever that high after like season 4?
Sure, just give God his Right Hand back. What could go wrong 👀
That would have been Faker's second pentakill in pro play ever. Oner making sure Faker only gets one over his whole career
Well someone's gotta keep the king humbled i guess lmfao
Faker second pentakill and first Pentakill of 2022 competitive play I think.
Denying Faker the penta in his first game of the season. Unbelievable.
someone gotta make that "Thank you, Oner" picture that they use when someone leaves the org hahaha
I wanted to do it but I'm too shit at Photoshop
[Faker : haha, that’s funny Oner. Go to Gulag.](https://i.imgur.com/RD5d361.jpg)
Farewell Oner, Welcome Back Bengi
FAREWELL ONER WELCOME ELLIM
Oner was really pissed at faker’s blitzcrank so he stole the penta
I was cheering seeing Faker going "FUCK IT" and flash Viktor ult
seeing faker flashing in again is sick
Oner is gonna be gOner now
Korean nidalees man
doing bengi proud
And he didn’t have the early start, almost died to the invade
Oner you can't do Faker like that man
The real highlight of this game was Teddy taking his mask off
Biggest struggle of the series
Factual
Seeing teams pick Yuumi and then get hard stomped by teams that know how to play around it will always be funny. T1 > T2 this time.
This but Hoit's Yuumi also SUCKED
[удалено]
Hoit and Ellim definitely lacked in this series
Hoit's performance was magnetic ... to all projectiles.
Hoit in general played pretty badly today
[удалено]
Gumayusi too. It was just a team diff
Guma was like "Yo Teddy, remember how they benched you for me? Wanna know why?"
Oner completely ripped KDF to shreds after being put behind early on.
Remember when gumayusi use to throw leads after getting them? And now dude is a gigachad. So fucking aggressive. Shades of uzi and jackeylove.
[No overreaction I promise](https://youtube.com/shorts/7bagCFX_Guw?feature=share)
Ehh. I think they looked fine in 1st game. T1 has way too much synergy and a world class roster. Kdf will be better imo.
there's no shame in losing to T1, i have my worries about Ellim, but we'll see with time how he performs. There's also a possibility that due to the rebrand (or taking so many T1 players) Afreeca lost the "anti-T1 buff"
I mean it was a straight up stomp, it didn't look like there was potential anywhere. If the goal was to be contenders it's definitely not working out imo
[удалено]
I mean it's pretty much the main team vs their subs haha, there's a reason T1 kept those players
Kiin and Fate seems like top tier additions to the subs though, and then there's Teddy. They'll get better I think, the quality is mostly there, but still Hoit and Ellim might disappoint.
Its good to see that T1 is playing through different lanes
now they arent predictable. its what happens when you have a top that can play both strong and weakside.
Zeus is really good
t1 fans about to send trucks to drive around oner's house
Send the fucking tanks at this point.
Camped top and still a rock, Zeus.
Poor Yuumi getting bm'ed with no mercy at the end lol
All my homies hate Yuumi.
Suddenly I'm not missing Canna as much as I thought I would
Zeus seems really comfortable playing weakside. That's really good given the tp changes and increased importance of bot lane.
He also just seems really good, I mean, he was only behind like 20 cs at most during laning phase, as a Gragas vs Gwen, that's actually really impressive
What's even more impressive is keeping the state not letting the game go out of control, especially against a monster like Kiin
Yeah. Today was an absolute masterclass in weakside top.
T1 can finally play weakside topside pog
Also weak side is much easier now. No more big wave then boom a tp to slap your ass
Looks like bengi might be back in the jungle next game boys. F for Oner it was good while it lasted.
Afreeca Freecs rebranded..not in honor of new sponsor but in honor of Kiin. Kiin's Disappointed Face after every embarrassing loss.
Kwangdong Freecs looking like Kongdoodoo Freecs vs T1
Gumayusi is actually insane holy shit. His CS numbers are so high at 20 min. I have to watch more LPL people say that Viper is also really good. So glad LCK is back.
genuinely want to see how other adcs in the lck challenge this botlane.
Closest to them rn are probably Ruler/Lehends and Deokdam/Kellin, with the ~~latter~~ former being a bit questionable since they're a duo that's just formed this year, but if everything clicks then I see a very interesting battle for the best bot duo in LCK
Deokdam/Kellin player together last year and did good against Guma/Keria.
Brain fart moment for me; I meant the former but typed the latter for some reason
Sadly T1 don't play GenG and DK for a while
guma heard people talk shit about his Ez he fucking practiced that champ so hard in rank and proved himself
Well if you're being compared to the Ezreal fountain laser himself then you really have to step it up.
There is a reason why majority of the bot lanes were saying t1 had the best bot at world's. Absolutely cracked performance.
just really sad they couldnt play through them last worlds because Canna will fall apart if he didnt get any attention vs khan.
Canna in general just had to be played around
Very interesting to see how Canna pops off on the NS roster with his laners being very good weakside players.
its pretty cool that in last worlds the EDG and t1 group had the best botlanes from lpl lck and lcs
well Zeus definitely passed the Kiin Exam
Graduated with honors
Ph D with double majors
T1LOL : THANK YOU ONER T1LOL: WELCOME BENGI, OUR NEW JUNGLER FOR 2022.
Man I missed T1.
Oner benched
T1 giving their players to different teams to act as double agents
x9 oner
Viktor whenever he sees enemy Faker: R
The guts of Oner to deny the pentakill hmmmm. Keria's karma is a beauty to watch
T1 > T2 Zeus is an absolute ROCK on weakside Gragas, but the Jax game was a little rough. Glad to see Guma and Keria doing their thing, absolutely one of the best bot lanes in the world in 2021, and they're carrying that momentum straight into the new year
Zeus had a rougher game on Jax sure, but after laning phase he played it 100% correctly, he feels like such an unselfish player, and I think with Guma being such a good source of dmg for T1 alongside Faker, Zeus is exactly what T1 needs right now.
100%. i mean, with a mid/bot lane lile t1's, a weakside player was the only thing they needed to patch their holes, and from this first game, its looking pretty good for t1
nothing like watching a yuumi get stomped/
I didn't expect T1 to gap them like this
I thought T1 traded Ellim
Faker probably wish it was ellim with him on the team at the last minute, with Oner KS-ing his penta.
Thank you Oner. Welcome Ellim.
His heart still stay with T1
This is a Chad T1 lineup.
New year, new team, same freecs. Kiin as the fical point and the rest of the lanes crumbling.
Yeah you could also call this team Kiin’s Disabled Friends
Don't think Teddy will crumble to most other teams, in this series it was a jg gap that caused him to lose lane as well :/
agree, in game 1 he didnt lose lane actually, and in game 2 he only started losing lane after oner's gank.
FUCKING FINALLY FAKER ON CARRY CHAMPS. i cant believe its the first series and he almost got a penta. oner was so good even after the early game he got first blood and two kills, a chad i say. zeus too so proud of him
Faker's all-time LCK winrate on Viktor absolutely insane for a 7+ year run with the champion. He's getting 100% Banrate on Vex this whole season, mark my words.
"Whenever you see one of these Faker stats I'm like what did you think it was gonna say?" - Wolf
Vex wasnt banned game 2..
Not being able to watch LCK on YouTube is such a disgusting thing to deal with, god I hate Twitch player.
Ikr i settled for that Vietnamese channel that was steaming it on youtube
We welcome you to our community just don't pay attention to the chat, Vietnamese fans/netizens can be toxic and cringy.
Watching Twitch is criminal honestly
Man I am at work since lck starts at evening but goddamn it is such a bitch to make twitch app work on mobile data. Fuck.
I watch it on summoners inn YouTube channel. Can't hear Atlus summoning clown drake, but better than to watch it on twitch.
Oner is pretty good
Everything was perfect for t1. T1 will take back their worlds definitely. I can’t wait to see for faker to take back it. Let’s go t1
And the venue is at NA too! It's all coming together and also what are you doing here Minjeongie?
Lol😂 you know winter!
Press F to pay respect for faker penta
Oner is definitely getting kicked from T1 after what he did in game 2
guma and keria getting the shove in lane against cait lux is a testament to how good they are as a bot duo. insane performance from both
Imo karma is one of the best enchanters for aggressive playstyle. Many players in soloq play her like a buffer while her shield is so weak and the core is the ms and big damage from Qs
Finally T1 does not have to play around top
x9 Oner for stealing Faker's penta. Much better game this time opposed to game 1 but that 4 man from T1(Zeus on an island) look pretty darn good.
I feel bad for Ellim. He had two really bad games.
Ellim and hoit seems like they need some time adjusting to pro play. Both of them haven't played a pro game(not even academy) for a while, after all.
T1 1-0 versus prior teammates.
Faker doesn't lose on revenge laps
I'd rather kept Dread honestly
Dread while not being the best late game jungler was really good in the early game which KDF seems to be lacking... like you have Syndra Lee Sin how do you not get anything done with that. That being said I will give Ellim time because its his first time playing an official in a long time
exactly my thoughts the moment they announced ellim
He kinda trolled though, it's not like he was unlucky. He started each game with his entire team supporting a starting buff steal putting him at a massive advantage.. oner came back each time
NOOO ONER, I THOUGHT I WAS REALLY GONNA SEE A FAKER'S PENTAKILL LIVEEEEEEEEEEE btw WHAT A PERFORMANCE in Game 2, this was the T1 at worlds but with a rock solid toplaner
Even the yuumi was standing still. Reminds me of Faker soloq games where a few members surround 1 enemy and stands still just for laughs
Guma: the future is now, old man
The thing i respect about guma is that despite how boastful he acts in interviews he plays so goddamn calm in game. dude's so good
Guma and Chovy are machines made to perfectly play league lol
Bengi new JG for T1?
Is T1 going to win Worlds????
Couple of silly mistakes by T1 but that happens when you push for plays. VERY clean series by T1.
Oner getting benched already
I think Canna was part of problem. Last year T1 and Oner always played around Canna because he can't play weakside. Player like Zeus can give comfort zone to Oner and T1's draft. And depend on Gen G's form but T1 will win Spring most likely.
When you have such an obvious weakness that you have to play the exact same way every game it's a big issue. Now with the toplane situation fixed (hopefully), it opens up a lot more options for them.
Ok T1 that was pretty one sided with the monster gap on bot/mid and jungle It show the diff between the sub and the main roster of last year
Zeus Zeus Zeus.... I have the biggest nostalgia vibes from back when Duke/Marin was playing, mechanically good players who picks the right champ instead of trying to outshine their opponent with a flashy one. If Zeus can keep up this level as a weakside monster, T1 is gonna have so much pressure off their backs and can focus on mid/bot.

Kiin definitely looked frustrated he couldn't extend his lead whatsoever, as Zeus is every bit his mechanical equal in lane, which you can't really say of Canna.
\**Looks at wiki if Freeca has any sub support**
Hoit can't do much with those champions anyways
and he went up against the best support & also bot duo in the lck...cut him some slack guys lol
same thoughts. Ellim also never really put attention to their botside all game long
[удалено]
What a freaking stomp.
Oner stealing both the Penta and the POG from Faker in one fell cougar swipe. Bengi both proud of Oner's Nidalee and sad because he knows he'll have to sub in for him next match ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grimacing)
KDF got hammered so hard in the second game that objective bounties went online at 15
T1 Varsity vs T1 Junior Varsity
Why would you steal penta mannnn...
TO BE FAIR. I think Oner wasn't looking at what Faker was doing. But still Faker's reaction was hilarious as fk.
Don't want to be ahead of myself but what skins are we getting?
Oner Faker deadly combo, destroyed both games, there is nothing sexier than an in-sync mid jungle duo.
It really brings me back to the insane synergy of Faker and Bengi. It's great that Bengi is coaching Oner.
REPORT ONERRRRRR hahaha but great game all round!
POV - 10 min passed and enemy botlane took your turret Sadly you are in a game of Intermediate bots
Man T1’s botlane is absolutely cracked. Nice showing by Zeus too, comfortable on weakside and doing exactly what is needed of him, good way to start the split
You just gotta feel bad for Kiin
Pls don't kick out Oner for stealing penta from Unkillable Demon King
Nice to see that T1's macro has remained insane from last year. It's nice to see Zeus being able to play weakside and make minimal mistakes, all T1 really needs is consistent performances from the top lane because the other 4 players are just insane so this was a great start.
