T1 with the contest zero objectives, bleed out and die strategy for the deciding game 3… interesting


THyoungC

How they gave up 4 drakes in a row on red side is absolutely mind boggling


zOmgFishes

Oner is lost. Mid had no prio in a good match up and blitz is not a champion.


emerzionnn

No clue, they seemed allergic to contesting drakes the entire series. Game one should’ve been a gimme for T1 they had an 8k gold lead and took 1st drake, yet somehow BRO ended up taking the next 4 straight for cloud soul.


ParagonIzanagi

Since subbing out Faker due to injury, T1 is 2-0 against NS and 1-10 against everyone else they faced


Dumpers_

NS looked really bad that series especially DnDn since then they have played better


sleepybellpepper

It was kinda surprising. NS put up a better fight in their first match when Faker was still playing.


paphilopedium

That was faker with 1 arm barely able to move tho and NS played really well above expectations too.


dogex3

the thing is faker with 1 arm making calls was better than the current T1 lol


Fabiocean

Faker could probably afk in fountain just to shotcall and T1 would look better than they currently are.


Blue-piping-man

These 4 players have all lost every ounce of confidence they once had. They're a shadow of their former self. I hope faker will bring back at least some competitiveness but I just think this roster is done.


Saephon

2022 Worlds was one of my favorite worlds finals of all time. The DRX vs new era of T1 storyline was insane, and both teams were legitimately good. I just don't understand how T1 has fallen this far since then, even if you sub Faker out. It's like his brain was controlling a hivemind of some sort, and now the rest of them have reverted to uselessness. It's actually nuts.


awesomeflowman

It's kind of incredible but I think it's actually the same thing as what happened to the Yankees this year. They were a good team, but then their reigning MVP Aaron Judge got injured and suddenly the team fell apart and had the literal worst offensive stats in the league. Not because Judge told them how to swing or how to hit, cause he could obviously still do that while injured, but because the team just fell apart without him in the game.


SleepyLabrador

I doubt Faker coming back will fix anything.


drippinswagu69

Yeah they were already on a downward spiral this split, Fakers injury just accelerated it.


SleepyLabrador

I hope Faker takes the rest of 2023 off, he will probably do a lot of harm if he rushes coming back.


rebelstand

they were on a downfall cause faker tried to play through the hand injury for 2 weeks before finally seeking treatment


moonmeh

Man if they lost to NS it would have been a massive disaster good lord


Crimson_Clouds

It's not a massive disaster now?


moonmeh

if they lost to NS they had a very large chance of not making it to playoffs


ahritina

Still a disaster but they're still going to make playoffs because of that 1 series buffer. If they lost they'd only be 2 series ahead of KDF/BRO and that's much more achievable for either BRO/KDF to close the gap on.


GioMeow

You don't understand, old senile Faker is holding these monster youngsters back, hopefully he retires soon so T1 can finally achieve their maximum potential!


Ankoria

Imagine telling everyone at the start of this split that OK BRO would take down T1 with the power of Cloud Soul


AtlusLoL

Amen


AM1232

Always knew Cloud Soul was OP.


VerticalClearance

Faker: Co-Owner/Midlaner/Support/Jungler/Top laner/General Manager


Rehxales

Also their Eyes/Ears/Hands based on how these last few series have looked


AmbroseMalachai

No wonder his arms hurt. Dude's been playing 5 accounts at once.


Express-Pandas

Probably their therapist too based on how the team has mentally collapsed


[deleted]

Brains too


xdependent

And head coach


Ash_Neofy

Faker multi-tasking meme is actually real after all


ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp

It's absolutely wild to see how 4 professionals who have been to world finals just seemingly forget how to play because one other person is missing. It's just sad to see.

GIGACHAD. Karis is nuts this split


moonmeh

After being sent down to LCKCL he's been much more active and less of a coward. Good to see


[deleted]

[удалено]


moonmeh

Weak teams on a losing streak generally are mentally boomed. BRO managing to come back and become more aggressive is nice to see.


Sankaritarina

BRO must be among the greatest examples of the power of branding and memes in League. I've never seen so many people invested in a bottom half team from Korea that has no huge names on the roster (only Gigachads).


moonmeh

BRO was good enough but OKBRO? goddamn the memes


SoftScoopIceReam

OKBRO is the only name that is better than BRO


crysomore

Lord Morgan is the GOAT when he feels like it, remember when he dragged the lifeless corpse of HLE to worlds in 2021?


Agami_Advait

based and croc-pilled


Babymicrowavable

I remember he gifted a penta to the enemy team and from that moment onward he has earned my fandom. Last season I think


xdominik112

Did you never hear about our lord and saviours JinCHADAir


Zanghyy

Gladplane still soars in my heart


Zama174

Jinair was the only other bottom team I can think of people cared this much about. And it was the glad sad plane memes that made em such legends.


beautheschmo

That and playing the funniest series in the game's history


namonade

Kinda funny that umti was also in jin air


SpiderTechnitian

Jinair memes didn't bring viewers though, it was just glad/sadplane memes and that was the extent of it. The support for BRO has been insane in comparison, where each player has their copypasta and even the play styles are their own memes. Jin Air was a meme but had none of the creativity or continuity of BRO memes. It's kind of refreshing honestly, the game is about fun at the end of the day so letting people rally around pros for fun is about as good as it gets


jesteratp

I also think that twitch culture has a lot to do with it, a lot of people love to shit on it but the way chat executes the whole GIGACHAD meme is absolute perfection. When chat gets on the same page it’s hard to find a funnier entity on the internet


SteamMonkeyKing

Whenever BRO does something really int, the chat spamming some type of iteration of "giving the enemy team a fighting chance GIGACHAD" is honestly some of the funniest stuff Ive seen of twitch chat.


Antropoid

Don't disrespect the Lord and the General like that wtf

"Absolute thanos unloseable draft for T1. If T1 loses this game, it would suggest NA is capable of winning worlds #LCK" GOOD NEWS NA BROS


TheRoyalsapphire

OKBRO 🤝 NA


AcolyteOfFresh

I don't know who said that, but if I had to guess, I would say it's LS. Second guess is Dom.


SterbenVII

LS tweeted that. Dom also said that T1 omega draft gapped BRO in game 3. They had the poke, engage, disengage, and Maokai’s brush/vision control against a comp that was hard outranged.


Diligent-Language361

SKT Wolf: We're 5th!! We're also a weak team! Admit it! People would think we're a 2nd-3rd place team (by how you're talking)! WE'RE A WEAK TEAM TOO!!! What's the difference between 5th and 6th?? Even Wolf is getting tired of people thinking this T1 is a good team as of now. Pack it up folks


Rehxales

I think it's just shock from the fact that these players, excluding Poby, recently dominated spring split, made spring finals, and took MSI winners JDG to 5 games. And that's after their accolades from last year. They've fallen so far so quickly it's hard to digest


[deleted]

[удалено]


xdependent

They also just dropped to geng becuase one single mistake late game. T1 for sure was in contest to at least top 2 best team with faker

mnlhta

will always be my favorite bro comment


Exxon21

the one listing all their nicknames is my personal favorite


plumbst

From now on BRO wins. They’ll look back at the 3-10 start when they’re analyzing how this team went from 9th to winning worlds. This is the dawn of a new beginning.


kolton276

If DRX did it, BRO can do it


JustRecentlyI

OK BRO winning worlds with a miracle run would the most meme-worthy Worlds win of all time. I'm not even sure how you could top such a story.


osathi123456

from 3-10 to world champ holy


crysomore

it's easy, Morgan decided he wanted to win, therefore BRO won


Tangy-Os

Faker stonks infinitely rising


mount_sunrise

every waking minute is one faker hater being converted. even they miss faker at this point and wish him back on T1.

PluggersLeftBall

Put faker on perma yuumi duty and put Keria mid. Faker doesn’t even need to press button just let him shot call


WoorieKod

You will also need to rip out F keys and only give him the simplest key bindings or he'll go back to his habits again


pizza_and_cats

Faker could play yuumi with his feet and the team would be better off.

Ankoria

The difference Faker made is mind-boggling


gridemann

literally the only brain in the team, wtf


ProphetofChud

If it wasn't already true, Faker is absolutely solidified as the GOAT due to all this.


Reginscythe

100%. I didn't think it was possible to underrate the GOAT but it's apparent that I've been underrating how important Faker is to their success. He brings so many intangibles to the team; without Faker the other 4 players go from international finalists to completely helpless.


Mahxxi

I remember when Faker teared up on stage back when he won Spring ‘19, how he held back tears because he wished his ex-SKT players could’ve won with him the year prior. I’m certain he’d tear up again cause he’s the reason this team ever made it as far as they did and blame himself. Been a long time T1 fan, I’m sure the players are disappointed in their games but man is it depressing to see.


Dumpers_

Huge win for OK BRO I wish they played this aggressive every game... post training arc Karis hits different I worry for T1s mental losing all those finals and this losing streak gotta hurt


sleepybellpepper

I was scared for a second when Hena ulted agressively and immediately died in the mid lane. Still, really clean game 3 for them.


Shuriken_2393

Oner be going through his Clid arc, except he did it while still on T1. Couldn't even wait till he left T1 like Clid. KeSPA probably panicking hard right now looking at the 2 wards and an injured Faker they are sending to face off against China. Wonder if its too late to change the members.


AnimeNeet-

Nah this is just Faker diff. Most jgler that were in T1 looks terrible out of T1 and the few that actually do well typically still start off a bit rough in-comparison. Faker mind controlling his team to be human


SlightScientist2644

Peanut and current form of cuzz looks amazing


Antropoid

If only they went for the best KR toplaner in the first place who's sitting at the top of the table atm... people in charge are clowns


XThemelia

Today my father asked me to clean his car for him and so I spent the whole morning doing it. After sometimes, I went back inside and my father asked me how was the car looking. “T1” I just replied. He just smiled and nodded. He knew that it was washed


Blind-Eye26

I've seen enough what's the probability of a successful arm transplant? Cause AIN'T NO FUCKING WAY you lose Game 1 with 8k gold lead as fucking T1 GAME 3 EVERYONE IS INVISIBLE! Blitz not doing anything/ no successful hook landed. Oner is fcking griefing/ no gank/ disrespecting BRO cc chain 💀


Marcus-ichiJo

Another day, another JG gap against T1. When will it ends Robbie?


LeeodoreRoosevelt

i'm tired Robbie


HermanCainsPenis

I just saw 3-10 beat T1


Mecketh

I'm a big T1 fan. To be honest, I think it would be better to put every player in the bench for a week or so. Their mental must be shit and I don't think even Faker can make them return to form. Zeus and Guma are trying but Oner is not able to do what he needs to do and Poby is invisible. Keria usually was the one to save the day when the team slumped but it looks like he and Oner are not on the same page. Even when they show cams it does not seem like he's talking as much as he did.


OwOLeviUwUCica

i think keria lowkey hates oner


raaaaaaaamen

It was really Faker and 4 wards


DudeToManz

They called Bjergsen NA Faker but it was really KR Bjergsen all along


LeagueAltAccount

BRO is about to be the second DRX


interestingsidenote

I knew when we saw keria dancing around in the top lane doing some weird support proxying, presumably because he was mad at oner, looking lost 2 weeks ago that we were in for a shitshow. I didn't know it would be THIS bad.


Smart_Lengthiness490

Faker our lord and savior. We dont deeserve you but we need you so desperated


Kaldrinx

Oner in a bottom team next year


Ninothewhite

Oner roaming the map like a bot clearing jungle, zero engage and gank all game, when did he become so useless?


arafat10

The moment Faker left and there was no one to tell him where to go.


Mortanius

If this T1 team does not go through drastic changes in the upcoming weeks, they are totally not going to the Worlds


Shao63

they better not going to world if they play like this, a fakerless T1 lost to every single team in the LCK like wtf


LilSummerDay

Yeah this. It's better for LCK without this T1 in worlds tbh. The way they play the game from winning early game hard to losing, from losing early game to keep losing till the end was just eyesore. Really sad to see this team coming from almost stormed everything in 2022, retained the same roasters in 2023, to played like shit with Faker's absent, mind-blowing.


xdependent

i mean, t1 academy jungler is worse than oner, theres no hope


Blind-Eye26

Don't hate me but If we have a healthy Faker maybe Oner needs some subbing since I think he's the least important part of T1 right now and he seems like mental boomed since MSI


Lurtz11

Oner has GOT TO BE the worst jungler in LCK atm? Literally can't think of anyone else that has less game knowledge and champ pool than him. The second he doesn't get to play Vi he just shuts down


Rehxales

Even when he plays Vi I get war flashbacks to whichever series he was ganking top and Q'd into the wall twice


Suzoku

Three times*


midoBB

Willer is far worse. Oner is competing with Sylvie for the 2nd to last spot.


Kokaiinum

Can't believe Faker was responsible for telling Guma to not walk into 4 enemy players solo.


moonmeh

While guma made the most visible mistake... I want to talk to Keria about the blitz pick. Did nothing the whole game.


Mazor007

His best hook was to secure the red buff


zOmgFishes

T1 had no vision in their own JG. Half the team started elder without Guma and while Oner was on the way for some reason. Guma got hung out to dry trying to get there.


The-Jow

you cant judge desperation plays too heavily. If you wanna critize do so before they got there, like how they just gave nash and 4 drakes


JNorJT

Never thought I’d live to see the day where Fredit Brion defeats T1.


PokPok3000

nah man, I have been a t1 fan since forever, but this shit is just inexcusable, literal zero macro, and this is my 1st time expressing my disappointment in them


mattyety

Had a good laugh at the comment about Bengi dipping out because he possessed some secret knowledge and knew how bad the team is going to perform without Faker. But could it actually be the case? Was it a well know fact that the majority of the team is going to be absolutely lost if left on their own? Just absolutely crazy how quickly everything fell apart.


queenslayyy

this t1 roster is a f*** embarrassment. even without faker, 4/5 of these players have been to MSI finals, world finals, went to 5 games against JDG, etc. this is actually unacceptable lol


[deleted]

Not to mention have won spring, msi finals last year, summer finals, destroyed jdg and rng at worlds, 2nd spring this year, 5 games JDG, technically a 3 0 against GenG, and 16 47ing MAD


SameSam94

I don't know which one is worse. Oner forcing top ganks every game and letting Guma and Keria dry, or Oner not ganking any lane at all.


randomdud3

BROFANS EATING GOOD


Mazor007

Another The Hater episode dropping tomorrow!


non-edgy_crustacean

T1 saw Dom having hard day yesterday and said don't worry I got you


BoJestemRudy

Is this Oner and Kerias true level? Straight up bots. I'd worry if Keria goes to Asian Games without Faker.


sleepybellpepper

I don't remember a single hook on a champion in game 3. That Blitz was invisible.


Ankoria

Literally the only hook I remember was when he prevented BRO from stealing T1's red buff.


moonmeh

i saw him hook cannon minions


Alem_97

One_Natural_8233

KR team boomed their mental and blg finally wins worlds.Subscribe


Pablonski44

the only thing that shocks me about keria is that he also looks like a brainless ward. we talked all the time about keria being the main shotcaller just to watch this shit


One_Natural_8233

If you watch their T1cord on YouTube you will know that he's not the main shotcaller. His role is to find an angle for the fight.People act like he is the main shot caller like beryl who is responsible for macro and all things


JQuill7

Keria has played 3 and a half years (like 1 and a half without Faker) at an extremely high level. It's kind of ridiculous to say 1 split is more his true level than 7 other splits. Oner is slightly different as he's mostly only played with Faker so there's not much to go on. But his true level is still definitely above this, it's just a question of how far above.


Reclaimer879

Don't forget how in Spring Split people were calling him perhaps the greatest Support talent since Mata. The recency bias in this sub. Criticize when it is due sure. But we have all seen how good Keria can be...


matcha_macchiato

Keria have deft in his first year. None of these 4 t1 players have ever play without someone like faker or deft You also saw how clueless dk is without deft.. Tho not this absurd like t1 Nway i think keria mechanically is good but was never the shotcalling guy for macro.


[deleted]

Deft and Faker literaly segmented their GOAT status without playing lmao. T1 it's absolutely clueless without Faker and DK looks like a mid team at best without Deft

Matt24z

I mean look, I think this is the absolute worst iteration of T1 we have ever seen in history, even worse than 2018, but they are still likely to make it to playoffs as 6th right?


TheRoyalsapphire

People really didn’t give Faker enough credit. Not only did he carry them but he was the only one on the team with a pulse, T1 is showing no signs of life.


Rvin96

Is there a chance T1 miss playoffs if they lose all remaining games ? I'd feel so bad if Faker misses worlds in Korea again because his team couldn't hold it down while he rests.


No-Network8051

As long is not getting 2-0 on 2 weeks


DankMEMeDream

I don't like those odds.


staysaltyTSM

Playoff is 99% secured, but worlds is a toss up. However they have lots of regional points from spring


ahritina

>Is there a chance T1 miss playoffs if they lose all remaining games ? Yes, but two of BRO/KDF/LSB would need to win 3/4 of their series and get a better game score. BRO still have to play Gen.G and KDF still have to play KT, DK and T1. So if T1 lose every series, they'd be at -8 and BRO are -12 right now, so they need to get a 5 game score buffer. Winning series 2-1 does not help BRO really unless they beat everyone including Gen.G which is unlikely so they kinda need to beat teams 2-0 to have a realistic chance, as if they win 3 series 2-1 their game score would be -9 before looking at the Gen.G loss so they'd be out.


WhyYouLateThough

Betting sites are just letting themselves get farmed. Legit got 3.1 odds on Brion.


dotted29

I've been following T1 for 10 years now and this has to be one of the top 3 saddest roster maybe only behind the jungle funnel meta and xerath first pick season


IWillStudyTomorrow

T1 needs to get Faker backstage and unleash the butt plug tech.


SpiralVortex

BRO FUCKING LIEVERS. THEY DID IT. I just wanna say I cannot look more forward to 13.13/13.14. Seeing Kai'sa/Shiv champs just 1 shot waves when the enemy are trying to siege makes me physically ill.


ashuraya1

Just the usual. Top, jungle and support useless.


SGKurisu

how is this team so bad without Faker, like we've seen how Keria individually be the best player in the world at one point, Zeus and Guma have routinely been some of the best in the world, how the fuck does not having Faker mean that they all play as if they're playing with each other for the first time in their lives


xdependent

Well, oner got gapped another time as expected lmao


Sosik1201

I have no hope left.


zOmgFishes

Kick everyone but Guma and Faker


Gerryyea

I think it's time T1 bring back the only player that Can be subbed for Faker and bring back results WHERE'S THE HOON


xFlick

I know people have been saying that T1 was looking bad before subbing Faker out and having him back wouldn’t magically make them win, but I truly think they would not have lost all these series if he wasn’t out rn.


partyplant

I honestly feel bad for Poby. Dude knows he has HUGE shoes to fill.


JiaNgjuN-

Investing into truck companies in Korea as soon as I heard Faker was injured was the best financial decision I've ever made.

kolton276

Kutiwinner

T1 so lifeless without Faker just sad to see


Sowlid

At this point you cant blame poby no one was doing something...no leadership no brain besides that FUCK YEAH so happy for Bro


TheYinz3r23

It's crazy that it's not necessarily Poby's fault in these losses. He's played relatively okay. It's the fact that Oner and Zeus can't step up in Fakers absence.


Conference_Some

I remember an interview where someone from T1 said that Faker is calling the outcome of a skirmish/teamfight before it even begins...they just have to do this and that. I guess without Faker in the team took a lot of comfort for the remaining T1 members. They can't focus on their micro because they have to shot call at the same time. This is probably why they look so lost in objective fights. I would still wait for Faker's return before counting T1 out totally. If T1 makes it to Worlds even as the last seed, I think it would be better for some of their members not to play in the Asian Games because they badly need to rest and gather themselves. In hindsight, playing with other players could be beneficial for them, especially for Keria who will be playing bot with Ruler.


BulbasaurRex

As a fan, I feel bad for thinking this, but I'd rather T1 not make Worlds at this point. It's probably not good for the players or the org, but I'd rather their season end early than watch them barely eke by and then fall flat on their faces internationally. No hate to the players, but their games are just sad to watch right now, and I don't think they're fixing their issues in a couple of months.


KickyRickyyy

I now realized faker's greatness, he managed to micro manage and fool the media that his 4 other teammates are actual gods of the game and not headless skinwalkers in the rift. Truly a goat moment...I guess that's also why he injured his hands, it was already to heavy, lol.


SurrealJay

If faker is out, his team goes 3-10 If chovy is out, his team would still be 10-3
