T1 Must Make Critical Decisions in the Upcoming 2025 Regular Seasons
The third week of the competitive season has concluded, and it can be termed as a “disaster” for T1. The defending champion of the 2024 World Championship faced a daunting defeat against Nongshim RedForce. Moreover, if NS hadn’t encountered some critical errors during crucial moments, T1 might very well have faced a complete loss. Not only did they struggle with the results, but T1 also made personnel errors, causing Smash and Gumayusi to be affected negatively, which led to their defeat against BNK FearX.
Facing Dplus KIA, known for being a “monster” team, T1’s chances of making a comeback are significantly low. Following this, T1 will have to confront OKSavingsBank BRION, a team that recently defeated KT Rolster and is showing signs of resurgence. With T1’s recent loss to FOX, few remain confident about their performance.
Most importantly, T1 needs to “fight for their lives” this week to secure their future, especially before it’s too late. Currently, even the weakest teams in the LCK seem to pose a threat to T1. The time leading up to the playoffs for Round 1-2 of the 2025 Regular Seasons is quickly approaching, and subsequently, they will head straight into the Road to MSI. If T1 still harbors hopes for MSI, they must take decisive action.
Furthermore, reshaping the team’s dynamics at this critical juncture is essential to “save” their future. Regardless of any reason, it’s evident that Smash has been mentally affected. Meanwhile, Gumayusi has not had sufficient scrim opportunities with other teams to potentially influence T1’s results if a personnel change occurs. Additionally, the teams’ adjustments to their rosters could allow Doran to compete against other teams more effectively.
