Doran Continues to Shine in Ranked Matches Despite Facing Unique Challenges
Recently, the star player T1 has been preparing for their journey in MSI 2025, gearing up for their upcoming matches. Although the team primarily consists of a CFO from the APAC region – a smaller sector in the professional League of Legends scene – T1 is still a significant contender. Recently, during a ranked match on the North American server, player Doran, playing Lee Sin, showcased an impressive “clutch” moment right from the start of the game.

According to reports, right from the initial minutes of the game, it was evident that Doran had participated in a gank that led to a loss of health and a missed opportunity. Instead of aggressively pursuing objectives or retreating to heal, he found himself in a wide-open space with his ultimate ability, Sonic Wave. However, anyone familiar with this champion’s unique abilities at the start of the game knows that it can be quite challenging. Just a minute or two later, Doran was taken down by the very same champion… in a solo kill.
– He collects champions like collecting useless things.
– After the first champion, he managed to gather a little more excitement with Sonic Wave.
– After defeating the first champion, he took on the next one and is now gearing up for MSI. Defeating Sonic Wave is quite a challenge, and Doran along with T1 are expected to make a strong impact.

Doran Faces Unique Challenges Being the Key Player for T1
It’s clear that Doran’s role is quite hard to assess. On a good day, he makes opponents feel the weight of his abilities. However, if Doran struggles or feels pressured, he could quickly find himself on the losing end even in matches where he’s expected to dominate. This is why Doran stands out as one of the most challenging players on T1 at the current moment.
