Introducing a New “Character” Amidst T1’s Drama
Starting from the drama involving T1 – Zeus, the team has undergone significant changes. With the addition of T1 – Gumayusi – Smash, the League of Legends community has witnessed fresh dynamics, yet what has caught the most attention are the “characters” unwittingly involved in the situation. Among them, Faker stands out, as he is only being mentioned in passing due to fan expectations for the team’s performance. Meanwhile, Doran has been surprisingly quiet since teaming up with Smash on stream, and the latest development is a significant character bearing the brunt of the drama.
Specifically, in a recent promotional poster, KLEVV utilized an image of T1’s League of Legends team, which is currently competing for the championship title at the World Championship, alongside T1’s VALORANT team, which is also vying for the Bangkok Masters title. However, the issue arose when KLEVV mistakenly included Smash alongside the five remaining team members. Immediately after, KLEVV had to delete the post to mitigate the backlash from T1 fans.
For those who may not know, KLEVV is a premium gaming brand aimed at gamers and users with high-performance needs, stemming from Essencore, a leading supplier in the DRAM and NAND Flash sectors, with a market share of 100% from SK Hynix – a major player in the semiconductor industry.
Only T1’s BLG Can Resolve This Situation
In reality, only when T1’s BLG announces the roster for the Regular Season 2025 will it become clear who will officially occupy the AD position for T1, and this may lead to new transformations. Recently, the focus of T1 and LCK fans has shifted towards the drama surrounding the team, although T1 fans are still closely monitoring developments related to their “favorite lineup.”
Despite this, T1’s BLG must also consider the broader impact. Ultimately, the decisions made by the management will not only affect the team’s performance this season or the mood of the fans but also the future of both ADCs, one of whom is currently regarded as the best ADC in the world while the other still has potential ahead.
