Faker Discusses Doran’s “Highlight Play” in the Recent Match
In the recent match against KT Rolster, T1 showcased an outstanding performance, boasting a score of 3-1 and continuing to nurture hopes of qualifying for MSI 2025, needing just one more match against HLE. However, if we only focus on the score, it’s hard to believe that the shining star and highlight play during the match against KT was Doran, a player who has often been under scrutiny lately. In the post-match analysis, even Faker had to acknowledge a situation that no one could have predicted.

Doran’s Brilliant Performance is What T1 Needs
In reality, all five players of T1 possess high skills, a stable mindset, and the ability to create game-changing moments when necessary. However, there have been many instances of stumbling in the past, especially against strong teams, leading to a philosophy of creativity and aggression in T1’s gameplay. Throughout the recent season, Faker has often played with a very cautious approach, which is a significant aspect of this strategy.

However, T1’s victories in the past and present against strong opponents have all depended on their decisive aggressive plays and moments of brilliance at crucial times. This is why Doran’s standout performance, particularly with his Atakhan play, has left the opposing team stunned and is a catalyst needed for T1 to reclaim their powerful image, especially when facing HLE, a currently very strong team.
