T1 at MSI 2025 Leaves Their Fans Surprised
Recently, T1 faced a defeat against Gen.G in what can be described as a “classic” battle of the MSI 2025 tournament and for the entire professional League of Legends community. It’s safe to say that all 10 players showcased their finest skills and tactics to counter their opponents’ gameplay. Of course, in matches like this, a single mistake can cost you the entire game. However, T1 fans have also discovered that MSI 2025 is the best year for the OFGK lineup since its debut.
In 2022, T1 was undefeated with their ZOFGK lineup and came to MSI with high expectations. However, they faced difficulties against Saigon Buffalo, losing to RNG, G2, and even EG in the Rumble Stage. After that, T1 struggled to reach the finals, only to lose in a controversial match against RNG. In 2023, T1 continued to show inconsistencies as they attempted to experiment with new picks and bans. By 2024, it goes without saying that their roaming playstyle truly shocked T1’s players and left their fans in psychological distress.
Therefore, T1 at MSI 2025 is displaying a “slow but steady” approach. Depending on the opponent, they will have the most thorough strategies and game plans possible. Even in the match against Gen.G, T1 managed to achieve something they had not done in a long time: helping Faker win his lane against Chovy in the first 10 minutes of the game.
AL Will Not Be an Easy Opponent for T1
One clear fact is that, except for Shanks, the other four members of AL have all been defeated by the OFGK lineup at least once. ADC Hope was part of the team that T1 defeated in the World Championship the same year, while Flandre also lost to T1 when he was with EDG. Kael is a Support from the LCK, and Tarzan probably still remembers the “nightmare” he had against T1 when he played for LNG in the past.
However, the current situation is different, and AL has just taken down BLG with the exact score that T1 once achieved against the LPL representative. The League of Legends community has every right to expect an exciting losers’ finals to see which team will compete with Gen.G for the MSI championship this year.
