Fans Recognize Many Coincidences Favorable to T1 at the 2025 World Championship
Recently, an interesting fact has been discovered regarding the Golden Ball award, the iPhone product, and the League of Legends team T1. In 2022, a French player named Karim Benzema unexpectedly won the Golden Ball. That same year, a team with the Fly Emirates logo on their jerseys won the Champions League (Real Madrid). Also in 2022, Apple released the iPhone 14 Series with design changes related to Dynamic Island.

For the League of Legends community, that was also a year filled with “earthquakes” when the team DRX crowned the World Championship after defeating T1. It should be noted that they entered the World Championship as the fourth seed and were considered the lowest-ranked representative of the LCK. However, DRX overcame many strong opponents to claim the title. Among them was their victory over T1 – an opponent many believed would easily destroy DRX as they had done many times before in domestic tournaments.
Many Fans Link to 2022 Due to Multiple Coincidences.
Fast forward to 2025, a team with the Fly Emirates logo on their jerseys won the Champions League (PSG), and simultaneously, a French player recently won the Golden Ball. Fans also noticed that this year Apple continued to change the design of the iPhone. Therefore, many T1 fans are hoping that this team will continue to make history.
And one coincidence is that both T1 and DRX entered the World Championship as the fourth seed after a BO5 match in the domestic league with a score of 3-2. The only difference is that DRX won 3-2 to qualify for the World Championship while T1 lost 2-3 and had to accept the fourth seed position.

A Historic Opportunity Awaits T1
If they can continue to be crowned at this World Championship, T1 will become the first team in League of Legends history to win this tournament three times in a row. Furthermore, they would also be the only fourth seed team to win the World Championship twice in a row – an achievement that surely will be very difficult for any team to replicate, both now and in the future.
T1 Could Definitely Make New History.
However, the current strength of T1 is quite unpredictable. That is why their fans have the right to feel concerned, especially since T1 missed the opportunity to contend for the LCK title in 2025 after unfortunate defeats in the final stages of the Round 3-5 group stage and in the recent playoffs.
