An Incredible Statistic About T1 at Worlds 2025
Over the years, due to health reasons, performance issues, and various objective and subjective factors, Faker’s champion pool has gradually narrowed. Additionally, the fact that teams always auto-ban Azir against T1, along with the Fearless Draft mode, further reduces the number of champions Faker can use in a match. Not only Faker, but other T1 players also have champions considered their “specialties.” However, T1 is currently the team that has used the most champions at Worlds 2025 so far.
According to statistics from DPM.LOL, T1 has played a total of 7 matches so far and has used 30 different champions. This means that only 5 of these champions have been used twice on average per player. According to actual statistics, Gumayusi has used 7 champions after 7 matches, followed by Faker, Oner, and Keria with 6 champions. Doran has used 5 champions after 7 matches.
In these 7 matches, T1 has won 4 and lost 3. However, 2 out of their 3 losses were in BO1 matches, putting them in a tough spot as they are now. Nevertheless, with their next opponent being only 100 Thieves, T1 fans likely do not need to worry too much. Their opponent, although they created a “shockwave” by defeating BLG, subsequently suffered 2 devastating losses against TES and HLE. Therefore, it would be hard to believe that 100 Thieves will perform another miracle against T1 in a BO3 match.
But T1 Shouldn’t Underestimate Their Opponent
In this season, T1 has stumbled not necessarily due to superior opponents but because of their own overconfidence. In the domestic league, losing unexpectedly to KT caused T1 to miss the opportunity to compete for second place after the LCK group stage, leading to many consequences. And even though their next opponent is 100 Thieves, T1 can experiment but should not underestimate their rival.
A victory will help T1 continue to stay in Worlds 2025. Otherwise, everything could turn into a disaster for the team.
