Doran is the only active player with a special achievement at Worlds
In just a few days, the first match of Worlds 2025 will officially take place with a highly anticipated clash between T1 and IG. At this moment, the community is fully focused on the biggest tournament of the year in the professional League of Legends scene. From this, interesting statistics about the players have been discovered, and the player in focus is Doran – the rookie of T1 this year who has already achieved an impressive milestone in the history of the Worlds.
Accordingly, Doran becomes the only player currently competing at Worlds who has played for 5 different teams participating in the largest international tournament of the professional League of Legends scene. These teams, at the time Doran joined and participated in Worlds, were all top teams, including Griffin, DRX, Gen.G, HLE, and T1.
In fact, Doran has played for 6 different teams since his professional League of Legends debut in 2018. However, when Doran was with KT in 2018, although that team was also a top team at the time, they could not compete for a spot at Worlds. Throughout the history of professional League of Legends, only Deft has played for more teams at Worlds than Doran, with 6 teams. But Deft has now retired to fulfill mandatory service.
Doran Could Be Key for the T1 – IG Match
Coming up, Doran will face another LPL team, and his opponent is even more formidable than Bin or Zeus. TheShy is not a player who is always stable, but it is no coincidence that he has been dubbed “Top God” by League of Legends fans. In 2023, it was TheShy’s surprising revival that helped WBG reach the finals of Worlds that year.
Now, the task of stopping TheShy falls to Doran. With the form he has shown recently, T1 fans have reasons to trust Doran, but they should not be complacent, especially since IG also has a very unpredictable playstyle and players who can create unexpected breakthroughs.
