Faker Shares About Doran’s “Legendary Highlight”
In a recent match against KT Rolster, T1 brilliantly defeated their opponent, who has been in good form, with a score of 3-1, thus continuing to nurture hopes of qualifying for MSI 2025 as they are just one match away from Vancouver, against HLE. However, if one only looks at the score, no one would believe that the player who shone and made the legendary highlight in the match against KT was none other than Doran – a player who has been under suspicion for some time. In the post-match interview, even Faker had to admit that the situation was unexpected.
Accordingly, Faker stated: “We actually thought that situation was for KT to take Atakhan. Therefore, Doran’s decision to steal Atakhan was completely spontaneous”. In fact, according to some behind-the-scenes images from T1’s waiting room, even the coaching staff could not hide their tension, and everyone only erupted in joy when Doran successfully stole this buff.
Doran’s Brilliance is What T1 Has Been Lacking
In reality, all five players of T1 possess high skills, calmness, and readiness to create breakthroughs when necessary. However, many past missteps, especially against strong teams, have gradually stifled T1’s creativity and boldness in their plays. Throughout the last season, even Faker often played too safely, allowing opponents to exploit this weakness.
T1’s victories in the past and even now against strong opponents have come from bold decisions and superstar moments at the right time. Therefore, Doran’s brilliance with the Atakhan steal, which even his teammates were astonished by, is hoped to be the necessary catalyst for T1 to regain their inherent confidence, especially when they face HLE – a team that is very strong at this moment.
