Keria reveals the secret to his “resurrection” at Worlds 2024
One of the players with the most fluctuating performance on T1 throughout Spring and leading up to Worlds 2024 is none other than Keria. The T1 support had a notably forgettable period until his dramatic resurgence at Worlds 2024. Even in the match against Top Esports during the Swiss round, Keria performed significantly better than in previous stages. Recently, the T1 support shared insights about this situation.
Specifically, Keria acknowledged that the setups from Spring 2024 changed a lot. For instance, shifting from using a stand to a base. Or when arriving at MSI, the equipment settings changed again. Keria himself admitted that he suffers from severe OCD. And by the time of Worlds 2024, everything had been resolved, allowing him to return to his original performance level.
“From the quarter-finals to the finals, the monitor’s stand was removed, and I felt very surprised, like ‘the time has come’. But well, I think I shouldn’t say that. I just know it was an incredible feeling. And truly, since then, my performance improved significantly,” Keria said.
The community empathizes with Keria
In reality, anyone who has ever gamed understands that using a familiar setup will always feel better than using an unfamiliar one. Average players might tolerate discomfort, but professional players are affected by every sensation, which impacts their performance and results. Therefore, it’s understandable that Keria is “particular” about his equipment settings.
Moreover, the stark difference in Keria’s performance at Worlds 2024 compared to earlier has answered everything. When the T1 support feels his best, with satisfactory equipment settings, he can truly reclaim the image of a “genius beast” and contribute to T1’s championship victory.
