Keria Shares About the Bold Pick in the Decisive Game Against Gen.G
In the recent victory against Gen.G, T1 made a particularly bold choice by returning to the “One Marksman” playstyle, allowing Gumayusi to use Aphelios while Keria took Thresh. The champion Aphelios has lost a lot of power since the removal of the Gale Force, while Thresh is considered one of the most difficult champions to play due to his long casting time and inability to build in a specific direction. However, this bot lane duo helped T1 secure the victory, and Guma – Keria had a stellar performance.
However, according to Keria, this was a choice “prepared but not practiced.” Specifically, the T1 Support said: “Actually, since MSI, we have considered this champion duo but haven’t practiced enough, so we couldn’t ensure it would work well. But today, we felt a strong urge to pick it, just based on the thought in our heads that ‘it should be fine’, even though we hadn’t practiced it at all. We could win or we could lose, but thankfully, everything went well.”
Fans Await the Return of T1’s 2022 Version
Over the past several seasons, boldness has been something T1 once possessed but has sometimes been lost due to both objective reasons (the importance of matches) and subjective reasons (the fluctuating performance of players). However, this is still a top strength of T1’s lineup. The players have very good skills, but they have not returned to their familiar bursts of creativity.
With this boldness to “dare” to experiment even in an important match against Gen.G, which yielded favorable results, many fans hope that T1 from the unbeaten 2022 phase can return. After all, with the new formats, this season might not be easy even though T1 has “shut down” Gen.G. And then there’s the World Championship, where T1 cannot afford to be complacent, even though they are the reigning champions.
