A T1 player receives negative remarks from an LPL legend
The 2025 season for T1 has seen many fluctuations, especially concerning personnel, and this team has also been involved in some internal drama. However, at present, T1 has reached the most important match of the season, the 2025 World Championship finals. Nevertheless, according to Mlxg – a player once dubbed the “Jungle God” of LPL, he assessed that “it would be very hard to understand if Doran wins the World Championship.”
Accordingly, Mlxg stated: “I don’t think T1 can beat KT. I really don’t understand how Doran could win the 2025 World Championship. It’s like, ‘Doran could win the World Championship?’ People don’t get what it’s like. Truly, if T1 can win with Doran, then they are unbeatable, there’s nothing more to say.”
Doran can be both a strength and a weakness for T1
In fact, this season, Doran has had quite a few “godly” clutch plays that helped T1 secure victories, notably the Atakhan steal in the match against KT during the Road to MSI 2025 at the beginning of the season. However, Doran also frequently has moments of play that are so “reckless” it becomes hard to understand, putting the team at risk.
Nevertheless, if evaluated overall, Doran’s performance in his first year with T1 is completely acceptable, if not to say that he has shown a much steadier mentality than before.
Ahead of Doran lies the first World Championship final of his career. He will face PerfecT – a player whose playstyle is almost identical to Doran’s. And in a crucial match, genius moments can also determine the final outcome. At that point, Doran can be both a strength for T1, but one misstep could also make him the target for KT to exploit thoroughly.
