The superstar of T1 was the biggest highlight in the victory against CFO, setting a historic record at MSI.
It can be said that the match against CFO was another surprising performance from T1, as the reigning champions truly struggled against their opponents from APAC. Of course, considering the significance of their opening match at MSI 2025, T1 can view the confrontation with CFO as a warm-up, and their slight hiccups are understandable. However, in T1’s arduous victory, one player truly astonished the League of Legends community with his outstanding performance, and that is Doran.
Accordingly, Doran is the top damage dealer in a single game throughout MSI history from 2015 to now. Notably, Doran is also the most scrutinized player of T1 since joining the reigning World Championship team. However, since the match against KT, a completely different Doran has emerged, leaving the League of Legends community in awe.
On many forums, numerous praising comments have poured in for T1’s player. He was also voted MVP for the match, marking his third consecutive MVP award. Perhaps aside from Chovy, there are almost no players currently who can achieve a similar feat.
– In game 5, T1 led the opponents by 7k (7,000 – PV) gold at one point, but Doran alone had 5.2k (5,200 – PV) gold.
– Is Doran coming to T1 to support, or is the whole team supporting Doran?
– He is not here to inherit Zeus’s position and role, but to start his own dynasty at T1.
Doran Could Play a Crucial Role in the T1 – BLG Match
Since the formation of the team, BLG has identified one of their unwavering key players as Bin. Therefore, the matchup between Bin and Doran will be extremely important. The former HLE star has never beaten Bin in their previous encounters. However, this time, there are grounds to believe that Doran can “break the curse” against his counterpart on the other side.
If Doran can “shut down” Bin in the Top Lane, as he did when facing Zeus or recently against the duo Rest – Driver, T1’s path to victory will be wide open.
