T1’s Quite “Unbelievable” Stats at Worlds 2025
Normally, for a team that has crowned itself champion at any tournament, especially at high-quality tournaments like Worlds, the stats of that team are usually very impressive. T1 is no exception this year, as their players, despite some doubts, entered the tournament with an outstanding performance. However, T1 also holds the highest position in one stat: the team with 4 out of 5 players who were solo killed the most in their respective positions.
Specifically, Doran (9 times), Oner (4 times), Gumayusi (5 times), and Keria (8 times) are the players who were solo killed the most in their respective positions at Worlds 2025. Given that T1 has played almost all the matches (except for the 2-0 win against 100T, the 2-0 win against MKOI, and the 3-0 win against TES) and is the team with the most playtime and matches in Worlds 2025, it is normal for T1 to receive the most solo kills. However, this also shows that T1 players always enter matches with a mindset ready for a showdown with opponents and are exploited by their adversaries.
Perhaps among all those instances, only the situation where Gumayusi was solo killed by Doggo right at the Mid Lane tower against CFO was when T1’s ADC played safely but the opponent was ready to create a breakthrough. This was also the crucial moment that led to T1’s downfall in the match against “big brother LCP.”
At the same time, T1 is not hesitant to make unconventional picks and bans, even those that are outside the expectations or predictions of many people. Therefore, sometimes they put themselves in difficult positions, giving opponents opportunities or when T1 wants to create breakthroughs but ends up being unexpectedly “countered.”
T1’s Championship Journey Might Be Beyond Even Their Fans’ Imagination
With T1’s journey so far at this year’s Worlds, the League of Legends community may never witness a second team achieve this. But that is why T1’s championship is even more historically significant and makes their fans prouder.
