The combination of Faker with some extremely talented young players turned out to be a winning bet. T1 once again dominated the competition League of Legends and established himself as the big Korean threat to international tournaments. However, the fans are unhappy that the club’s situation is in jeopardy due to their coaches’ alleged bad decisions. A situation that exploded on the eve of the club’s last game against KT Rolster and which proved vindicated after one of the team’s most disputed victories.
Gumayusi’s Pentakill saves T1 bosses from a big revolution
T1 had to bank on an epic comeback against KT Rolster after making several errors in the opening minutes of the deciding round. However, the players’ bet on Baron Nashor paid off and allowed them to lay siege to their rivals’ structures. As usual, the situation turned into a gigantic teamfight and, in these decisive moments, Gumayusi came to the rescue of his team . By continuing to mislead enemies and always selecting the most important target he had access to, the player swept away all opponents being almost the team’s only source of damage.
Thanks to this breakthrough performance from Gumayusi, what could have been a civil war at T1 was averted. Despite the success of the team, the fans showed their displeasure with the group of coaches due to the mistakes made in choosing the champions and even issued a statement asking for reinforcements from the team. Requests that are largely driven by the logic that while performance might be enough to win the LCK again the team risks failing to win the next Worlds in 2022.
The reasons for the anger of the supporters
The defeat at the MSI has still not been digested by the supporters. According to a part of them (the dissatisfied and noisy part), the performances of the players would not be in question, but the T1 coaches would simply not have the necessary skills to allow the team to be world champions. Moment is the main target of criticism, the former trainer of the Jin Air Greenwings would simply not be competent enough to make the team the future champions of the world. His incompetence would force players to also have to prepare the draft phases themselves, adding an extra burden on their shoulders, and preventing them from being 100% focused on their game.
For now, Moment’s results with T1 are: 4th in the regular season in Summer 2021, 2nd in the playoffs, 1st in the Regional Qualifier, top 4 in the 2021 Worlds, victory in the Spring Split 2022 and second place in the MSI. Like what, training T1 is far from easy.
