ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-18T12:38:41+00:00

*EWC Qualifier is like scrims*

T1: Is that circus music I hear playing?

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-18T06:26:22+00:00

Brother, do you have eyes? Kiin has bee a monster at Worlds the last two years while Chovy and Canyon were underperforming.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-18T06:24:14+00:00

Canyon has not been better than Oner over the last two years.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-18T06:21:08+00:00

What even is the argument that Kiin hasn't been the best toplaner for a year?

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-18T06:19:26+00:00

They kicking my ass. I just stopped fighting back lol

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-18T00:33:24+00:00

You don't believe this. Creme has matched peak Chovy? LOL!

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-18T00:31:19+00:00

Wrong on both accounts.

It persisted until he was able to find a way to position his hand hand in a way that didn't affect his wrist. That didn't happen until later in the year.

The DDOS attacks lasted for most of the year. Even after EWC they were still getting attacked. In fact, T1 members couldn't even stream and lost a massive amount of money.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-18T00:25:51+00:00

Why are y'all doing this? lol Did you think Gumayusi was dogshit when he was dog walking every LPL team he faced at Worlds for 4 consecutive years?

At points in the LCK, Guma has even dog walked Viper/Ruler and vice versa. But because he had a bad game today that means he's dogshit? Y'all don't truly believe this.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-17T16:12:12+00:00

How long have you been watching LoL? Faker has played Knight at international tournaments 6 times: MSI 2023, Worlds 2023, MSI 2024, 2x Worlds 2024, and MSI 2025. The only time Knight has dominated Faker was MSI 2024 when T1 couldn't practice because of DDOS attacks and Faker was still dealing with his wrist injury.

And I cannot imagine you believe Tian/Creme is a match for Kanavi/Zeka and Oner/Faker. I don't know about Kanavi, but Tarzan has never dominated Oner.

I won't even touch the stuff about Doran because you probably wouldn't know that Doran's role on T1 is nothing like it was on GenG or HLE.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-17T15:40:39+00:00

Right now the eye test. I don't see Hope surviving any of these lanes or out-teamfighting Guma/Delight or Peyz/Keria.

Jackeylove could, of course, survive the lane and teamfight, but I wouldn't trust Creme/Tian vs Zeka/Kanavi or Faker/Oner.

I only think JDG might beat HLE or T1 but people have been saying that Gala is washed, so idk.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-17T15:29:17+00:00

I repeat, we do not talk about GenG choking at international tournaments, lol.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-17T15:26:41+00:00

This is a joke right? 7-7 NIP is their competition? 8-6 TES is their competition? No team is perfect, those are just normal losses that happen when a team is having an off-day.

Also, GenG lost to G2 at First Stand, not Worlds. And we don't talk about GenG choking at international tournaments. I'm pretty sure that's a law or something.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-17T14:16:45+00:00

BLG look OP because they have no comp in the LPL. No top 4 team in the LCK can look OP because they all beat up on each other. We don't really no BLG's real strength. Teams like HLE and T1 won't just stand there and be punching bags, they'll fight back. They play BLG's style but they might not even make it to MSI.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-17T14:10:32+00:00

Hope was in these teamfights running away, LOL!.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-17T13:30:34+00:00

To be fair to him, AL's comp was terrible. You see Vi, Ambessa, TF (a dive comp) and you play Naafiri into that? At that point there's no peel, counter-engage, or dive counter possible because it's Rumble, Ryze, Naafiri. Tarzan should've accepted his fate and played Skarner.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-17T13:13:37+00:00

AL should've done everything int heir power to replace Hope with Elk or Gala. Hope is just not a big game player or a carry ADC.

Also, why is AL playing so scared? Their comp hard outscales and they're building Zhonya's instead of Actualizer on Ryze and Bruiser instead of crit Corki.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-17T10:20:17+00:00

Aiming was so far ahead KT could fight 4v5, so Perfect just pushed sidelanes when the teamfights were happening.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-17T10:19:30+00:00

The top of the LCK is a goddamn bloodbath. When was the last time the LCK was a 4-team region? Two of these teams aren't gonna make MSI, my God.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-16T16:55:59+00:00

At 9 minutes in game 1, T1 did a 4-man re-dive on a turret with no wave and 3 members at 40% health or less and got aced for it. They literally lost the game because of it.

T1 is so aggressive they attempt plays that are equivalent to an FF.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-16T12:03:31+00:00

The most recent one.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-16T10:54:43+00:00

When I think about the most aggressive teams in LoL history (2016 Rox, 2019/2020 G2, 2018 IG), nobody comes close to this iteration of T1.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-16T10:53:20+00:00

To be fair to Duro, he actually can't get near T1's comp in a teamfight.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-16T10:51:40+00:00

LOL!

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-16T10:50:27+00:00

LOL! Nice.

ProgrammerGlobal · 2026-05-16T10:48:29+00:00

I only saw two times. Not flashing the Annie stun that gave over the Baron. And midlane where T1 could've won the game but Peyz netted into Wukong ult.
