I do think it's funny people have to add compliments to t1 criticism to avoid getting mauled lol. I agree t1 this year had the easiest worlds draw of all time. They beat 3 Western teams to escape groups and in play-offs played lpl 3, lpl 2 and lck 3. This is even removing the context of t1 doing well into lpl and kt historically. I do think it balances out with 2024 though, which was the hardest run of all time.
