T1's wrong choice in the deciding game
Recently, T1 failed in the first match of the regional qualifiers after being defeated by Dplus KIA with a score of 2-3. This defeat forced Faker and his teammates to play one more match to hold on to their last chance to reach CKTG 2024. In fact, this is an unexpected scenario even though T1 has weakened a lot in this summer. However, this is also completely understandable when DK showed that they were completely superior to T1 in the recent confrontation. According to some analysis, T1 even “self-destructed” when they had a confusing pick and ban, which can be said to be somewhat wrong in the deciding match.
T1 made a wrong pick and ban decision in the deciding game against DK.
Specifically, in the decisive match, T1 let Oner use the champion Zyra – a champion that can be said to be very difficult to operate despite possessing the ability to “clear the jungle” very quickly. Because Zyra's skills are easy to avoid, and if the formation does not create control, the opponent will almost never fall into Zyra's trap. Not to mention, Zyra's ultimate only controls for a short period of time and is also easy to avoid. And a special thing, including the recent match with DK, Oner has only used this champion 4 times, but he lost all 3 matches.
Zyra is one of the worst Oner champions this season, having only 1 win in 3 uses before facing DK.
T1 has too many problems
Not only has the player's performance or operational ability declined dramatically, T1 shows that even in the coaching department, they are having problems. Although the players will also be given suggestions on champion selection, the coach's task is equally important as they will disseminate tactics, and give suggestions, even decide whether the players can use that champion or not. However, bringing confusing choices over time also shows that even in the tactical department, T1 is very confused.
T1's coaching staff is also showing that they are stuck in tactics.
T1 only has one more chance, and their two remaining opponents, KT Rolster or BNK FearX, are not easy to beat. But the problem will be solved by T1, and they need to do it immediately if they do not want to continue the tradition of “winning the championship and staying home next year” like they did in the 2014 season.
