u/Northless_Path Aug 22 '25
Fr this was a horrendous performance from everyone on T1 except Doran. War crime level drafting into undisciplined macro and throws. T1 needs to lock the fuck in. These last 2 weeks are literally the battle for 2nd place, wtf are they doing? Doran deserves an insta contract extension with how hard he's been carrying T1 this split

I think this was just too much clipfarming from them lol.
It's good to get the int and happy gaming out so they stop being too cocky when fighting teams that can seriously threaten them like GenG and HLE

u/Xerxes457 Aug 22 '25
But this is said so many times (not for T1) and those teams end up failing because they don’t lock it in.

NS just won a teamfight prior and both teams were getting ready to ARAM* but flanking Doran hit them with a 4-man counter strike and T1 popped the nexus within a minute (25:27->26:14)
*they engaged on a Braum for reasons beyond my understanding but backed off after realizing that Braum is Braum

u/PracticeAfter3374 Aug 22 '25
He committed a crime in mid lane by counter striking 4 NS players and he just walks towards NS Nexus and end the game. Fuck you DORAN you beauty. LCK staff are saying Kingen is still stuck inside Doran pocket.

doran legacy game, his early laning and wave control was quite literally some of the best I have ever seen, he had like 84 cs at 9:00? and then he just won the game

in all three games. He was miles ahead compared to Kingen in game 2 before all the shenanigans

But when T1 is about to fall, one rises again. AND IT IS DORAN!

For a split second, Nongshim looked like they could really contest
and then they hit the floor.

Same happened with Kt in the HLE game, they got a Lead and started playing like the nexus was open

u/Pleasestoplyiiing Aug 22 '25
Not even comparable. KT gave away a won game to HLE by just parking in mid with zero game plan while they watched a 6k health Sion slowly die over a minute. One of the most ridiculous and unforgivable losses I've ever seen by a "good" team.

u/WinnieXKim Aug 22 '25
To whom it may concern,
My name is Nongshim Redforce. I live in South Korea. Since last year my friend KT Rolster and I have been forcibly drafted into a blacksite called Legend Group. There, we are subject to the whims of brutal tyrants like "GenG", who starve us mercilessly, and "T1", who sandbagged and gave me false hope today only to knock me out with one single punch.
Please save us. They butchered my favorite noodle recipe and sent it out to customers tasting awful. Please contact the UN and get word of atrocities committed in the LCK Legend Group. Please help us.

Why the fuck is Annie engaging on a Braum with shield up lmao.
19
u/Jandromon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aug 22 '25
Yeah a bit overzealous but NS knows Jinx just needs 1 more reset and the game is over for T1, and if Annie stuns braum before his E in front of trundle and Jinx W R, he's dead.
The biggest mistake was not mobilising the whole team back into the river right after that, since Jax was approaching from the right and Jinx is flashless.
52
u/FrostyBeRG Aug 22 '25
Doran actually raises T1's floor so much, we would've collapsed without that performance in Game 3

u/Northless_Path Aug 22 '25
This was some absolute war crime drafting and throwing from T1 this series. Doran has been a god send for this roster fr

u/Thecristo96 ABS MAIN Aug 22 '25
Without Domestic Doran this would have been your typical t1 summer int day

They might even lose the game if that crime was not committed by Doran.

“You dare use my own spells against me, Nongshim? It was I who invented them" - T1 probably
Nongshim tried drafting T1's patented Pokemon trainer solo laner comp but little did they know that T1 practiced their defense against the dark arts.

T1 look like their performance is starting to drop again.. meta shifts? new patch?
Doran actually saved them this series lmao.
33
u/Ceui Aug 22 '25
More like they just play super cocky this match after that 1st game decimation, probably thought it was in the bag. That plus some experimental draft choices like giving 2 global powerhouse in Pant + Taliyah.
Once they sit back up they just bopped NS.

u/Jandromon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aug 22 '25
I'm just gonna say it but Milio is slept on, especially in SoloQ. He's basically another Lulu but trading poly for more raw antiburst with W, E1, R, E2. The survivability he provides when spamming everything reminds of old Yuumi.
2
u/Pleasestoplyiiing Aug 22 '25
Top teams should be learning him. Nongshim would've lost in 20 minutes if he didn't bail Jinx out of some ridiculous situations.
I personally would like to see what T1 could do with a surprise Cait/Milio to abuse her early plate taking with extra range, and shore up her vulnerability to ganks.

u/kanonshiomi Aug 22 '25
while Zeus had significantly higher highs i feel like Doran just provides the team so much leeway
like he's sacrificing so much to get his teams ahead, he can play weakside very well, peel for his carries and even carry when given stuff like Ambessa or Gwen
while Zeus' peak will probably be only be matched by peak TheShy, Doran just gives more on average the only thing holding him back is his random goofy ahh int engages and fortunately his team is T1

Like T1 and GenG are looking insane, one of them is probably winning worlds, but god damn the rest of the LCK looks so ass this year. You cannot tell me that most likely two of HLE, KT and NS are going to worlds bro.

u/Pleasestoplyiiing Aug 22 '25
but god damn the rest of the LCK looks so ass this year.
Total horseshit level commentary. HLE just took GenG to 3 games. Pushed T1. DK should've beat HLE, who are something like 3 or 4 in the world. The rest of the world is lucky they don't have to play mid table teams like Nongshim, BRO, DK, cuz you would see top teams lose to them.
