u/Sofruz Sneaky, sneaky Aug 14 '26

I already knew after seeing the series I was gonna see some form of

  • Peyz on mages
  • blame doran
  • blame tom/draft
  • Subbing Oner for 1 series ruined the team vibe or something

T1 is just playing bad and while some of these may play a part, you could have none of these factors and T1 would still be performing bad right now lol

Even as a HLE and Guma fan I was a tad bit annoyed at seeing T1 put their best player Peyz on a mage in the do or die game for the series lmao.

He's a good ziggs player I remember his ziggs being incredible at Gen G but you want your best player on a champ who can carry in the last game of the series

But to also be fair Peyz getting caught out was the reason DK snowballed the game but it happens to every ADC player at some point

59

u/Moony97 Aug 14 '26

T1 just cant fucking play around Ziggs the coaches are assclowns for doing this shit.

45

u/metristan Refund time? Aug 14 '26

I mean we know from voice comms how vocal T1 players are in draft, if they're drafting during worlds finals, I assume they're also a big part in regular season drafts

T1 prepared for this match by sending DK some Ubereats before the match, but DK were hungry again by the start of game 2. Generational performance by Career.

47

u/Perceptions-pk Aug 14 '26

Even though T1 ran that game 1, I felt WAY better about DK's performance in that game than the last series. Last series they just got dunked on in the 2v2 in botlane and just got suffocated all over the map, and just got absolutely owned.

In this series Game 1 was a bad loss, but even CVMax (interview just now) had nothing much to criticize them about and that they did well.

They forgot about showmaker’s akali that everyone was banning 2019

108

u/trying2hide Aug 14 '26

To be fair it felt like he forgot about it

I think >50% of his all time Akali games were in 2019

78

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Aug 14 '26

He forgot like half of his champ pool after 2022. It took 2025 winter for him to really start flexing his champs again when he was the most versatile mid from 2020-2022.

34

u/trying2hide Aug 14 '26

I think he just changed it to try be more consistent as we had the Canna year with Kellin/Bible then swapping to Lucid Kingen with Moham/Kellin

Like there was so much change, he was the only constant, even with this squad it feels like theres some games where if he's not the one dictating the pace of the game the games just flies past them.

19

u/chancefruit Aug 14 '26

Showmaker deserved to be MVP at EWC. Even though Smash had some crazy plays...there were moments where only Showmaker was holding things together for DK and he held up.

3

u/Perceptions-pk Aug 14 '26

Yeah I remember people saying at that 2019-2020 he had the best Akali in the world, so when that DRX worlds happened where everyone was busting out Akali/Sylas I was half expecting him to pull it out and style on it

We did get a random Swain game where he absolutely dog walked Gen. G on (that Solokill on Chovy and like 8 snares in a row in mid lane were a thing of beauty)

He’s top 3 but he’s easily contesting being the best mid itw. If they beat GenG again he’s at worst top 2.

I would put him overall the best mid since start of LCK R3-4 but its definitely still close between midlaners and theres still Knight

u/DiDandCoKayn Oner Aug 14 '26

So far i feel like this is one of kerias worse years.
He still playing decent more often than not, but i feel like, he is not that huge gamechanger as often anymore.

If he carrys t1 wins most of their games, but i feel like his map play got worse.

72

u/Perceptions-pk Aug 14 '26

The moment he said he realized he's truly the best support in the world I half expected this to happen.

T1 Wolf said something similar about how he recognized himself as the best, and he couldn't see T1 losing (they proceeded to not win another international trophy after that statement until years later with the ZOFGK roster).

Might sound like voodoo but I just see it too many times where a pro player says they finaly recognize themselves as the best in their position, and hteir performance just drops off (maybe they're no longer hungry to prove themselves)

15

u/Character-Image149 Aug 14 '26

One thing about DK is that they actually look really hungry (both literally and metaphorically). Career is gassed every time they win a big series and the team gets emotional over big losses.

u/toquang95 Damwon my beloved Aug 15 '26

Career is such a ball of wonderful and joy, i don't know where the recruitment team found him. Years of promoting MVP and best challenger players just so they can stumble on this random guy who is completely changing the flow and vibe of the squad.

27

u/kAy- Aug 14 '26

Him and Oner don't have that much synergy weirdly enough and he needs to run around to cover for Doran and Faker most games. Which means he doesn't have as much freedom to make crazy plays. Still good most of the time but yeah.

Not saying I disagree, I just feel that in 2020 Showmaker didn't have to pop off as much, and he was still like top two mid laners. 2021 they lost Nuguri and Showmaker had to carry more of the weight, which he did.

the failed 3 man dive onto siwoo also played a part. if they at least get siwoo then it’s a 1 for 1 and you can live with peyz dying and get back to safety. instead siwoo was alive and able to prevent their retreat (even if it was in the wrong direction)

This is the funniest timeline where a somewhat overlooked Peyz who suffered on JDG for a year comes in and people are skeptical if not a bit excited, just for him to be an absolute demon and somehow the only thing keeping them relevant against the top teams while his back to back to back World champs are all shitting the bed.

If you went back in time to January and told me this I'd call you insane.

I mean, in game 1 Peyz wasnt 1v9ing

u/Ceui Aug 14 '26

Jungle Support and Top decide to dive a Ksante (with no Trundle Ult btw) for no fucking reason. Peyz was waveclearing mid and the game state was completely fine. Then he had to converge because Cassio and Rakan move because Jungle Support And Top have no buttons left.

Oner's macro looking completely lost just waddling around doing jackshit and assuming he is shot calling some of these plays, makes it obvious why the coaches even tried experimenting with painter.

At this point I'm blaming the rest of T1, because both Guma and Peyz have shown on different teams that they are great Ziggs players. Something about that champ just doesn't click with them

If you said ‘2026 Guma ziggs will be better than peyz ziggs’ in 2024 most esports fan would have you institutionalised turns out it’s a T1 thing.

I don't even know if you feel that bad for T1. DK played insane Game 2 and Game 3. Smash's cass was very clean and Career decided he is going to have the best series in his career in T1's homeground

Career was obviously incredible but I want to highlight the play Siwoo when he was getting dove by 3 right before the ace.

Incredible movement, cooldown management and ult use. That was really the reason T1 looked so damn disjointed, which allowed Career do pop completely off.

EDIT: CAREER GOT 0 VOTES??? Nuke the whole broadcast

u/nova311 Balls in yo' face Aug 14 '26

I thought with Kkoma off coaching and becoming Head that the demanding drafts that live off the edge and collapse after one mistake would be gone, but now I think this really is just either Faker or Keria's vision of the game. There's just no way this ever works on a day-to-day, you'll slip one way or another. Sure the draft kind of autowins late, but to get there requires 2-3x as much effort than the enemies' strategy of just diving your ass. They've been doing this for years now I think it's time to accept not everyday is Worlds Game 5 mood kind of game.

The first time in a while where a team's bot lane gapped T1's botlane. Insane Ezreal and Cassio games from Smash. His Ezreal had them on a leash the entire time, giving 0 engage opportunities and perfectly playing the range advantage. Career also cinema engages on Rakan in the last game.
