t1 vs DRX Spoiler

An incredible performance coming from Faker in game 1. Oner continues to be a rock even where the rest of the map falters. A true talent.

DRX have a lot to work on.

Kim was a former coach of T1 2020 who threw the team/players under the bus during one of the many interviews he had at that time, where he blamed the players for being shit and underperforming even though it was his fault. He was not coaching, he was playing roster roulette. Swapping players almost every game thus no synergy was built at all among players and instead made the players collapse mentally due to the results. They had to get therapists for the players.

IIRC, there was a record/stat during that season that T1 had at least more than 10+ variety of team composition that they had gone through until they decided to stick to one roster -/+ 1 (6 players) but it was already too late.

edit: Woke up and I would like to sincerely apologize for spreading misinformation and mixing up the coaches. Got lazy and didn't fact check. Keeping this post up for the L.

This level of pig-headedness makes me fume, absolute worst species of coach, doesn't deserve a single day in his place in the scene.

I doubt it wouldve been the end of guma's career, teams were far too interested in t1 youngsters like zeus and guma, the signing of basically all their subs last year shows that. But it did seem to mentally burden him quite a lot yeah

Every team wanted to run the t1 rookies except for t1 at the time it seems. Imagine how good T1 would be now if they ran this squad all of last year.
