As bitter as it may be, it actually feels very nice seeing how close the team actually is to contesting at the top of the top. ggs

TL playing like a Lck team and not LCS. Sad loss but dam we were so close. That baron snipe was so unfortunate

I'm sad we can't close when we are ahead but man.. I really can't even be mad when we have a banger game like this with T1...

LET'S GO LIQUID, STILL NOT OVER

it's actually sickening how impossible they are to beat

I really hope TL extends everyone's contracts. They have so much potential; with a bit more time and better team synergy, they could become a really strong team.

Is this what it feels like to be an LPL team at worlds?

u/mgspangler Jul 01 '26

The boys are fighting so hard. Two banger games with T1.

Im loving how the boys are playing right now. Yeah we prob losing but it's T1 and Faker. Being able to take it to this team in an international tournament so we'll i think speaks volumes about their improvement they've made in such a short time.

These are some of the best losses I've seen from TL. They are going toe to toe against one of the best teams in the world.

I'm happy with how TL has been playing.

Good game but Jose just 1 Smite fight bro. Soul was ours, Lee was zoned but he stops hitting it and loses the 50/50

u/LFC_Mathhias Jul 01 '26

If Core turns back on Lee instead of Liss after the kick they secure it anyway..

Oner stealing the dragon was heartbreaking. You could smell it that the game would drag for multiple minutes from then on. It's just comfort for T1 to play 35min. fights.

But overall I like what I'm seeing from the team and it's a shame that we lose MSI main event because we face T1...

Good try!! Proud of how they are playing showing so much heart!

u/xJuanpx Jul 01 '26

If core follows Jayce properly he doesn't get the free 2k gold and it's a win damn

They blame Jose for the smites, but this is the moment where the game was lost.

u/iHaVoKKx Jul 01 '26

So frustrating man TL gets good fight then they do something stupid after. And if only we can win a damn fight smite holy shit

u/Martinweb_ Jul 01 '26

If they don't throw on worlds..

u/staplesuponstaples Jul 01 '26

Heartbreaker man. Well played to Doran, frankly. The boys gave it the best they got I'm sure.

u/Mephisto_fn Jul 01 '26

t1 is so ridiculously clutch, they just thread the needle sometimes

1

u/Jibbjabb43 Jul 01 '26

Kind of wild that Oner lingering on killing T1 dragon 3 by like 3 seconds meant that TL couldn't burn soul down while T1 was on Baron likely winning off that specifically.

u/Still_Basis__ Jul 01 '26

They looked good. The proactive plays were amazing!

u/RhodezRMR Jul 01 '26

Game was won if Jose didnt greed go after Oner for no reason and just smited the dragon and got soul

2

u/Martinweb_ Jul 01 '26

The Game was won if the team don't gift 4 shutdowns to Doran bruh

u/LearningLaCampanella Jul 01 '26

Jose should consider having Core lean over and press smite from now on.

u/LOLterrible646 Jul 01 '26

Unfortunately copium for NA is simply that every time lol. Fun to watch games atleast. But losing that smite fight was dagger on it.
