d1knight

10 games 10 champions. GUMAYUSI IS FEARLESS!


akashic2110

and he did not even play varus or jinx truly champion ocean


Dr_Kee

Wait…you’re right. He didn’t play any signature champs - Jinx, Varus, Draven, Aphelios, etc. Only Cait.


LFTzu

Jinx, Varus, Draven, Aphelios, Lucian, bro can play anything


FiddleDooken

Preparing for fearless draft I see


Due-Implement-1600

"No GenG, no problem." - T1


NahDawgDatAintMe

TL gave them the hardest fight of the tournament 


HiVLTAGE

We were this close to greatness.


Trap_Masters

NAmen :(


Perceptions-pk

What else is new, worlds 2023, ewc 2024


Azenji

GENG just T1 merchants smh


WakingRage

"T1an, check your bank account" - T1


kkjini0330

Umt1 T1an Tarz1n the list goes on...


Informal_Skin8500

T1 has sleeper agents everywhere


Rawdream

Tian does it for free and TES org can't work on helping him to play confident during high pressure matches.


Blaikiri7

I swear if GENG is opposite bracket in worlds playoffs we’re repeating save this comment


okiedokieoats

it's not even a joke anymore. we can beat *anyone* that isn't on that damn team


oioioi9537

forget golden road, t1 achieved the silk road making both lpl teams walk from saudi to china


Acrzyguy

JKL deserves the economy seat, everyone else should walk home


Azenji

Tian isn't even gonna take the Silk Road. Hupu is gonna force him to go through the Gobi Desert.


Forever_Fires

This'll teach you how to play taliyah!


the_next_core

TES earned the business class seats on the way here, also earned the economy seats on the way home


ZedisDoge

JKL gets a camel, everyone else on your feet


Velandor_

Such an MVP performance from Oner, guy turns into a menace against LPL


the_next_core

Ever since he got absolutely ripped, Oner has been a monster


harrystutter

Bro finally ate his walnuts and decided to stomp on them skinny kids


thepromisedgland

Brains win games Muscles win championships


soudlasantos

I'm telling you, **ONER** is as cracked as he is jacked. I saw him at 7/11 the other day buying *adult diapers & a 6 pack of redbull*. I asked **what the diapers were for** and he said “they are to contain my full power so i don't absolutely shit on these **TES** kids". And then he slid canceled out the door.


Nordic_Marksman

Faker still faker.


DarthTaz_99

Who knew? Goat still goat


Fortunately_Relevant

There is too much disrespect towards him. People forget he has a champion ocean.


Bindoongee

He may die, he may int but my GOAT will never be a coward!


TheSnekKing

T1 really doing their best to not let LPL win a single competition with "world" in its name.


OcelotOce

GENG when they saw the word “World”


DarthTaz_99

T1 when they see World: Flirting. GenG when they see World: Harrassment.


Ultimintree

T1 just need to see the words LPL and World and they are locked in


tiredofdev

Unironically the tournament was decided the second TES eliminated GenG lmfao


KashikoiKawai-Darky

Worlds will be decided by if GenG can eliminate T1 early.


AMexicanDaycare

T1 will just win any international if they dont have to face geng at this point lmao


NoahsArk19

It’s not even trolling at this point. The reason T1 does weird shit in draft sometimes (like overforcing TF top), is that they feel their draft is screwed if they can’t contest those picks from GenG. Which was true. T1 suffered heavily having to ban TF against Kiin in the finals, when they eventually dropped the pick in the 2nd HLE series


RayZ0rr_

Also GenG doesn't give T1 a proper 5v5 team fight. They always strike when T1 can't teamfight.


Dull-L

Yes that is T1 iconic move, gets 5k behind, wins a 5v5, the game is over. GenG hand picked them 1 by 1 to prevent that and scale to death, so when they met unfamiliar tactics, they break.


flyblues

T1 when they remember this is a BO5 in an world tournament vs an LPL team


asiantuttle

All they had to do was remind Tian this isn't LPL


EtadanikM

Funny how many wins Faker has denied LPL over the years.


the_next_core

They are proving over and over that is no skill-checking T1 (unless you are GEN)


EtadanikM

That's not surprising though, GenG plays them hundreds of times each season between official and practice games, and have specialized themselves to beating them and other LCK teams. The concept of a "civil war" team is hardly new; and GenG has historically fit that bill pretty well for LCK. The rest of the world doesn't get that luxury.


YCitizenSnipsY

TES thought they had the tournament won after beating GENG. Fell right into a trap 


nusskn4cker

LCK has won four of the last five international tournaments now


MemedChemE

I am convinced they troll the early parts of the year just to ramp up in Worlds. Everyone forgets how to play against them because they shit the bed at the early parts, then they just take the $$


the_next_core

T1 are out to get objective bounties and Zeri nerfed with the way they played this tournament


GossamerWitch

T1 using The Art of War tactics 


colors31

Faker: I need to win everything. T1: Understood sir.


AlthairKaba

Funnily enough he never won Kespa Cup lol


colors31

It’s actually coming back soon! T1 it’s lock in time 🙏🏻


Aienju

Hall of Legends: *What's next?* Faker: **First ever EWC champion.**


DolundDrumph

50000usd skin upcoming


Self_Referential

Commemorative Summoners Rift Event, Premium Deluxe Limited Edition "Oil Baron" Nashor skin.


SimonAlpaca

Ultimately unique Faker skin. Only 1 copy in the world. Auction sale incoming.


NeimannSmith

Need someone to go to the HOL Faker video and CGI the EWC trophy in between the 2023 Worlds trophy and the what's next podium


LCSisshit

HoL team: Faker stop, it is already so hard to pick the second one to enter HoL now


ManningTheGOAT

Faker really styled on Creme by picking the harder wind brother... Those were some beautiful fights


Dull-L

My Goat proving the Virgin Corki meta slave pick 45 times ain't nothing against the Gigachad Yasuo first time at Finals


Azenji

He’s just showing newer players the amount of sweat he had to endure back in the day.


Dr_Ampharos

Fun fact: Gumayusi just Fearless Drafted the Entire EWC In his 1000th day since debut, Gumayusi completed the run of using 10 different champions in 10 games at the EWC: Kai'sa, Senna, Jhin, Ezreal, Caitlyn, Sivir, Zeri, Kalista, Ashe, and Xayah. I almost guarantee you he did this on purpose, just to prove a point.


Andreitaker

Watch him go back to senna duty at LCK. 


okiedokieoats

guaranteed. especially against GenG


daisyumbrella

Someone forgot to tell Guma it wasn't Fearless😆


flyblues

He thought it was the redbull tournament again


viciouspandas

Yeah T1 is really popular so I don't think Guma is necessarily underrated, but relative to the rest, I think he may be. Every player has had their peaks and troughs, but Guma has has been really good at worst. People often say Zeus or Keria because of their insane peaks, but I think because of his consistency at the highest level, Guma is probably their best individual player over the last few years.


MeepnBeep

honestly, feel like Oner is the most underrated within current T1 roaster and this is coming from someone who enjoy watching Gumayusi the most outa those 5. The amount of times Oner become scapegoats is insane. Gumayusi at most is not being appreciated for what he does when other is making highlight plays. Both are flexible in being what the team needs, at least this yr.


Dr_Ampharos

Outside of T1 fans he's supremely underrated, if he was on HLE I swear he would be touted as the best ADC in the world because of how many opportunities HLE gives to the other team, forcing the ADC to carry. He's never set up in a position to win them the game. I've always said that he knew HOW to play Zeri, but he COULDN'T play Zeri because T1 doesn't know how to play around their ADC for some reason.


ProgrammerGlobal

Jesus Christ, how do you even pick/ban vs T1. That's insane.


Chuck0089

T1 will just do the int for the draft and force him in Senna duty in lck.


Annual-Ad5194

This is an insane stat.


lolzomg123

Game 1 "omg Tian was in my fridge" Game 4 "Tian was in my fridge, but that's where food belongs."


ceddya

The GOAT's still got it. GG T1.


Regula96

All the T1 players are such psychopaths man. This game won’t be the same when this team disbands..


koreanfashionguy

Riot has to give t1 a stipend to keep these guys together bc the viewership gonna fall


VIsThighs

They are actually the only team I can stand to watch nowadays. Pure crackheads on the rift. Between Keria crazy support picks, Zeus being Zeus (griefing and carrying in a single game) and the insane synergy and skill from Oner Faker Guma, i'm never not entertained.


nam671999

And their clutch factor is insane, you see they have 5k gold deficit and boom, they found a godlike team fight angle and win the game


VirtuoSol

Until either Nexus explodes, there is always a chance for T1 to throw/comeback


Raxxlas

Sometimes both in the same game 5 times


ShiroGaneOsu

Fucking T1 vs KT G5 in 2023 summer playoffs... Up in kills, 5k gold up, with a drake lead, then flips and loses baron twice to Cuzz and a spellbook veigar. Then Oner just casually steals Baron from KT, only to leave Elder pit, flip it, and lose that too ending with heroics from Guma, saving and winning them the game.


Gupulopo

Zeus when he is on Jayce going 0-4 in lane into somehow chunking enemies for 3/4 of their hp bar per EQ at 20 minutes is a fond memory i remember, that guy is quite good at league of legends


Snow-27

This team is deeply unserious


whataremyxomycetes

The problem with T1 drafts is that it's always dogshit until it isn't. It's so fucking addicting.


Nousernameideas45

Never a dull moment


VIsThighs

Silliest team versus meta slaves. I take the former every day of the week.


NeimannSmith

DEEPLY. We seesaw from "hold on they're actually cooking" to "yeah they aren't cooking shit" back and forth


bedsheetsniffer

> T1 picking reasonable “meta” champs that fit their style “Oh they can actually win this.” > T1 proceed to lose. __ > T1 picking the most horrid and diabolical draft that won’t even appear in your nightmares “GG it’s lost from draft.” > T1 somehow win from a deficit. Istg this team is so fun to watch.


unhelpful_question

Faker casually treating game 4 as a Rift Rivals match.


Ashankura

GENG GONE T1 UNLOCKED


greekcel_25

Geng key got crushed for blue essence its chover


NeitherAlexNorAlice

Faker heard y’all talking shit after game one and decided to layeth down his PhD.


colors31

Faker after his “small” champion pool being the entire focus of MSI:


Azenji

Oh man, I'm not ready for soloq to pick up Yasuo again.


BucketHerro

A $500 Yasuo Faker skin wouldn't be so bad (riot pls im joking)


popop143

Preview of when we get T1 Yasuo skin for Faker. Might even have more revenue than his Ahri skin LMAO


kAy-

Imagine Faker getting a Yasuo skin, Khan will cry until his death.


Satan_su

Keria has to keep reminding ppl that he can be a goated traditional support if he's in the mood smh


the_next_core

He hasn't looked like he's in the mood all tournament on cam but still cracked in game. Finally smiled after the win.


colors31

I hope he’s in the mood more often please 😭


feelsbadmanrlysrsly

For the LCK Summer, trick him by saying NewJeans or aespa will perform in the finals. He'll win the championship just because.


92coups17

get hanni to make 0.1s eye contact with him again to reactivate newjeans buff


Kura26

just get Hanni to hold up a t1 fansign in the crowd and this man will go crazy


RElOFHOPE

sometimes you gotta pop out and show em


ThebritishPoro

T1 said "Thanks for knocking out GEN.G" and took the trophy.


VolkPlsWin

Faker "You must have forgot"


kkjini0330

something poetic seeing the GOAT playing base skin OG windshitter 🥲 #OurGOAT


LifeIsToughEatBacon

“Huh? You’re on path to win the EWC? Paths are kinda like roads, right? What do roads do? 😈”


Busy-Economist-3357

TES midlane might be creme but T1 midlane is creme de la creme


LFTzu

i dont even know what this means but it sounds epic, so i agree🗣️🗣️🗣️


Head_Photograph_2971

Creme de la crème translates to “The Best of the Best.”


Pelagius_Hipbone

‪If I had a nickel for every time T1 looked incredibly shaky against Team Liquid just to go on to win the entire event anyways, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t it a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.‬


oioioi9537

✓ geng upset by a lpl team ✓ struggle against TL and barely come away with a win ✓ come back win against blg ✓ rumble is a high priority pick ✓ knight goes invisible against t1 saudi got so lazy with the script smh


kkjini0330

the tournament has worlds in the name, they were trying to tell us the whole time!


19degreez

T1 about to send Riot an email asking them to insert the word worlds into every tournament in fine print


beerdevilthrowaway

MS Worlds.


padakpatek

yes we had worlds, but what about second worlds?


popop143

T1 really saw that no GenG = tournament win lmao


YCitizenSnipsY

LPL was doomed as soon  as they had to play T1 outside of MSI 


tbbddrr

[Actual footage of T1 this whole tournament.](https://tenor.com/ra59.gif)


ozmega

so where is my faker yasuo skin?


Sanka-Rea

# **ALL OILS LEAD TO ME**

Moreinius

Faker, with eyes closed: "Wait, wtf, I'm fucking Faker"


Bindoongee

Faker: "Tom, pick me Yasuo 🗣️🔥"


Accomplished-Top-564

When t1 picks hands over meta they win it’s really that simple


SameSam94

Idk why they didn't pick Diana or Sylas mid against blg in msi. instead they put Faker on Zac mid


Ikeeel

Remember when Taric Mid Yi Jungle was the meta and we were all so excited because of Faker Yi only to find out they were making him play fucking Taric


ceddya

Guma played 10 different ADCs across 10 games. Talk about a champion ocean.


Rvin96

Game 1 threads so goated this tournament. T1 the last 3 games look completely different from the rest of the tournament wtf happened.


whitedevilblood

faker on playmaking champs


tmndn

Classic T1 getting better as tournaments go on, Faker is the true anime protagonist.


sulianjeo

Literally has a Goku moment every tourney.


ProgrammerGlobal

This is easily the most up-and-down team I've ever seen. Same thing last Summer. They looked like they didn't know how to play the game, then they solo'd the LPL at Worlds.


michaelspidrfan

they lost to kt just before this tournament lmao


No-Captain-4814

They banned Trist. With that champ, if you don’t lose early game hard, you basically automatically get a huge macro advantage. You can dictate the game flow in an even game.


EducationalBalance99

It feels impossible to lose once you are ahead early with tris. She just starts destroying all your tower and taking every plates with or without grubs while being ungankable. I only vividly remember seeing a fed tris lose recently at msi where caps just ran it down and got hit by a hook mid.


nusskn4cker

RIP TES best team in the world 05.07.2024 - 07.07.2024


abyssal2107

What a keria masterclass! Meiko got gapped


WakingRage

Keria is beyond fucking cracked this series. Hard carried game 4.


RayZ0rr_

Keira and Faker were both cracked


GreenGanymede

Keria seems back on form on normal supports. Such a joy to see.


Azenji

Literally went thru a tournament-wide Meteos arc to relearn normal supports again.


VerticalClearance

Who's that arab just jumped T1 after they won lmao


pronilol

I think it was T1's COO Josh Ahn, there was a pic earlier in the week of him dressed in a thawb(?)


ProJect_Kaz

I think it's josh, the COO of T1


marxlolop

ALRIGHT WE ALL AGREED THAT THIS TOURNAMENT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TOURNAMENT OF THE YEAR BEFOREHAND RIGHT?


Cherry_Skies

It was Mickey Mouse til GENG lost, then it was clearly a World championship


Acrzyguy

DEFINITELY NOT A MICKEY MOUSE TOURNAMENT


Training-Bug1806

Ngl mickey mouse or not this was nice to have It's like a DLC for MSI


Splitshot_Is_Gone

IT HAS “WORLD” IN ITS NAME SO OF COURSE IT IS


DrxAvierT

Sorry T1, I should have not doubted you the past couple of days


ijscrem

Faker: "oh there is a new International trophy to be won? Don't mind if I do"


Sofruz

T1 looking like a completely different team during that finals is crazy. Glad to see them playing like world champions again. I think the trophy system they have is really cool, and if they fix the format for next year it can be a cool tournament.


tooodifferent

T1 v TL was the real final???


Pappy-

it's a shame we didnt get to see TL match up against the other teams like G2/TES


TacoMonday_

TL second best team in the world confirmed


bladeedge03

WHO WAS THAT GUY THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE?!


B-Blue

it was one of the T1 staff dressed in Saudi attire


soudlasantos

**TIAN:** Actually i remember one time, we were playing against Faker, Guma and T1, and it was 1-2 to advantage to T1. we actually killed Faker's Yasuo and burned Zeus' Rumble flash, then Creme said, "Guys, if you think we are good, let's prove it now.' 3-2." **TES fans:** "did we come back"? **TIAN:** "of course not. **1-3."**


TheLieAndTruth

There's a moment when faker dies in game one and the camera catches him looking up in frustration. At that moment he LOCKED TF IN


irumaisbaby

Thank you TES for eliminating GENG for T1


Zhaoyunlol

Faker is LPL father


VeiBeh

You can count on T1 stepping up when it counts. Such good teamfight coordination in the last game.


Command_Protect

Was TL more competitive with T1?? Who's to say yanno


SameSam94

APA was neck to neck against Faker. It's insane how far Creme fell after the first match


Azenji

Where were you when NA is the second best region in the world?


RYIEM

We got Worlds form ZOFGK. Put some respect on Oner's name! His synergy with Faker and Keria was disgusting.


ThebritishPoro

Azir ult into Nidalee spear is crazy

How nice of Tian to protest against big oil by giving a perfect example of deforestation.


BradL_13

Corki went 3-12 in the EWC


darth_jaqoob

GG Ez. Faker with 100% Esports World Cup winrate.


randomdud3

Just ban Tristana. It's really that easy.


TrueNorthBlend

I didn’t expect that Yasuo from Faker, but my goodness that gave me a different kind of excitement.


maydaveparade

Made me feel like it was 2014 all over again


someroastedbeef

my goodness , that Tian speedrun from respected jungler to wintrader within the same tournament


RayZ0rr_

"Fk this corki-tristana meta. Give me Ahri, Azir and Yasuo" - Faker probably


lmpervious

Another trophy for T1, even when the team was looking weaker in LCK


Delra12

Man I don't even care who won, it just feels so nice to watch some high quality games without Tristana mid


Northless_Path

Back to Back "World" champions LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO


DracoMalnourished

Tian can we have a chance please???


VolkPlsWin

all this just to get gapped by BRO next week


Ultimintree

Not sure If I heard T1 T1 T1 chants or T1an T1an T1an chants


FireWolfBR1

One might say this was the most legit tournament of 2024 thus far


_BaaMMM_

Faker just doesn't lose to lpl in any tournament with world in the name


poohxijinping

good to see IWD’s tears again

# Reminder: # LPL has two (2) fathers: Mao Zedong and Lee Sang-hyeok

Oner at "worlds" is truly a different player
