Foreword: The S16 season has officially started, and most fans are paying close attention to the recent games. The LCK's third stage is extremely intense. On the first day, the LCK scheduled a major e-commerce battle between T1 and KT. It was expected to be thrilling, but it turned into a one-sided stomp. Even without practice due to a last-minute substitution, KT easily defeated T1 2-0. Many Korean netizens are now discussing whether T1 should disband, especially the jungler Oner, a top-tier professional who even missed the simplest RQ combo with Lee Sin.

T1's mid, top, jungle, and support take turns spinning and feeding.

Most fans are familiar with T1, the LCK's top team. In recent years, they have maintained high popularity and heat, winning multiple World Championships and playing comfortably even after roster changes. This season, after buying AD player Peyz, their results haven't been as impressive as expected. They failed to enter world-class competition in the first stage, and in the second stage, they were eliminated in the MSI tournament by G2, not even making it to the finals.

During the recent K杯 exhibition match, T1's full roster was also crushed by other teams. It was thought to be just a fun game, but it turned out to reflect Faker's true current form. In the first match of the third stage, T1 vs KT was a foregone conclusion, especially since KT had to replace their AD player at the last minute. Starting mid laner Bdd and AD Aiming had a fierce argument during practice, reaching an irreconcilable point, forcing KT to urgently bring up their second-team substitute AD. This AD, without any practice with the team, still held up under pressure and helped secure the victory.

In the first game, the early stages saw no major economic gap, with both sides trading kills and pushing forward. At the 17-minute dragon fight, Doran died first. T1 secured the dragon but lost the teamfight 2-3. At 22 minutes, T1 initiated a fight! Faker got a double kill, leading to a 1-3 victory and gradually pulling ahead economically, with a lead of nearly 4,000 gold at its peak. However, in a crucial teamfight, Faker's Akali was caught out, KT took Baron, and completed a comeback.

The second game followed a similar script. Just eight minutes in, Bdd's Yone secured a triple kill, and KT won a 3-0 teamfight in the jungle. But through subsequent macro play, T1 gradually closed the gold gap and even took a significant lead. In the mid-game teamfights, Doran even solo-killed his opponent. However, at 28 minutes, T1's top and jungle successively threw themselves away, and KT once again grouped up, took Baron, and completed the comeback.

The most terrifying part of this match was Oner. Once a top-tier jungler, he even missed the simplest RQ combo with Lee Sin. Many Korean netizens are passionately discussing this game.

— Oner is way too impulsive;

— This must be an internal communication and shot-calling issue. DNS also didn't solve this problem. Could T1 also...

— Keria seems to have lost his joy for the game.

— KT: Internal discord; T1: Just frustrating to watch.

— Aren't you tired of it? Every time they have a lead, they start throwing, then lose with terrible teamfights. This has happened at least five times this year!

— I really didn't expect KT to win... nice!

— FenRir played well;

— They said Peyz escaped JDG, how ridiculous. The place you're at is JDG;

— That top lane Ryze ult was really unacceptable. Unless Yone was trolling, there was no way to catch him like that;

— Didn't we say earlier that T1's top, mid, and jungle were getting impatient because the AD couldn't carry late game? How strange~

In my opinion,

No one expected T1's first match of the third stage to go like this. Could it be that G2 truly broke them? Even Faker, who everyone respects, made a critical mistake in this game. If his Akali hadn't been caught at the end of the first game, T1 could have easily won. Jungler Oner has been problematic since the World Championship, and it seems his relationship is affecting him greatly.

What do you think about this, dear audience?
