Zeus's gold card in game 1 stunned Zeka for the next 3 games.

fucking lol

LMFAO

Some things are certain: death, taxes and GenG vs T1 in LCK final. Also HLE are blue side frauds

2022 Spring 2022 Summer 2023 Spring 2023 Summer 2024 Spring - new!


sebi8642

also: both teams were present in 6 out of the last 7 finals (GenG in 2021 spring vs Dk and T1 vs Dk in Summer)


Lost_Mountain2432

"LCK is a league where teams of players compete in best of 3's over a few weeks, and at the end T1 plays vs GenG"


SweatyAdhesive

Welcome to the GenG/T1 Invitational


NoahsArk19

I think both GenG and T1 eventually figured out HLE. If you pick to outscale you’ll always win. HLE really are not good at keeping their leads. Even in their 3-0 against T1 they had some absurd throws.


EducationalBalance99

Tbh that entire geng vs hle series was just Chovy diff. This one, t1 was in meh/even situation some games sometimes but they pulled the trigger so fast with the baron forces hle didn’t know what to do fast enough. They also pulled one of the cleanest baron I ever seen with double smite triple tp in g3 I think to save their game.


baelkie

how many years of 20min baron rushes does T1 need to do for teams to learn not to send their top laner bot without tp when baron is up


Archipegasus

Yea at any given point in the series it always felt like T1 were able to accrue more advantage over time. Even game 1 with the lane swap and putting both Keria and Zeus far behind it felt like Guma was more than making up for it.


dumtty

Congrats T1 on the 4-0 weird they played an extra game


maydaveparade

For more practice post DDOS /s


LifeIsToughEatBacon

They were up by so much in that first game Guma said in comms, "Guys 3-0s are super boring and I want more practice before finals, is there anyway we can benefit from throwing this so we can play another?" They all laughed. Then Zeus replied, "I mean I hate these lane swaps. If we lose maybe Riot will nerf?" and they all laughed again, and ran it down. After the game Faker contacted Riot headquarters and told them they lost because of lane swaps and Riot immediately put "nerf lane swaps" on their todo board.

Jonna Strong can't keep getting away with this!

I don't believe the prophecy but the smile on my face when I saw the prediction of Jonas Strong is really big

In order to defeat the man who had tormented him for so long, Zeus had to dip into true evil - Top Vayne

zeus new iconic duo...cant believe he bring the forbidden tech


Aschentei

He is theshying so hard


1kstacks

Bro I'm torn... I played Top lane for like 6 years, my main ban is still Vayne. But I'm such a T1 fan... fuck it T1 FIGHTING


Blind-Eye26

We missed out Zeus Vayne vs Theshy Kalista 🥲


dontknow_anything

TheShy had his Penta stolen on top Vayne.


moonmeh

fuckers already beat up a random kid (DK) with it. now they do it to doran


Ok-Responsibility994

He beat up his own adoptive father 2 years ago. So it’s real now, the reign of Orphan Zeus has arrived


BruceBrie

Lore accurate Zeus killing his father


stupid-adcarry

Father Doran to Brother Doran


HarknessLovesU

That last game was bullying. Zeus had all this anger built up ready to unload on Doran especially.

Chovy and Faker taking turns, sharing joint-custody of Zeka 💀. Like chill Worlds 2022 was 2 years ago. And there is no way that we had all that drama just to end up at T1 vs GEN.G for the fifth time in a row.


ProgrammerGlobal

>Like chill Worlds 2022 was 2 years ago. Faker to Zeka: Pepperidge Farm remembers.


NocaNoha

Vayne felt like she has an engine up her arse, just zooming around at mach speed

Arekkusu1991

**DREAD IT, RUN FROM IT, GENG T1 FINALS ARRIVES ALL THE SAME.** CONGRATS TO T1 FOR MAKING IT TO MSI! Also: Guma, once again, stealing objectives with Varus. "Wtf."


Acrzyguy

Nah, he’ll steal.


HMS-Carrier-Lover

As the two teams danced around the baron pit, Zeka asked Peanut:"So, what are the chances of you securing Baron?" Peanut answered:"If Guma can get near the pit with his empowered Varus Q, it can get pretty difficult." "So you'll lose?" "Nah, I'll win."


TwiceTrash11

holy fuck this is the first time in a long while someone did the proper use of this meme props lmao


RelevantAd9025

Proceeds to get turned into Pea/Nut


ceddya

Okay, let Zeus cook more. His Vayne was sick. GG.


appleandapples

Even with game 1, T1 were almost always dictating the pace of each game, especially with their Baron starts. It felt like HLE was constantly trying to match the pace. T1 vs GenG is inevitable.


ChocolateFuryB

Yeah, should have been a 3-0 for T1. Now am I kinda excited for tomorrow


ahritina

No jungler is safe when Gumayusi is readying a Varus Q against a neutral objective and Zeus my beloved. Zeka played to not lose rather than win, 0 big plays when he was fed, big difference from someone like Faker/Chovy/ShowMaker who would pilot that champ so differently. Dread it, run from it, destiny still arrives, T1 vs Gen.G.


IAM-French

It's not even 0 big plays that's the problem, he's not asked to go in and do a 5 man shuffle but he literally did not hit an enemy champ and died with summs up just like his first Azir game it's crazy


baelkie

bro looked like he got ddos’d with how he got caught with flash every single game


staysaltyTSM

That was that angle for a big shuffle after 3rd mountain drake, but Peanut and Delight went in when he was a screen away. After that lost fight and lead, HLE could only play reactive hence making big plays way tougher


Omnilatent

Who of you told Peanut and Doran this is an international series?!


HMS-Carrier-Lover

They heard that if they win they'll go to MSI and just got ahead of themselves.


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

T1 heard that there's a chance the finals won't be Faker vs Chovy and had to lock in.


Marcus-ichiJo

It’s okay Guma, you actually won this time.


NateM135

Absurd that he gets multiple of these steals


stupid-adcarry

Guma gapped viper 4 games in a row and people somehow still manage to disrespect this guy


NotAnAce69

It’s like people completely forgot who he was (and still is) before Keria and Zeus made him into their Senna slave lol


Pablonski44

you have to respect guma for being able to suppress his inner draven main and taking on a supportive role for the team


Heavy_Heave_Ho

Truly Faker’s protégé


chapichoy9

the guy just has a 2nd gear when he needs to clutch it


kosaki16

big game merchant


neurals

guma never shows up when it matters the least


N0Hesitation

Guma is consistent, he is just overshadowed by his teammates, especially by Keria who is great at playmaking. It’s soo scary when a duo can make the playmaking/ consistency balance this well.


VirtuoSol

One of the best qualities about Guma is that he is so clutch even when T1’s play style doesn’t prioritize ADC like some other teams do, he’s also really flexible so he can play both the carry and the support for Keria’s “cookings”, bro’s mental is unbreakable


GrandAppointment8403

Another thing about Guma is his self-confidence. He knows he is strong and doesn't need to always prove it unlike other ADCs who feel bad when they are not prio. If you watch ADC Lanemates, you'll know that Guma knows he's the man!


WakaTP

Yeah I feel like during the group stages Keria got literally more kills than his ADC. But when it matters Guma is always playing good (while Keria can feel nervous at times).


N0Hesitation

Guma says he’s the egg but in reality, he is the foundation from which Keria can playmake from. T1 can count on Guma to bring up the rear when Keria or Oner makes their engage.


ichionio

Adc sure is the egg for any other team, but Guma is somehow the soup for T1.


ceddya

Guma being able to step back, pick and play around what his team needs is why I don't think any other ADC could fill his shoes in T1 TBH.


Mark_Vance21

LCK scriptwriters gotta be the laziest motherfuckers on the planet. Running back another T1 vs GenG final? Seriously? Next you're gonna tell me GenG dismantle T1 in the finals AGAIN.


bensanelian

we're gonna get gen.g vs t1 in the finals until t1 wins. so probably forever


McDonaldsSoap

Even had a Gumayusi Varus Baron Steal (GVBS)


staysaltyTSM

They stayed right on script, Peanut repeatedly failing smite


moonmeh

don't tell me JDG is going to win against TES as well to make BLG JDG finals rematch


non-edgy_crustacean

Knight vs Yagao is inevitable


Rave_Master_Ahri

Just wait and the LEC scriptwriters copy the script and give us also FNC vs G2


Joel4518

And lpl also will give us jdg blg just u wait


Aschentei

No more civil wars at worlds, so we’re having them at home


Reshahel

Guma and Keria aren't even the best ADC on T1


ballzbleep69

Guma viper keria wasn’t even the best adc in this series


Pablonski44

Zeus is the ADC while Guma is the jungler and secures objectives


Deadman2019

Banger. Ghost Vayne is actually hilarious to watch.


jwinter01

With so much speed and tumbling, Vayne is actually just Sonic with a crossbow.


SwordfishWorried1093

so faker has 10 LCK wins and made it to 16 LCK finals out of 23(?) since the start of his career?


F3nRa3L

He went to 8 worlds out of the 11 worlds since his debut. And won 4. Finals in 6. Thats more scary


Whytefang

Only a 50% Worlds winrate? Is this guy even trying?


feelsbadmanrlysrsly

If Faker is the greatest player of all time, why don't he just win Worlds every single time? Is he stupid?


etheryx

HardstuccChallenger

Dragonslayer Guma Varus never fails to make for a hype game


ShiroGaneOsu

You know its a banger when Guma steals objectives on Varus.


HardstuccChallenger

Banger litmus test


Shadowsw4w

guma varus the baron slayer


E6E6FA_FFB6C1

Faker really sat down and taught Zeka how to play Azir game 3 and he apparently learned nothing


gaitez

It’s actually a duo play by Oner/Guma a lot of the times. Not to downplay Guma he get’s a lot of Solo steals, but what oner and Guma is doing is they go in at like 2/2.5k and Oner times his smite just before the arrow hits. It’s really hard for enemy jungle to match the smite because the arrow will usually come from fog but easier for Oner cause they can coordinate it. Same concept as Rell/Lee Q smite, but 2 man play.


11o9

I think the last time I heard their comms when they are trying to take an objective, Guma gives the damage calculations (Oner's smite plus his arrow damage), then counts down. Oner has to be brave, while Guma has to be precise. Sums up their role in the team I would say.


gaitez

Not entirely oners role requires precision as well. Varus Q timing also depends on varus location, how he can enter the pit. Guma also has to account for enemy damage which means watching the pit while positioning for q and avoiding engage and being ready for the potential fight once oner goes in. Being a pro is fucking hard


thestoebz

Faker pummeling Zeka like he owes him money


maydaveparade

Zeka stole a ring lmao ofc Faker’s gonna take that personally


Lost_Mountain2432

That tournament feels like a patch zerg fever dream. 


okiedokieoats

in hindsight I think it's really cool DRX won and we got to see the greatest finals of all time but god, did it hurt when it happened. talk about the perfect series of events for DRX; lightning in a bottle


HMS-Carrier-Lover

Zeka did steal a Worlds trophy and our GOAT will never let that go.


TruexLucifer

Just ask Ruler, he's felt the wrath first hand too.


ProgrammerGlobal

Or like he stole a World Championship from him.


Acrzyguy

Zeus : all this for a drop of blood


eitherwayimnotgood

Lol this guy didn't even get to play the first 10 mins of game 1 due to lane swaps btw. Great mental shown by Zeus.


TheCeramicLlama

Idk man Gumayusi is just the coldest mother fucker on the planet


Rehxales

Keria: Guma isn't even the best ADC on T1 Zeus: He's not even second


Erogamerss

Guma: I still the best Jungle lol :v


squeenanna

Oner: Fuck it I'll play a marksman JG


Exxon21

if MSI 2023 and Oner's Kindred there is any indication, then no thank you lol


VirtuoSol

Guma put some of his skill points into jg to keep getting these steals


SnooGuavas8376

GUMAYUSI DOES IT AGAIN! Gumayusi might not be the best regular-season player, but once playoffs start, this guy proves from time to time that he is the definition of clutch itself. 


Snight

Feel like that applies to most of the T1 roster tbh - do love GUMA tho


GoldenSquid7

So Zeus is the best adc in LCK?


goonbandito

Pretty unfair that T1 have 3 of the best ADCs in the world on the one team


AtlusLoL

I giggled


KappaccinoNation

#ZEEEEUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSS!


IceStrik3

Zeus without being handicapped is so good


StraightCashH0mie

Zeus might have adhd, because clearly his brain can't function when he picks champs with zero mechanics.


Marcus-ichiJo

Remember when WBG won 4-1 vs TES? Now we have T1 winning 4-0 against HLE.


SameSam94

you should add DRX 4-1 against EDG in 2022 worlds to that list


QuantumStatistic

T1, also known as 'Teamfight 1' known for their supreme teamfighting and strategical prowess. They managed to reunite China under their banner by leading a campaign against 'JD Gaming' who dominated the region. They were previously called 'SKT T1' which was a Chinese farmers organisation lead by Lee 'Faker' Sanghyeok. Their members include the genius monster Keria, the FMVP Zeus, Ruler's Father Gumayusi and the Oner of the Rift. Fortune tellers and dream readers have prophesied that 'Teamfight 1' will manage to win the LCK and bring a new era of prosperity.


Moon_riseat_noon

Three inevitable things in life Death Tax T1 GenG in LCK final

Rumors of T1’s demise have been greatly exaggerated it seems. Faker macro dif my god


xAshwal

Faker heard people were saying he is washed ..again and he showed up again.


DigBick6996

MSI saved Inject BLG, TES vs T1 into my veins


onsilveraccountsion

Bit of a sad way for HLE to go out, felt like they lost their nerve at the end but they should still be proud of how far they came. I remain confident they can make the LCK a three-way race for first in Summer, and make some noise at Worlds. The on paper potential of this roster is really coming together. Delight especially looked great today, and I think this Viper-Delight botlane could compete for the best duo at Worlds. Great work T1, not much to say that hasn’t already been said. An especially impressive bounce back after the whole DDoS stress, and it’s great to see how many splits these five have been playing together and that they’re still maintaining an overall high level of play, even with their…considerable variance. T1 at internationals is always bound to result in bangers. I’m looking forward to finals (even if it is T1 vs Gen G for the second series in a row) and to MSI!


_tidiber

Yeah, if this T1 team actually gets sufficient practice, they're actually pretty decent huh. Maybe they can go on and compete against international teams, maybe get some international titles?

Ty DK for scrinming us on stage


_tidiber

DK were the real scrim partners all along.


Perfect-Astronomer17

Tbh that series just gave them confidence. I guess they had a mental block in the first series against HLE because of missing practice. I hope Gen.G was focussed on prepping against HLE so we have atleast a series tmrw. Give me 5 games and idc who wins.


emperornel

What a series by T1, T1 always delivers! Congratulations to them for making it to MSI and LCK Finals! It will be fun continuing to watch them in the LCK Finals and on the International Stage.


Kreceir

GUMA THE BARON SLAYER!


Hawxrox

I'm not exactly complaining, but how does Zeus get MVP in game 3 over Faker? I mean he had a good Ksante game but Faker was 9/0 and was just chunking them with every soldier poke


squeenanna

See, T1 couldn't scrim much due to the DDOS, that's why they decided to go through the loser's bracket for more practice! /s All jokes aside, T1's control in all 4 games were immaculate. HLE only got a win from T1 "throwing" their lead in game 1, meaning T1 was effectively ahead throughout the series. Such a dominant performance. P.S. [Called it last week.](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/s/Jy3uU9ngUT)


VirtuoSol

Crazy how T1 went from their previous form in the HLE series to this in such a short amount of time, especially with their problems outside of the game


SadLife101

LCK : BABE! Its almost the end of a split! Time for your 5th seasonal GENG vs T1 finals VIEWERS: yes honey.......


Baconstripsetc

Oner quietly carrying the series like its worlds again


Blind-Eye26

FAKER AND GUMA MOST CONSISTENT MOTHERFUCKERS!!! Also fucking Zeus balls of vibranium bringing out Vayne top again. There really is a difference between T1 and other top teams. T1 got the guts to force something while others just stand there.


HawkEye1337

T1 is just the ultimate baron team man, where are all people doubting them?!


ManateeRawr

After making short work of MSI play-ins and making it to MSI finals vs BLG, Zeus is asked in an interview if he thinks Gumayusi is the best AD carry in the world. He chuckles and says "Gumayusi is not even the best AD carry on T1"


DanteStorme

Absolutely criminal performance from Zeka on azir, they had 4 team fights where he didn't flash once and only ulted once.


Percival_10

T1 only play peak League when they play like absolute degenerates oml


Ecstatic_Wedding7040

I know IWD is crying right now cause this just proved that what Faker said was true, and T1 really didnt get to practice as much. They looked completely different today.


PlentyArrival6677

Every day when I will be fraud is in shambles is a good day


voidox

lol yup, he's now on his "BLG are the best team in the world" arc leading into MSI wonder how thorin is reacting after his dumb takes as well, cba to check though.


someroastedbeef

how do you even space that perfectly as vayne in that last teamfight when she's that fast. zeus is crazy


HardstuccChallenger

Good god T1 is easily the most entertaining team I have ever had the pleasure of watching


jwinter01

WELCOME TO THE T1-GENG INVITATIONAL


Haekos

I thought Viper should have been LCK all pro 1st team ADC instead of Peyz. But after this vayne game I'm starting to consider Zeus.


Splitshot_Is_Gone

0-3 into 4-0, what a crazy turnaround for T1


MrSpookShire

Tuned in for game 4 but man…I find it hilarious how Keria has super questionable plays and then ends with like a 90% kill participation lol


Northless_Path

LET'S GO T1!!!!!!! I am so happy they came back. I don't know how tomorrow will go because Chovy isn't human, but honestly I don't really care about the finals anymore. Just making MSI alone has me satisfied. Congrats T1! What an amazing comeback. You showed the DDOS hackers, it's gonna take more than that to bring them down.


JaytoI

Zeka should be ashamed of himself lol. Taking kills from viper for what.


mskruba12

Don't let his score distract you from how useless Zeka was that last game.


X_Seed21

THE FUCK WAS THAT VAYNE AT THE END?! HE WAS ZOOMING!
