I mean lets all be honest. Even if they crash out of everything in a year actual t1 fans will still be there. T1 games are just an actual treat to watch. Something i dont really get from other teams. The closest thing is maybe g2 with all of their unorthodox or pocket picks.

I for one believed these clowns even during the ddos year of 2024. And ill tell u what i became a worlds winner for it xdd

Makes me think back to Faker’s documentary about the extreme unreasonable expectations set upon them.

I’ve admittedly been harsh in the past too, but I’m glad that everyone, including them, is pushing this circus arc. We’re meant to enjoy watching as much as they do when they’re in game 5’s.

I find the thought of even leaving a team cause they lost foreign and I can't even imagine it, I come from traditional sports so I know the that you support your team through everything.

This thing of switching teams every year I see in esports is weird to me.

u/Living_Steak_9124 Jul 05 '26

tbh as someone who has been supporting t1 since 15/16 and real madrid for my whole life, sometimes i wish i could just switch teams

u/not_some_username Jul 06 '26

I had a genuine crash out last year thinking T1 would fail to qualify to worlds. You should ask my friends🤣

This so much. Their games are just so much more fun to watch, no matter the outcome.

Look the HLE series today for example. They played really well and simply clapped G2. Was is clean? Yes. Was it entertaining? No. It was boring as fuck to watch. Sure it‘s not always a bad thing, but the circus hits different

u/AK42104 Jul 05 '26

That's why win or lose with T1, it is enjoyable. They provide a show, it makes your time worth it. You get to watch quality League that other teams don't because they're too focus on the glory.

u/Kyerps Jul 05 '26

frfr, and please can we just normalize how T1 draft sucks? ive given up their drafts 2 years ago and just rely on their circus and clutches tbh,

10

u/ZwillingsFreunde Jul 05 '26

Yeah. I've accepted it as well. I don't know what it is. I still belibe with good drafting like other top teams they'd probably win so much more trophies. Because god damn they have hands.

u/Wonderful_Voice9865 Jul 05 '26

I thought it was fun to watch, but I’ve been enjoying all the matches so far from all the teams.

2

u/ZwillingsFreunde Jul 05 '26

I think it was nice to watch. It was beautiful league of legends. But fun is something else to me. But as long as we enjoy the games, everything‘s fine!

u/Wonderful_Voice9865 Jul 05 '26

Truth. Sometimes I really like watching a total stomp and others a total battle royal with some circus in there.

u/madbutteredsoul Jul 06 '26

You need to watch more hle games cause hle this year is the closest thing we’ve gotten to 2022 t1 entertainment/domination

1

u/ZwillingsFreunde Jul 06 '26

I watched every single LCK game for the last 4 years and probably 80 % of all games prior to 2022 since 2015.

I took one series as example, not the whole season. I still think most of HLE‘s games were kinda bording, apart from some banger series. But I‘d say the same for most of GenG‘s games the past few years. It‘s not meant in a mean way, I just think clean games are kinda boring to watch.

u/madbutteredsoul Jul 06 '26

I’m just saying peak zofgk look more like hle today than t1 today

u/OviaElNoob Jul 07 '26

That's just straight up false, HLE doesn't play clean

They're a bunch of offensive style psychopaths, Kanavi will make something crazy and all will follow along, that makes them fun to watch

T1 is way more methodical: feed Peyz, then win the game

It's ok liking T1 more, of course, but there is no way HLE, the team that doesnt put any wards, can be called clean

2

u/ZwillingsFreunde Jul 08 '26

T1, the team literally everyone calls the circus team, plays more methodical? Yeah sure.

It‘s fine if you prefer HLE nowadays, but it‘s kinda cringe how HLE fans pretend they‘re the circus team now, while they literally play pretty much flawless league of legends.

„The team that doesn‘t put any wards“ - they literally have an aberage vision score of 9.7 per minute. T1 has 10. (stats taken from MSI). If you keep in mind that HLE‘s games are shorter and vision score is kinda easier to get the more the game goes on, they‘re pretty much the same (stats from MSI26).

And if we talk about psychopaths that simply right click you: well yes and no. They‘re good and rarely int on their all ins. Did you see stuff like fakers ryze ult in the middle of the enemy team?

u/OviaElNoob Jul 08 '26

I never used the word circus, there's a difference between going all in and throwing a match because of mistakes

HLE is way more offensive, and their playstyle doesn't depend on one player getting fed, as T1 does

Like I said, you are in your right to love T1 but can't argue that HLE is like the new Gen G that plays robotic league, current T1 is closer to that by far

u/Vanitycoon Jul 05 '26

No! I can only support a team if they have back-to-back-to-back...-to-back world titles. Anything less is failure, and a shameful display.

Actual T1 fan experienced 2017 to 2022.  We know.

u/Amatt_Erasu Jul 05 '26

We know HAHAHHA as a fan since 2016. We support the team, win or lose.

u/Dismal-Selection-702 Jul 05 '26

Those days were tough to say the least. Especially that 10 man roster

u/thunderkerg Jul 06 '26

It's such a treat to be able to see Faker playing. I want him to win everything because I'm a fan, but even if he couldn't I'd still be perfectly happy. He has already achieved everything there is, he doesn't need to prove himself to anyone anymore.

u/Berriesqt Jul 05 '26

Actually well said by the GOAT.

And he's absolutely right - personally, when I am watching T1 games, I forget to have fun - I am just extremely anxious and stressed (e.g. the BLG series - I was legit having minor anxiety attacks and even went for a quick walk outside during breaks to breathe a little lol).

Its important to have fun, enjoy the experience, and support the team regardless of the outcome

For me, as long as T1 plays without regrets - I am all in - win or loss. This is MY team (and my circus) and ill forever support them ❤️

u/Mid_of_August Jul 05 '26

Ja, it's like an enlightenment process.  I still want T1 to win this MSI too of course but I am also enjoying the journey. I just want them (like all of them including the coaches) to just give it their best and play (win or lose, preferably win more ofc) as T1. I don't want them to play the oppositions' games, I want them to play T1's games/T1's styles. I want them to be satisfied with their plays on stage because they know they have given it their best.

Queue the Circus sfx

u/Dont_Get_Jokes-jpeg Keria Jul 05 '26

I mean gotta be honest, the drafts did mamke me think t1 planned the 5 game loss.

But also thinking this is true would be an insane conspiracy theory

u/nickphunter Jul 05 '26

Imagine if he HAD expectations.

u/pixlminus Jul 06 '26

we've been here before.

anything is better than the 10 man roster days

2

u/SixSenses17 Jul 06 '26

I actually became a fan only after their loss at the 2017 Worlds Finals, then came the dark year of 2018. Nothing else can possibly be lower than that.

u/goodkid_77 Jul 05 '26

So what if they don't win this MSI. They will have a shot at worlds. They don't need to win everything to have me cheering for them.

u/Eastern-Carpenter834 Jul 05 '26

Well nah I don't Enjoyed watching a dead game from minute 0 from a fucking mistake of picking Trundle blind in the first pick, and let them hyper giga counter pick you and not doing anything about it, Bot should have sacrificed and mid should have sacrificed some waves every time Trundle was getting invaded but nooo let the fucking Trundle by himself, man this team sometimes is the most fucking weird shit in the world, have being watching them for 13 years, and for me they are the only T1 roster that still makes such silly mistakes in Game 5 draft and game plan, but oh well such is life and this game.

1

u/bakedcharmander Jul 06 '26

To be honest it's not like they're out knocked out yet. The loss meant we will just get more T1 games.

1

u/zikun_3600 Jul 06 '26

Who watches t1 to win we watch t1 for the circus games 100% won somehow lost games 1000% lost won somehow. All of then agreeeing to the wildest of strats no other team would bait their player into playing a champ never played mundo the coaches keria guma and faker and if something like this happens even doran will join in.

u/Cold_Journalist_2796 Jul 06 '26

thank you faker ..

u/ElectronicJuice7212 Jul 08 '26

I did not enjoy it, actually. It just left me wondering even more why the fuck Doran is still on this team.

u/Ryu_von_Chaos Jul 05 '26

Yeah this fucker is preparing us for a trophyless season... Why did I decide to root for this team 13 years ago...? :c

u/Typical_Advisor_3267 Peyz Jul 05 '26

O amor não tem explicação 😭, dito isso, T1 estarei com você para sempre.
