A T1 player plays quite "in span" and contributes to the home team

The biggest hope of T1 has a disappointing day

Thus, with the defeat against Hanwha Life Esports in the afternoon of May 28 (Vietnam time), T1 ended the hope of reaching the top 2 after the regular Seasons 2025 group stage ended. Although their MSI 2025 Playoffs journey will be a bit longer, T1 still has the hope to participate in China. However, although not too sad but undeniable: Faker had a bad day and the "span" of "G.O.A.T" was a significant reason for T1's failure.


Faker has a forgotten competition day.

Specifically, in both games, Faker plays somewhat ... too carefully and from there more slowly than his teammates. In game 1, Faker's Viktor takes too much time to go to the Truong Sinh staff leading to lack of damage in the fight. Through the second game, the "beat" that made Faker's Galio almost only used the ultimate when the T1 member was lowered. In addition, the cautious speed of Faker in game 1 also helps Zeka regain the advantage of the road.


Faker himself probably realized his pace contributed greatly, causing T1 to lose.

Of course, it is impossible to ask Faker to always shine and the fact that he plays carefully is a reason when each smallest mistake is enough to make T1 pay. But the more fear of the mistake, the more likely it would be, and the T1 met with this. Faker and his junior teammates were too careful. While HLE is not afraid of unexpected situations and they really broke T1's tactics completely in both games even though game 1 obviously has many advantages in the first match.


T1 still has a chance but must be willing to play boldly at the right time.

T1 has the opportunity to correct it before it is too late

The upcoming playoffs round will not have room for mistakes and T1 understands this very well. In both matches against Gen.G or HLE, Faker and his teammates have the opportunity but cannot decide the game. For strong opponents, just a single snap of the match is enough to reverse. Therefore, T1 needs to completely overcome all mistakes, firmly hit but willing to create mutations to be able to win against Gen.G or HLE.
