Even though it's just a showmatch, the audience can still draw some conclusions, especially about T1 and LCK.
Showmatch tournament but can predict the fate of LCK and T1
Recently, a series of showmatch matches between teams consisting of players in the same position ended with the victory of the Mid Lane team gathering many superstars such as Faker, Chovy, ShowMaker, Bdd and perhaps VicLa is the least famous. This is just a pre-season warm-up series, but many viewers are interested and have their own opinions.
Mid Lane team won the showmatch tournament.
Despite gathering 5 players, 3/5 of whom have never played on the same team together (except Faker and Chovy), the Mid Lane squad has operated extremely smoothly. In particular, in the final match against the Top Road team, all 5 members were in sync with each move as if they had been teammates for a long time.
Shows that the Mid Lane will still be very strong and be the main force of the LCK in the 2025 season.
According to many assessments from both audiences and experts, the role of the Mid Lane, especially that of a commander, is still too important. In teams like Top Lane, Gunner or Jungle, they don't have a true leader who is used to commanding. While the Support team has the "fun" factor.
In addition, Faker's commanding role (mid lane team captain) also continues to be effective even though his teammates are all top superstars with big egos. Of course, even a fun showmatch can hardly show Faker's full qualities. But combined with T1's recent achievements, these are clear demonstrations of G.O.A.T's leadership ability.
Faker continues to show his leadership ability.
T1 this season will likely be very strong
T1's playing style will almost certainly be diversified when Doran can play all odds with opponents. Combined with the wide champion pool of the Bottom lane pair and Oner's increasingly stable form, Faker may be somewhat relieved of his burden.
T1 next season will likely be very comprehensive.
Other opponents will also be very strong, but clearly T1 has a basis for confidence. In addition, changes in the format of this year's LCK tournaments will likely contribute to making the matches even more tense and worth looking forward to.
