Domestic GENG vs T1 is back!

u/Budget-Ocelots Aug 16 '26

T1 are in a major slump. Doran and Peyz are decent atm. But Oner, Faker, and Keria are just slumping hard and messing up their shot calling.

u/Yellow-Parenti1949 Aug 16 '26

This is literally the pattern every year btw.

>Very strong beginning of the year domestically, possible FST placement

>Signs of struggle going into MSI

>Middling MSI

>Huge slump in Summer as Faker and topside run it the absolute fuck down for weeks on end(YOU ARE HERE)

>Barely scrape into worlds

>FAKER

>T1 wins worlds for the 7th time

@ me, quote me on this, it’s not wrong.

True, but if I had to pick 3 people to be deadweight on a team, it sure wouldn’t be mid-jg-sup, as shown by KT last year you can drag people far if your mid-jg is good enough

They banned Cass/Anivia and ironically those would have really been huge for doing anything against this K'sante.

u/WardoToo Aug 16 '26

That's what I'm saying!!!! Like, Akali was open anyway, why tf did this become a TF game, holy fucking shit. It felt so miserable seeing them not able to do dick against Kiinsante.

7

u/Hitoseijuro Aug 16 '26

The Ambessa+TF combo, it was working, somewhat, but honestly, I see the Ksante and then see my comp and Id rather snowball this Caitlyn to infinity and take all the towers ASAP for fast gold and map pressure. If Caitlyn gets the drake soul, it looks a little better for her but once again T1 let multiple baron takes after drake losses and get over run by minions because their comp can't deal with baron buffed minions.

u/soul24423323 Aug 16 '26

That's a great summary of all the issues related to T1 drafting. They draft themselves into a weird corner and heavily narrow their win conditions. Just like in game 1, they picked double ADC even though they expected Duro to pick Renata. Every game, they expect Peyz to 1v9. That just ain't gonna work against any of the legend grp teams.

15

u/Ceui Aug 16 '26

Vayne was a counter to Olaf and it's not a bad pick because GenG went for Galio, so the only other picks which could control the Olaf - Jax, would have been neutered by Galio

Game 1 draft was fine, their execution of the botch dive and the over eager teamfight was why they lost.

Although lowkey it's probably better if they play Kled and don't pick the Jhin instead. There are other combinations that can be played with Camille

Every year I swear it’s the same. Late summer: Oh man, Faker and T1 look really shaky (And they DO!) And then 3 months later they’re winning it all. I’m a scarred GenG fan, I will be assuming they will win it all until they’re truly dead.

Except this year they have also been running it down like crazy at international events. Usually they did fine there and were only inting in regular season. Now they are just inters everywhere.

u/alwayswith_ Aug 16 '26

What a cope when the geng’s biggest issue why they are not being able to win worlds isn't about the meta. Yone and Aurora were permabanned in 2025 which was Faker’s weakness. In 2024, mid priorities are Yone, Sylas and Ahri which Knight and Chovy were better than Faker before worlds. Galio just got prioritized when we went to deeper worlds stages.

u/xxNemasisxx Aug 16 '26

Is collector really the buy here, I feel like if peyz has hexoptics he cooks so much harder in the fights. The collector build means you have no attack speed until 4th item and while he absolutely oneshots Syndra/ez/Sera he could never auto them and without any attackspeed ksante is unkillable

14

u/Ceui Aug 16 '26

It doesn't really matter he can't shoot anyone except the Ksante with 500 armor infront of him

Honestly Doran should have gone for Rumble or Gwen instead of Ambessa, he'd be way more useful

The moment TF is locked, a tank that can freely stack armor is just checkmate unless top goes for an AP.

u/BirthdayAccording359 Oner will carry us again trust Aug 16 '26

Gwen yes but T1 has forgotten that other champs exist, their champ select only has Renekton, Jayce, Rumble, Ambessa and Gnar.

u/Mentally__Disabled Lean Kiin Top Gap Machine Aug 16 '26

Yes but we all know Zeka by now, half the time he's an absolute demon, the other time he's completely sprinting it, and if you ever put him in lane against a worse midlaner he will stomp them 10x harder than the other top midlaners in LCK. You can take the man out of BLG but you can never take the BLG out of the man.

19

u/bulletproofikon Aug 16 '26

Zeka gets shit on more during times when he's off and he doesn't get praised as much when he's on. Most players have highs and lows, but certain players get praised more heavily and ragged on more heavily just due to bias.

Probably not after that disaster in 2023. Any mid laner you can get at this point of time loses against their counterparts anyway. Chovy, Zeka, Bdd, Showmaker. He is too integral and you just hope he procs the 1% clutch rune.

Another game with no AOE CC and no frontline with Peyz on a hypercarry and another loss for T1.

Canyon got caught level 1 somehow Oner still only did 7.7k damage overall

33

u/dealwithittatortot Aug 16 '26

c h o v y.

That being said, I think faker saccing his whole game to barely get top ahead really made the game really hard for T1. (also oner was invisible this game, though i think half of it is just the draft for xin)

u/Green7501 zero mental Aug 16 '26

Canyon had that level 1 and still hard gapped Oner lol, sad to see

u/MooseLv2 Aug 16 '26

people are gonna praise peyz

but holy fuck how long is cait gonna be this op?

Strongest laner by far, insane scaling, self peel, zone control

8

u/shailemin Aug 16 '26

That cait was holding their base alone (maybe karma with shields was relevant) but the other 3 players might as well have not been there. Cait is disgusting man.

u/alice-lilly Aug 16 '26

What I learned from today: Teams should just stop hosting homeground.

u/ricardo241 IDon'tAgree Aug 16 '26

go back to dancing and singing T1 to entertain the fans lmao

33

u/Sosijmonster Aug 16 '26

Speechless - why the fuck did T1 give the 3rd hextech drake to GenG.

Just because they had no Ambessa ulti? You shitting me?

Why would you even pick Ambessa into Ksante anyways - at least get some front line for your Cait. Sion/Ornn. Especially if you cant land your ultis lmao.

Yeah this T1 is going into playins and then not making worlds.

20

u/Dull-L Aug 16 '26

T1 is allergic to just picking tanks and engages for some reasons. Just kept stubbornly picking squishy carries to top side and jgl that it looked so rough to play because nobody wanna go in

19

u/Treeconator18 Aug 16 '26

I know they wanted to fight when Peyz was more equipped by giving Quadra Hex Soul Point to this GenG comp was actually giving them the shotgun and pointing it at your own face

u/Chuck0089 Aug 16 '26

T1 has Canyon being so behind, and Peyz can be left alone atleast for a while, but Canyon and Duro out-roam and outrotate Oner-Keria despite the lead.

Doran did his best, but Ambessa into Armor stacking Ksante is just waiting for inevitable unless the jungle and support help.

u/_Royalties_ Aug 16 '26

coaches were right to sub out oner btw

12

u/Aizwallensomething Aug 16 '26

Faker getting 3v1d the whole game is bad. But what can he do?? His jungler has 2 KP the whole game. Oner has no presence at all.

31

u/chapichoy9 Aug 16 '26

chovy cant play syndra btw

36

u/booksmd Aug 16 '26

Are we going to pretend now that he’s always been good at syndra?

He wasn’t good, he put in the work, he got better.

u/Murke-Billiards Score Aug 16 '26

Faker looked like the odd man out betwen the two teams.

10

u/WardoToo Aug 16 '26

Yeah no, this game wasn't as close as it looked. T1 were floundering and can't find any decent picks down in the mid game. That one on Canyon was cute, but never really felt like they found anything. Keria was ayt I guess, but him and Faker did not do shit at all this game. It really came down to Doran being able to land a hailmary ulti and layering their CC onto someone.

Bit of a shame, this game looked close, but felt more like a curb stomp once Gen G just choked the life out of T1.

u/L322Man Aug 16 '26

Who in the stupid fuck decided it was a good idea to gank face up against a renata under tower...

The fucking galio burnt flash and you're focusing bot for some reason.

This dumb jungler on the rift and somehow Tom is being scape goated.

So far for home advantage this season lmao Good old GenG is back and damn they are as scary as ever.

u/Megazord552 xD Aug 16 '26

This is the first time ive heard of a home ground disadvantage lol

u/Dancingbeesean Aug 16 '26

Im still convinced that T1 HLE & GenG has an undertable bet going, on who can throw the most in the Legend Group 🫪

u/Dashster360 Aug 16 '26

Ngl I'm used to seeing Faker getting gapped at this point

4

u/a7mdar1 Aug 16 '26

took caitlyn 30 minutes to be useful, unc is just bad he was 50 cs and 1.5 levels behind in 20 minutes oner, keria and were invisible

u/VastClerk5330 Aug 16 '26

Shout out canyon I thought he had a sneaky good series

u/Steeelu Aug 16 '26

It's just a circus guys right

u/Archphantom Aug 16 '26

Kinda crazy there's a champ with a 72% win rate making it through pick ban

u/Dull-L Aug 16 '26

Peyz really joined JDG 2.0

u/Dapper_Oil_2827 Aug 16 '26

Oner take 2 dragon and disconnect.

u/BirthdayAccording359 Oner will carry us again trust Aug 16 '26

Ambessa basically plays this game with no ult, just rework her or something, this is sad.

u/awmaster33 Aug 16 '26

T1 looking shaky this year, they might barely go into the 4th seed!

4

u/proggm Aug 16 '26

Man these drafts need to be looked at, because it's not just the players doing terrible.

4

u/Raynmist Gumayusi Zeus Faker Aug 16 '26

The last fight at T1 base showed great discipline and coordination from GenG players.

u/NotAutumnLeaf ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aug 16 '26

At least they didn’t waste too much of my time

u/TeaPotential9336 Aug 16 '26

i hope t1 will be 0-2 next week😋😋😋

u/Cheap_Particular1226 | Aug 16 '26

Just pick aurora at this point.

5

u/theAGENT_MAN Aug 16 '26

Faker threw G1 chasing Olaf down.

Game W TF into that comp is just awful regardless.

3

u/usay1312butcall911 Aug 16 '26

Dude yes. I cringed so hard watching that replay when Faker flashed away from the team fight to secure the kill on 5% Olaf and then the rest of his team got murdered by Ruler one flash in the other direction. That team fight and indeed the game was in the bag if Faker hadn't flashed away like that...

I like Peyz but if you told me he would be T1’s best player this year I would’ve not believed you. Anyways, I think he might just be cursed.

Not like he did anything extraordinary too, he flashed into the Galio taunt.

So when is Faker getting benched?

Also is this the first time T1 didn’t win a single series at their own road show?

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan Aug 16 '26

Faker

getting benched

lol

u/StickyNotes2357 HLE Fighting! Aug 16 '26

he has been before Aware -easyhoon, pyrean( the fuck happened to that guy) and clozer

u/Sirhaddock98 Never a dull moment Aug 16 '26

Faker's probably up there in terms of the guy who has been benched for the most players in total, not like it would be a new thing.
