1
They've taken down BLG!
2
They've taken down LNG!
3
It is not LPL vs. LCK!
4
It is T1 vs. the LPL!
5
And they like those odds as they move to finals!
6
13 best of fives at Worlds.
7
13 losses.
8
China has been competing against T1 for the last 13 years.
9
They've had super teams, they've invested in facilities, in time and effort, but time after time, one team stands in the way. But why?
10
Baker looking for that, flank will seal away the quickness from, on gets the charm, flashes in, binds to, equalizer in the backline as well
11
Oh, as Baker is not of this earth, if there is no one like him not on this earth,
12
T1 take us to Silver's Greats One last time we go to Summoner's Rift, for a little bit more
13
Oh, they go back in, Baker flashes in, and down goes
14
Knight, once again when you need someone
15
When you need anyone to stand up and show just what this game's all about, it's FAKER!
16
T1 are the past, the present, and the future, a new era, the same empire!
17
T1 are your 2024 World Champions!
18
2024 was arguably China's best.
19
A team of five Chinese stars, led by maybe two of the most talented Chinese players of all time.
20
They push T1 to the absolute limit.
21
And still, they lose.
22
Just like 12 other times.
23
Some close, some not so much.
24
But in the end, the same ending.
25
It's important to remember that not all of these series are T1 pulling off the upset against the overwhelming favorite.
26
T1's actually been the favorite against the LPL in most of their matchups at Worlds, especially back in the SKT days,
27
where LPL was much further behind.
28
Then there's the more contested series.
29
To secure T1 that second win and rebuild the T1 dynasty.
30
But is this history of Faker versus the LPL, is it still prevalent today?
31
Are you willing to say that AL should be the favorite?
32
And this is the stuff of nightmares when you look at...
33
Even in these series, analysts and fans understand that
34
Team 1 are more than capable of walking away to victor in the series.
35
There's really only one series in World's Best of Five history where an LPL team was a significant favorite and still lost.
36
So perhaps the 0 -1 -13 record is a little overstated, but that doesn't stop people from coming up with their own explanations.
37
whether you believe curses are real or not is irrelevant what matters is
38
when the evidence piles on to the point where you start to believe
39
it at this point the cubs were the best team in baseball with every strength you can imagine
40
but still fans
41
and surely the team itself couldn't shake the dark cloud hovering
42
over them although they did finally win the world series
43
it took a long time as the years go on these
44
curses start to take an effect on players in the form of pressure
45
and doubt and even fear
46
and the results can become damaged again the highest peaks of
47
the lpl are merely stepping stones for the unkillable demon king faker
48
and t1 have set the stage for the world finals telecom war
49
and you can never discounted sports how styles make fights in
50
league of legends the modern stronger lpl teams have developed a style the problem for lbl teams is
51
that t1 is the perfect counter to those strengths what t1 does here really well is
52
when they see this TP behind them, they just instantly go forward.
53
They know that this TP, like Flandre will never actually be able to connect to fight here, and they just instantly answer.
54
They TP here themselves, and they just instantly go forward.
55
And even though Bard ult is good at counterplaying the Vylt, it still doesn't really do anything in this situation,
56
because Flandre is essentially not part of the fight at all.
57
T1's focus on mechanical prowess, aggression, and fearlessness often catches LPL teams off guard in a way other LCK teams cannot.
58
Even this teamfight, which T1 loses at MSI, demonstrates this purpose.
59
This unpredictability helps T1 in desperate scenarios at worlds where one mistake, or one correct decision, could mean everything.
60
So T1 mirrors LBL better than any other LSK team.
61
Sure, but that doesn't explain the 100 % win -loss record.
62
Except there's another gap to consider.
63
They have the best individual players in the world.
64
For example, Nocturne Orianna was a composition that was very popular initially at Worlds at one week one, then absolutely got in week two.
65
Their players are so skilled individually that they can just adapt like this.
66
That's why I think T1 always performs at Worlds because their players are just really good.
67
In 2013, SKT had the best players in the world.
68
In 2015, they did too.
69
And arguably, they still do.
70
Team One's dominance against the LPL is in large part thanks to the fact
71
that all their players in each role can claim to have the best mechanics in that role, which help with their aggressive playstyle.
72
But this is not always the case for the LPL teams.
73
Even the strongest LPL teams often have one
74
or two players on the team that lag behind the rest
75
or are more inconsistent than their t1 counterparts the talent spread in lpl means even the best lpl teams
76
and super teams are never complete super teams the same way zufgk t1 are
77
or gen gr
78
or hle are in the lck this means
79
there's always a point of exploitation for t1 in their matchups versus the lpl come worlds
80
and that last point i think is the most important to mention as well.
81
It's not just T1 anymore.
82
Yes, it's T1 with the perfect best of five record versus the LPL,
83
but other SEK teams are getting better at dealing with the LPL as well.
84
So maybe it's not just T1, maybe the LPL itself is starting to fall behind.
85
And the last possible explanation for why
86
China can't beat T1 or SKTA Worlds...
87
so what does this all mean china's abysmal record against t1
88
and skt before can be easily understood as favorites beating non -favorites it can also be as convoluted
89
and unexplainable as a curse haunting an entire region
90
and country the reality is t1 will play the lpl many more times in the coming years with the modern world's format.
91
I think chances are the curse will be broken eventually.
92
The only question is will it happen this year
93
or will LPL fans have to wait just as long as Cubs fans did?
94
Let me know in the comments below if you think
95

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
