How T1 Built the Exodia Roster

Рет қаралды 334,374

Күн бұрын

SKT T1 is undoubtedly the greatest organization in League of Legends's history - and we can largely thank Faker (Lee Sang-hyeok 이상혁) for being the rock that T1 needed all those years. However, beginning in 2018, Faker's dynasty began to crumble around him. Even with a supposed superteam in 2019 - it wasn't enough to restore SKT to its former glory. After another unsuccessful 2020 season, T1 was undoubtedly past their prime, but then... they were saved. Not by Faker, not by Kkoma, but by 4 Rookies Who Rebuilt T1's Dynasty stronger than ever before:
T1 Zeus | Choi Woo-je (최우제)
T1 Oner | Mun Hyeon-jun (문현준)
T1 Gumayusi | Lee Min-hyeong (이민형)
T1 Keria | Ryu Min-seok (류민석)

9:53 "Exodia"

Thank you everyone for the overwhelming support on this video :) To avoid any potential copyright issues you'll notice a small section of the video is blurred (1:53-2:04) please understand I'd rather be safe than sorry since T1 protects their IP diligently (as they should!!) PS @T1/Joe Marsh if there are any other copyright concerns with this passion project, I kindly ask you to reach out to me directly before taking any formal action. I've been a lifelong fan of SKT and I'd be happy to resolve any issues collaboratively. Thank you - LoLAthlete :) #T1FIGHTING

Great content!! I enjoyed it. And I would like to say to you about the copyright issues, I think it would be best if you email them about it. They're very strick about their videos getting used without a proper consent. (specifically: You used a stream video: faker ganks guma/ & guma documentary, and those other clips from their videos) Even making/printing pictures from them needs permission before you can use it. So it's not a shock that they strike contents like this without permission from them. I hope you reach out to them, because this is a great video~❤

Tom has been an important factor for worlds, but i don’t think him being a head coach is important, i mean the 3 coaches (kKoma, Tom and Roach, Sky in waiting to enlist to the military) are veeery good, so being a coach or a head coach doesn’t make that much of a difference imo

@@noobtaskmaster9884 A comparison of their track record doesn’t really lead me to the same conclusion… Tom retained his actual role, so he’s still contributing what he was before. Maybe your main point is that he deserves a promotion? But if you watch T1 content (their post-game interviews and the behind-the-scenes content on T1 membership subscription), Tom doesn’t seem to want to be head coach due to all the other out-of-game things that need to be done by the HC. If Tom wanted to be HC and T1 was the one denying the position to him, he could have gone to other teams after their Worlds win, right? The dynamics between him and the T1 players is such that they cater to the players a lot more than Kkoma (the players are basically able to order them to do stuff). Kkoma is able to give more straightforward feedback, keep them in line, and keep them from tilting. The difference in their people skills and their management skills is quite obvious in the vids. When T1 was struggling, Joe Marsh said Faker met with management about bringing back systems from Kkoma’s era as he believed they were more effective.

@KaramelLife 3 ай бұрын

Wasn't Tom who decided to stay as draft coach? Head coach role cannot focus only on draft. From snippets I watched on T1 KZfaq, tom more on comp draft bp & jungle, roach on champ matchup in lane, especially top. Kkoma has experience managing, coaching, guiding, PR-ing, world-winning team(s). You can see the adoration he has for the player & team in post-match interviews. T1 is as much kkoma's home as it is faker's. Also, I think kkoma asked for a coach skin in 2016 since he's coached skt to win worlds 3 times, but riot said he has to win more (5?) Riot compromised and made the SKT kkoma ward. Faker 2024: "the fifth... Is for kkoma's skin" 😅

I think most people who hate faker are new players. I refuse to and it is hard to believe that people who played since season 1-3 can hate him. He doesn't even brag and rarely even trashtalks even in videos where they talk trash to each other in LCK. I don't even know what they hate about him. He had his ups and downs and sure he is not as dominant as he was back in the T1 dynasty especially in the laning phase. Even I think that it is true. But, he definitely gapped or is at least ahead of the competition against any other mid laners he faced at worlds. Sure there is some criticism that he can only play Orianna, Azir and Sylas. But does it really matter? Everyone is picking the same thing anyway. Neeko is always banned, which he also plays. But what about now? Well he's doing pretty great at the spring split so far. Sure they lost again to Gen G, but aside from that he's doing pretty well in lane. He gapped Zeka's corki when they played against each other. Zeka is a very mechanical mid laner with his Akali, Yone, and Sylas, and corki is one of the most op picks at lck right now and he beat him without any possible arguments of faker's performance. He is also doing well with Neeko and his 5 man ults. Sure he is not that "guy" anymore, but he doesn't really need to be the star player of T1 anymore. I think what the roster need in the mid lane is not someone like Chovy who can hard carry or a star player of the team. The other Zeus, Oner, Guma, and Keria are all so good that when given a chance they will carry. IMO what the roster need in the mid lane is a veteran who can act shotcall and facilitate the team and make the others ahead.

This so call veteran in the scene most of them if in any other team can still be considered rookie yet they have so many experience running through all the gauntlet semis and Finals only…. Idk how people still can hate them even if they are 2nd the amount of time they are there… shows something amazing

I hope you continue making content like this. The videos that focus on individuals are interesting, but only if you know or care about those individuals. I think it would be interesting to do a video about the history of vision changes, which some people think is the reason that Korea stopped being quite as dominant. Or something along those lines. People often talk about teams struggling or metas shifting or play styles being punished. but rarely do they tie them together. You seem to have all of those components down and I’d love to see you tackle that sort of content. Keep it up!

I think people underplay how good g2 was that year they beat the SKT superteam (that didn't have the chemistry built cuz it's a superteam, you see this in the nba too). The chemistry of T1 is just ridiculous and I don't think people emphasize enough just how amazing keria is, he makes the rest of the team better. To me he plays league at the highest level I've ever seen and I've watched since s3

Love the vid, but theres a few more things worth mentioning I think. Like Daeny as a coach was a huge thing holding T1 back, the irreparable damage he did to Canna's mental as a player, Zeus's less than stellar initial showings (gnar 1trick accusation), Guma's gigachad speech that he is better than Teddy, Bengi leaving T1, his replacement Tom's S-tier drafting. And maybe some of the trucking incidents

@PushLikesAwrinjes 3 ай бұрын

I will always say it zeus was the most crucial piece. Something about this guy and big series he just pops off

@bluezz7457 25 күн бұрын

True, theres actually a big chance T1 could be back to back to back world champs by now if Zeus played in 2021. T1 was really close to winning the DK semifinals with Canna of all players as their top laner and they had a really good chance vs EDG, especially since they went 1-1 vs them in groups and Faker is the LPL slayer. I dont think Zeus would have choked as hard in 2022 finals with the experience he had in the 2021 if he played.

Right now I wouldn’t say, that they „rebuild“ the Dynasty…they have the chance to start a new one, but need a few more titles to solidify this. This Team is 1-3 in LCK Finals, and has only won one international throphy in 4 attempts, that includes 3 Finals appearances. They certainly look like the best team in the world right now, but to say, that they already are or rebuild a dynasty is a little over the top

16:08 Actually if you heard team comms they told each other to play as normal. Because after beating JDG, wei bo was not going to be difficult for them as long as they didn't make any mistakes. They focused on playing as per normal and not getting too excited or agitated. Keria also said that because they were the only Korean team coming into the semis, any added wins are bonuses and they would not need to feel the heat of any losses because they had already made it further than any other korean team. Furthermore, JDG was already on their golden road and it seemed inevitable for them to win everything. And had Ruler, who took down the T1 dynasty back in 2017.

For me they got their 1st chance to rebuild in 2019 with lineup Khan-Clid-Faker-Teddy-Mata.. They got into semi in both MSI and Worlds that year fell to G2.. The in 2022 where they almost won the Worlds with current lineup..
