After their epic victory at the League of Legends Worlds 2024, T1 faced a setback when their toplaner, Zeus, left the team in November 2024. However, they quickly signed former Hanwha Life Esports toplaner Doran, who boasts multiple LCK titles.
Lane-swapping remains a significant part of the current League of Legends meta. Since T1 has perfected the art of lane-swapping, they are expected to have an advantage over most teams in 2025. The team thrives on momentum and clutch performances by individual players. With five exceptional talents, including the legendary Faker, they can defeat any team in the world.
