Peanut has recently shared insights on the current journey of his former team - T1.
In the LCK, apart from T1, if any team can compete for both domestic and international titles, audiences can immediately think of Gen.G Esports and Dplus KIA. Despite parting ways with the bot lane duo Ruler - Lehends, the reigning LCK Summer 2022 champions are still performing well. However, they have lost both matches against Faker and teammates.
Recently, Peanut - who has represented both Gen.G and T1 - shared reflections on both teams' journey in LCK Spring 2023. Notably, Peanut has provided numerous insights into his former team, especially highlighting T1's innovative playstyle and its influence on the other 9 teams in LCK.
Specifically, Peanut stated: 'For us right now, of course, T1 is the biggest obstacle to defending the LCK championship. Other than us, the remaining 8 teams will have the same response. Everyone desires to defeat T1, but it's exceedingly challenging. They are currently in peak condition, possess the widest champion pool, and their pick-ban phase is also 'unparalleled' in the current LCK.'
Peanut further elaborated: 'I'm not implying their drafts are inadequate. However, there are numerous intricate choices. Yet, in many instances, perhaps only T1 comprehends how to execute properly. It's like they always seize the advantage in their pick-ban phase. Hence, astute drafting and top-tier player skills, everything is commendable.'
Truly, as Peanut shared, T1 has presented numerous options for its lineup. Recently, they effectively utilized Cho'Gath AD in the match against DRX. Cho'Gath, a tank champion considered quite sluggish, only becomes useful thanks to his passive that can make him grow larger. However, T1 used Cho'Gath for Gumayusi and secured victory.
With their innovative and fearless playstyle, T1 is showcasing how formidable they are in Spring 2023. This also sets a good precedent for T1 to reclaim the LCK championship and aim for larger goals, starting with MSI 2023 immediately after the Spring Split concludes.
