T1 is on a roll after finally breaking Gen.G’s lengthy winning streak and it doesn’t look to be slowing down, but KT Rolster’s performance in the Road to MSI may make some wonder if it has upset potential against T1.

T1 showed shaky gameplay in the LCK after the 2025 LCK Cup, primarily thanks to its failure to defeat Gen.G. That changed in this current LCK split’s first week, and now T1 is looking like the team to beat. KT Rolster is next to take on T1, but does KT have any chance of success?
Betting tip: KT Rolster’s unreliable showings suggests T1 may comfortably go through KT without losing a single game.
KT Rolster demonstrated impressive play by qualifying for the 2025 Road to MSI and advancing to its fourth round. That placement seems almost like a fluke now after reviewing the team’s performances against NS RedForce and HLE. KT won with a score of 2-0 against NS but its performance left much to be desired, since a better team would have taken advantage of the holes in KT’s play across the map. Just two days later, that was proven correct when HLE absolutely destroyed KT.
KT jungler Cuzz is a good player who makes his presence known even when losing games. KT’s primary problem is the lack of carry potential in its top and ADC players. PerfecT and deokdam often struggle to snowball into strong forces even when they win their respective lanes, making team fights and the mid-to-late game tougher. Bdd is a good mid-laner, but he tends to get nervous when facing a better player, which is what happened against HLE’s Zeka.
T1 has been on a gradual rise ever since this year’s 2025 LCK Cup. The team struggled in the first LCK rounds before completing the Road to MSI and reaching the 2025 Mid-Season Invitational grand final. While T1’s performance saw a bump in the 2025 Esports World Cup with its semifinals loss to LPL team AL, defeating Gen.G at the start of this LCK’s third round was the best way the team could prove that it still means business.
T1 seems to have adjusted its strategy. The team previously committed to playing around its top laner Doran, and that originally worked thanks to how well-adjusted Oner and Faker were to top lane carry Zeus. The recent match against Gen.G saw the team play around Gumayusi through the bottom lane instead. This ensured the ADC could utilize his impressive skills to thrive on hyper carry champions like Aphelios. With Keria being one of the best professional support players on the planet, T1 sticking to this tactic could make it even more of a danger than it already is.

KT Rolster may have defeated most of the league’s top teams at least once in the 2025 LCK’s first two rounds, but the team’s performance is shaky and tends to waver in high-pressure situations. For example, deokdam and HLE’s Viper were initially at a stalemate in KT’s most recent match, until Peter decided to feed into Viper for seemingly no reason, giving him the gold advantage needed to sweep through KT. Gumayusi is a more experienced bot laner, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he took advantage of these sorts of missteps on behalf of T1.
