I get it has good firepower but what makes them better than gen.g or drx? genuine question I didn’t watch them in the offseason

These aren't bad teams by any means; they're beating some of the best from every other region

no one here is even remotely good besides G2 but it was a meaningless bo1 so it doesnt count

a team with b0n is not winning shit either, a team with stax and buzz is way more likely to

I really don't mean to throw shade when I say this, but isn't this a little bit invalidated by EDG clearly not sending out their best, and them beating G2 in a bo1? Clearly T1 are strong, but there are still valid questions about their strength.

EDG might not have been at their full potential this offseason and the G2 game might have been close, but FUT is a top contender in EMEA and T1 beat them 3-1 on aggregate, C9 was at their peak at this time having beaten FNC and TH and demolished G2 2-0 in the past two days, and ZETA/RRQ/TE are all very very solid teams with a ton of potential
Hades_Loves_Rb [#18]Duelist: Texture>Buzz>>>Hyumin
Flex: Munchkin>=Stax>>>Athan
Initiator: Izu>Yoman>>Freeing
Smokes: Mako>=Karon>>Sylvan
Sentinel:Meteor>Flashback>>Foxy9
Igl:Munchkin>=Stax>>FreeingIMO GenG>=T1>>>>DRX
PRX clears all 3
Freeing as an initiator is severely underrated. And if you are saying karon is equal worse to mako, then flashback is equal worse to meteor.

Meteor was in contention for best player in pacific and top 5 itw
Flashback wasn’t even the best player on his team (debatably not even the 2nd best) and debatable not even top 5 in pacific let alone the world

Holy cope. Flashback truly diffed both mako and buzz in the short time he played on drx for in 2023. You are clearly looking at drx with a negative bias.
catNmouse [#2]meteor, proven igl in stax and a proven duelist in buzz, izu has been insane in the off season and sylvan had his moments too
"proven igl in stax" yeah proven to be bad
uwukitten [#22]"proven igl in stax" yeah proven to be bad
still better than every other pacific IGL except for munchkin

proven to make top 4-6 in Masters/Champs. T1 never make playoffs, it's guarantee improvement.

Thai 0 achievements since 2020 garbage country. Highest peak is 8th place lmao. Yall seriously gotta worry about ur own shit future
We'll see but I'm predicting them to lose to PRX in the upper round and either GenG/DRX in the lower round. I think the #1 reason people are expecting them to do well is because of Meteor. He was one of the best players in the world last year. But I just don't have faith in the coaching team and while Stax/Buzz are both good players they have a ceiling.
