T1 Press Conference | MSI 2022 | 2nd Place

[Shangalarx]

When you lose, everything you say sounds like finding excuses.

Kkoma to Faker, 2015

T1 has mastered the best skill of finding excuses.

I like how it got deleted and Korizon esports isn't gonna post it either after posting every other one because Korea lost to China :)

[zzz]

Is Faker turning heel? This is pretty classless from someone historically so humble

[TheSayk]

Things i didn't like from T1 in the interview:

1. Faker didn't give praise to any RNG players when asked which RNG player played the best (he could have easily replied that all of them played really well but no one stood out in particular (as to avoid the question))
2. The coach's response with the blue side thing.

3. The coach avoiding the "why not Zilean" question.

Personally i think T1 could have done better in the Finals and there is certainly a world were T1 wins the Finals, but in the end you are only as good as what you show when it counts most. I think they have great potential and i hope to see them utilize that potential in the future.

21 MSC, LCK lost to LPL with 35ping, fine. 22 MSI, T1 lost to LPL same with 35 ping, ping issue + side diff.
35 ping is not a new thing, LCK brought up MSC with 35ping themselves. Somehow it was acceptable last year and became a huge problem this MSI. Funny.
It looked hilarious that so much chad talks and trash talks ended up with lose and followed by so many excuses, why not just say sth like we underperformed, got lots to improve, or opponents outplayed us. Simple, easy, typical and never goes wrong. At least lose with grace.

Did the coach really say that they lost becasu they couldn't select blue side? omgg man wtf is that excuse like, you really did trash draft when you were on red side, its not like "ok they countered us" is like you didn't even think about they could counterpick. I mena, you don't need 200IQ to understand that after G3 if you blindpick ahri, they'll destroy her with Liss. That Wei is a good player with lee and oner too, that wukong wasn't THAT decissive, that Bin with gwen was really scary and you could ban it, that jayce isn't really as great as in regular season, that jhin isn't a good pick so you could ban other champs and pick kaisa or ezreal instead of it, that yuumi when you need something stronger isn't really good. I mean, the vision problems they had all the regular split, playoffs and even in the MSI. I understand that you can lose some drafts, some games ofc they played well, but those draft diffs and vision problems are there all the fcking time man

Faker: I underperformed (we all know dun worry)
Coach: we lost because we played on red side
Slap on the face and Trash1 is king of... Excuses.

[notEAdemize]

@Coach bolha is there a source with the full interview including original audio?

[thebard]

I like how even when this is the first msi for four of their players and still they won 2 nd while their veteran accepting that he underperformed people are calling them trash1 . Remember this trash1 beat the shit of G2 0-3 and lost 3- 2 to a team with 3 veterans. Yeah really trash aren't they.( Also ignore the fact they are playing with 30 ping with pressure of home crowd against a team who is playing from their homes).
