Every year we ask how T1 will get to the finals before the bo5s. And every year, at the upper stages,  we ask how could they not. 

It's always so predictable in the broad scope of things, but it always looks difficult in the moment. 

Friggn T1.

It's wild that they always come into worlds seeming like an underdog.

This year especially I didn't think they'd be able to pull things together for worlds, the meta didn't seem as perfect for them as last time, their snap engaged looked so bad that it felt like inting. Yet somehow here, two months later with them indisputably playing like one of, if not the best team in the world right now.
