Don’t you want other, new teams to gain some spotlight? Does it not get boring, seeing the same teams stomp almost every single game? I’m thrilled that WBG made it to finals, a relatively new and unknown team against the team which has won many tournaments in the past and I seriously don’t get why people still want T1 to win every game.
First T1 are not the dominant force they were. Still a top team. Why people like them? Well first faker, a constant in an ever changing world. Players had time to get emotionally attached to him and T1 as they have become synonymous.
And in the last two years they have developed a new team, almost entirely from in house, except Keria. So you had a team of young progedies and the og of a game suddenly burst again into top contenders of their region and worlds. In these two years/three years they have barely changed, allowing everyone to get attached. And they have won, won so much in such fun ways. This team has gone from almost perfect team fight, to trolling all game ones, to simple 5 threats in each lane, to basically troll picks. Twitch support? Rumble support? It has been a lot of fun.
And that added to almost winning everything makes people a fan. Personalities in and out of game, good gameplay, longevity. Most others teams don’t have that, and those that do are extremely popular too. (G2 by example)
