T1 vs CTBC Flying Oyster in League of Legends MSI 2025 Bracket Stage: Can T1 dominate the series?

T1 qualified for the League of Legends MSI 2025 Bracket Stage as LCK's second seed. However, the journey to its qualification was spectacular, as the team was in a precarious spot during the regional split.

With several disappointing losses and individuals not performing at their best, no one expected T1 to win the two crucial matches in the Road to MSI event. The team obliterated KT Rolster and, arguably, the second-best squad of that time, Hanwha Life Esports, to qualify for MSI.

The primary reason behind T1's recent success has been the Toplaner Doran. While struggling in the early part of the season, he demonstrated great resilience and carried the team to victory against KT and HLE. Furthermore, the Botlane duo of Gumayusi and Keria was also impeccable.

Meanwhile, LCP champion CTBC Flying Oyster asserted its dominance within the regional scene, concluding the Split without a single defeat. With prominent figures such as JunJia and HongQ, among others, the team is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with.

Moreover, predicting the movements of certain underdog teams regarding the LoL meta can be quite challenging. CFO's dynamic champion pool and unorthodox play style have the potential to surprise the most elite teams, even T1, if they are not careful enough.

Prediction: T1 3 - 0 CTBC Flying Oyster
