T1 started the LCK Cup 2025 with a loss against Dplus KIA. Although the scoreline was 1-2, the former looked underwhelming overall, and the players couldn't perform at their best. Doran, the newly appointed Toplaner, faced significant challenges during his third game with Jax, where his counterpart, Siwoo, outperformed him.

For T1, securing victories in the upcoming matches is imperative. The team finds itself in a precarious position, as the regulations indicate that it can placed at the bottom of the losing group. To gain advantages during early to mid-game, the Top Jungle partnership of Doran and Oner must significantly enhance their performance.

Conversely, DRX won in its initial match against BRION despite the absence of the primary ADC, Teddy. The Vietnamese talent LazyFeel took his place and delivered an outstanding performance during the series.

Nevertheless, Teddy is anticipated to return for the upcoming match against T1, which implies that DRX will be significantly more formidable than before. Ultimately, the T1 vs DRX matchup promises to be intriguing, as it will provide fans with greater insight into how both teams approach the beginning of the season.

Prediction: T1 is expected to win the series 2-0.
