Furious T1 Fans Park “Doran Out” Truck Outside The Team’s HQ
T1 esports fans have staged a protest outside the organization’s Seoul headquarters, demanding the dismissal of League of Legends toplaner Choi ‘Doran’ Hyeon-joon following the team’s shock elimination from the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI). The protest truck, bearing a “Doran Out” message, appeared after T1’s defeat to G2 Esports in what became the most-watched League of Legends match of the year. G2’s success was largely attributed to an exceptional performance from toplaner Sergen ‘BrokenBlade’ Çelik, who significantly outperformed his T1 counterpart in the critical matchup. This loss carries particular historical weight: it marks the first time T1 has ever failed to advance to the top four at an international tournament they qualified for. The intensity of the fan response reflects T1’s extraordinary legacy as one of esports’ most dominant organizations. The team has claimed six League of Legends World Championships, including three consecutive titles, establishing a standard of excellence that created sky-high expectations for MSI. The public demonstration underscores both the immense competitive pressure within professional League of Legends and the passionate, often demanding nature of T1’s fanbase in South Korea.
