T1 may have started its Worlds journey in the play-in, but the squad has proven itself undaunted and dominated in the Swiss stage’s first round. Similarly, CTBC Flying Oyster dominated Fnatic, propelling it to the second round’s high bracket. Now T1 and CFO will duke it out, but the best-of-one match’s winner may be harder to predict than some would think.

T1 vs CFO match analysis
T1 may have barely made it to 2025 Worlds, but the team’s performance in the play-in and Swiss stage’s first stage was impressive. Doran is still a hit-or-miss player, but Oner and Faker playing more around Gumayusi has resulted in the ADC being able to better carry. But T1’s unreliable top laner still can’t be ignored, and that may be what gives CFO a fighting chance.
As seen against Fnatic, CFO’s Driver has high carry potential, especially when he gets Sion. CFO has already showcased great skill in its domestic matches, with Doggo being an excellent ADC. HongQ has successfully played against Faker before in the mid lane, and while Oner is more reliable than JunJia when it comes to acquiring objectives from the jungle, it’s realistic for CFO to walk away from this match as the victor. And the team being the underdog, siding with CFO could pay out a sizable return.

T1’s primary strength lies in its early game, which is why there’s a good chance the team may get first blood. There’s a high chance that Doran will have more than five deaths, looking at the player’s recent performance against strong teams, making it a potentially good idea to the the over on the 3.5 deaths line. Both teams are fairly strong, and the match could see the Elder Dragon spawn, which is why picking the total dragons slain to be over 4.5 is another potential high-return bet.

T1 vs CFO betting picks & predictions
While T1 showcased excellent gameplay against FlyQuest, the LTA team didn’t put up much resistance. By contrast, CFO’s performance in the first round was nothing short of impressive. While T1 is fairly strong at adapting to the enemy and coming back in longer matches, CFO may have an advantage here in this best-of-one.
Best picks
- CFO to win @ 3.50: With the match being a best-of-one, there’s a good chance that CFO may surprise the 2024 Worlds winner.
- T1 to get first blood @ 1.68: T1’s early game is usually strong and calculated, which may help the team secure first blood.
- Total kills to be under 24.5 @ 3.30: While the match is likely to go long, there’s a good chance that much of that duration will be spent farming and establishing map control rather than fighting in tight quarters and trading kills.
