Why is SKT not in form? ——In-depth analysis of the reasons for the recent downturn

Recently, one of the hottest topics in the League of Legends e-sports circle is the sluggish state of the legendary team SKT (now T1). As a Triple Crown team, SKT's performance in the past 10 days was far below expectations, triggering extensive discussions among fans and experts. This article will explore the possible reasons for SKT's decline through structured data analysis.

1. Comparison of recent game data

It can be seen from the data that SKT not only has a lower winning rate in recent games, but also has a significantly lower average number of kills per game, which directly reflects the decrease in their suppression power in the game.

2. Possible cause analysis

1.Version adaptation issues: The current version 13.9 emphasizes early rhythm and map resource control, while SKT’s traditional play style is more focused on late-stage operations. Data shows that SKT's economic difference 15 minutes ago was -500, ranking third from the bottom among all LCK teams.

2.Player status fluctuations: The KDA of core player Faker dropped from 5.2 in the spring split to 4.1, and the average number of deaths per game of other players also increased. The table below shows the status comparison of the main players:

3.Single tactical system: According to statistics from professional data websites, SKT has chosen a total of 12 different heroes in the past 10 games, while its opponent Gen.G has used 18 heroes. This limitation of the hero pool makes SKT easy to target.

3. Views of experts and fans

1.Comments from former professional players: "SKT's problem is that they rely too much on Faker's command. When the opponent targets the mid lane, the entire team loses its rhythm." - Former LCK player CloudTemplar

2.Fan forum hot discussion: On Reddit and the Korean DC forum, there have been more than 5,000 discussion posts about SKT's status. 60% of fans believe that the tactical system needs to be adjusted, and 25% believe that players need to be rotated.

4. Future Outlook

Although SKT is currently in poor form, historical data shows that they can often adjust before major events. The coaching staff stated that they are conducting special training for the version and are expected to perform better in the upcoming MSI mid-season.

The following table shows SKT’s rebound data after the trough over the years:

Generally speaking, SKT's current decline is the result of multiple factors, but as one of the most successful teams in the history of e-sports, they have rich experience in adjustment. Fans can look forward to them regaining their form and reappearing as kings in the next games.
