However, in 2025, the team is truly showing very good performances.

Recent head to head: T1 Team edging it
This will be their first encounter on the international stage, as they’ve never faced each other before.
Players to watch: Gumayusi and Doggo
If you’re planning to make LoL betting picks, be sure to keep an eye on Gumayusi and Doggo. These bot laners play a crucial role in their teams’ strategies and often decide the outcome of matches. Plus, it’s always enjoyable to watch the bot lane in action.
Gumayusi is a very experienced and confident player. He understands lane dynamics well, chooses safe and advantageous positions, and consistently deals high damage. His extensive experience on the big stage allows his team to rely on him in the most tense and decisive moments.
Doggo is also a key part of his team. Much of their strategy is built around him, giving him the space and resources he needs. His ability to make the most of that advantage helps secure important fights and often determines the outcome of the game.
Predicted result of the match
Here we are at the end of our analysis for the Mid-Season Invitational 2025, so it’s time to sum things up and choose a prediction for this match. Every team at the tournament has rightfully earned its spot, but the level of play between regions can differ quite a lot.
My LoL betting prediction: a win for T1.
By all metrics, T1 look stronger and are clear favorites in this Mid-Season Invitational 2025 matchup — both in terms of team play and individual player skill. This clearly shows just how slim CTBC Flying Oyster’s chances are. In their own region, CTBC Flying Oyster are starting to gain momentum and push toward consistent top finishes, but their level of play is still not on par with T1.
