When discussing critical moments in the world of esports related to League of Legends, few players match the quick thinking and decisive actions of Keria, the standout support player for T1. His ability to make impactful plays has been fundamental to T1’s achievements on the international stage, consistently influencing teamfights with innovative positioning and daring tactics that many would shy away from.

A Stunning Play at Worlds 2025

At the 2025 World Championship, Keria showcased a remarkable play that captivated the League audience. During the semifinals against Top Esports, he executed an extraordinary move while playing as Neeko, managing to capture the enemy AD carry, Jackeylove, for an effortless elimination.

Utilizing Neeko’s passive ability, Inherent Glamour, Keria transformed into a smaller version of a Murk Wolf, hiding undetected in the enemy’s jungle. He covertly observed the opponents as they rotated down toward the bottom lane, navigating past turret defenses and taking only one hit without disrupting his disguise.

A Masterful Execution

The disguised wolf strategically placed a control ward in a nearby bush and employed his Shapesplitter ability to deploy a clone in the area. While the foes spent a moment defeating the decoy wolf, Keria ambushed from the red buff area, executing his Pop Blossom ultimate on both Jackeylove and the opposing jungler. Crucially, despite taking a turret shot while maneuvering through the enemy territory, his position remained hidden, a key factor in the success of this high-pressure play.

As one of the tournament’s top-tier support players, Keria frequently has champions like Bard and Rakan banned against him. Consequently, Neeko has become his most favored choice at Worlds 2025, boasting an impressive win rate of 75%, according to statistics from DPM.lol.

Neeko underwent a significant rework in Patch 13.9, which enabled her to shapeshift into jungle creatures, minions, wards, and other allied units. This update has unleashed a plethora of creative tactics, allowing players to spring surprises on their adversaries using unexpected forms. Recently, some Neeko players have even disguised themselves as cannon minions during dives to absorb turret damage. This innovation has sparked vibrant discussions within the community regarding the extent of her deceptive capabilities.

Keria and T1 are set to face KT Rolster in the championship match of Worlds 2025 on November 9.
