Los Ratones beat T1 at Red Bull League of Its Own 2025 in what fans are calling the most entertaining game of the year. The European streamer squad maintained their perfect record against the three-time world champions at this annual exhibition event with a completely unhinged composition.
The match was pure showmatch chaos from start to finish. Both teams drafted for entertainment over competition. Los Ratones committed to a “poison comp” theme built around damage-over-time and area denial.
Thebausffs piloted his signature full AD lethality Sion in the top lane. His build focused on burst damage rather than tank stats. The strategy involves constant aggressive deaths followed by using Sion’s passive form to create chaos and pressure. He came close to a pentakill during the match.
Crownie played AP Twitch in the support role but functioned as a second carry. The pick is a throwback to the infamous “L9 Twitch” high-elo playstyle popular in European solo queue. He built ability power to maximize poison damage and spray-and-pray burst potential.
Velja took Cassiopeia mid to add more poison damage. Cassiopeia’s sustained damage combined with the rest of the composition to make extended fights miserable for T1.
T1 responded with their own off-meta draft. Faker played Pyke mid instead of his usual control mages. The squishy assassin got repeatedly deleted by Baus’s Sion damage. Keria played off-role. The team swapped positions throughout the event for entertainment value.
Los Ratones scaled well into messy fights. Baus engaged and drew attention while Cassiopeia and AP Twitch melted T1 with sustained damage. T1 couldn’t reliably close out fights despite their mechanical skill on off-role picks.
The atmosphere felt closer to solo queue with comms than a competitive match. High kill counts and chaotic team fights defined the pace from the opening minutes to the final Nexus explosion.
Rekkles provided context after the game. He explained that Los Ratones play their best when they’re having fun. He contrasted the T1 match with an earlier game against Karmine Corp where KC drafted seriously and tried hard. That forced LR into more standard picks and made the game less enjoyable for them.
What this game represents
The match highlighted community appetite for lighter personality-driven events in the off-season. Many viewers compared it favorably to Riot’s old All-Stars tournaments that featured similar chaos and creativity.
Other matches at the event showed different vibes. G2 versus T1 delivered high-level mechanical play. Karmine Corp approached their games more seriously with standard drafts. The contrast made the LR versus T1 match stand out as the purest example of showmatch entertainment.
