T1 set up a special “achievement” but may not be completely “thanks to faker” as usual
There are many things to discuss the match between T1 and Gen.G, from professional factors to side issues. But of course, it is impossible not to mention the “extremely terrible” view that the second match of the two teams at the Regular Seasons 2025 has brought to LCK. Specifically, the match between T1 and Gen.G has reached the highest amount of view up to more than 1.5 million, excluding the platforms from China.
Battle T1 – Gen.G made a very high view achievement, nearly 3 times the total view of HLE – Gen.G.
But perhaps, this time, Faker is only part of the reason why T1 – Gen.G matches such attention. Of course, the next factor is the professional factor when these are the two Top Team teams of LCK and have a history of debt confrontation. But another main factor is: T1's drama and Gumayusi's performance
Of course Faker is still one of the reasons.
It is undeniable that the controversy from the LCK Cup 2025 related to T1's personnel makes each match of this team pay more attention. Not to mention, this is also the first big opponent that Gumayusi was confronted after the long period of reserve. Everyone wants to wait for this gunner's performance to be able to predict his future in the rest of the season.
But it is impossible not to mention the drama last time of T1.
Faker is still hot, but it is T1 there are other factors that attract the attention of the League of Legends community
In fact, attracting attention by controversial factors, not rare and this way is quite offensive. But undeniably, these dramas dragged a mutant attention to the remaining matches of T1. Perhaps for a long time, a new match of T1 attracted an almost only reason from Faker.
But of course what the audience cares about is still achievement, not the dramas.
Of course, this is also an unsustainable reason. And it is T1 to reconsider because this team cannot continue to attract attention in a negative way like a drama, but what fans are more concerned about, is the achievement of T1 this season.
