For those who regularly watch Faker from the stage when he debuted, as well as later became the Goat of League of Legends, it is no wonder a parameter used to be the brand of the legendary SKT T1/T1. Specifically, Faker was famous as “St. Nerf General” and in the past, Faker often had extremely “strange” choices despite “nailing” the middle position right from the early days of his career. Specifically, Faker used to bring Master Yi, Lee Sin or like Nidalee in the middle. For anyone who did not know, Faker's Nidalee was also the general that helped him take his first career and “victim” was Ambition.
The debut and Ambition match is also the first to defeat the Faker's career
But after a period of career crisis, since the consecutive failures in international tournaments, the highest is Worlds, Faker, no longer have such “general tests”. With an increasing age and age, Faker is also aware that now, he needs to play for his teammates before the team plays for Faker. In the past, around him were the top superstars such as Impact, Bengi or Poohmandu, Marin … But today, around him are young teammates. T1 now, anyone can test the general but Faker will only fix around many familiar generals such as Azir, Orianna, or a little more mutation, Neeko, Hwei.
Recently, Faker's champion has been narrowed quite a lot with Orianna as the “closest” general
At the LCK Spring 2024, while the juniors competed to test new generals, especially Keria, Faker was the T1 player with the narrowest general. In particular, Faker only uses 7 generals, and Orianna is the name that is brought to play the most (10 times). If you ignore the Gumayusi – Keria pair, Oner is the player using the second few generals after Faker, but still get 8 names. And only Rell is the only general used oner over 5 times.
Faker also has only 7 generals in the LCK group group stage 2024 to the present
However, for LCK audiences, this parameter is still acceptable. The 7 generals will also force competitors to study Faker carefully, because there are only 5 banned and sometimes, Keria or Zeus, Gumayusi or even ONER is the main “detonator” of T1. Not to mention, the role of Faker currently is mostly creating play for T1. Therefore, just 1, 2 non -banned generals are enough to help Faker make a story.
But the role of Faker in T1 is different from the young Britain, so this parameter is acceptable
T1 is preparing to enter the final matches of the Spring LCK group stage 2024. This will be the stage when the players have more testing and most likely, Faker will also have some other mutant options to prepare psychologically and skilled for the upcoming period.
