Once again, T1 continued his victory and maintained the unbeaten achievement after losing to Gen.G on the day of the LCK Spring Army 2024. Their opponent, KT Rolster and the “Telecommunications War” returned to the usual rule after the KT reformed the strong squad and no longer threatened T1 as the LCK period in 2023. In particular, Faker once again shone and brought himself 100 points POG, continuing to lead the best player rankings in the group stage of this spring.
T1 continues to be unbeaten after victory over KT
But the influence of Faker is not merely showing that the general he is using or to help the team win, but he himself also uses the general he is using to “create” for the generals of his teammates to have the opportunity to shine. At the same time, taking advantage of the general's skill set in the hands of his teammates (even opponents) to perform their skill combo in the smoothest way. And it was the match against KT that it was the most obvious evidence for the ability to understand the League of Legends generals of Faker.
Faker won the POG score but his performance in the match through the knowledge of the new League of Legends is really noticeable
Specifically, two situations in the match, Faker cleverly took advantage, the first is the skill of Azir in BDD's hands to perform the command combo: sound waves of Orianna. In the situation of fighting in the river area near Baron cave, Faker put the ball in Azir's sand soldiers, making Pyosik, Deft and Beryl become “victims”. Even Deft and Beryl moved closer to Pyosik because the two players did not see Faker's ball.

After that, it was the situation in the main house of KT. At this time, Faker continued to take advantage of Smold's ultimate in Gumayusi's hands. As soon as the effect of this skill has just rushed, Faker also “fled the boat” for Orianna's sphere. As a result, BDD became a “victim” for Faker's combo.

Obviously, Faker not only understands the generals he is using, but he himself also belongs to the effects from the skills used by other generals. If Azir is also a Faker's champion, then Smolder is a completely new champion. Many people even asserted: “Faker always understands all League of Legends generals as if he was the one who created them. That's why Faker will forever be the Goat of League of Legends.”
“He always knows what these generals can bring him. That's why he will forever be Goat”
Faker himself once acknowledged that he would always carefully study each Patch Note, read and understand each editing of the generals, each item equipped for each version to grasp first about the strengths and weaknesses of these factors. The typical example is when the Hwei general has just launched, the community was somewhat worried when the general was revealed to have a diverse skill set. But Faker himself analyzed how each of Hwei's tricks were related to the generals who have participated in League of Legends.

Asymptotic in the age of 28, Faker is still shining in the professional arena. And he also showed an attempt to learn constantly even though at the present time, Faker was completely satisfied with his career. And perhaps that factor has made Faker maintain the performance and contribute greatly to the diverse play of T1.
