It can be said that it was not the match against Gen.G on the day of the LCK LCK in 2024, but the match against Nongshim Redforce really made the LCK audience, especially the T1 fans “heart -hearted”. Because, in this match, T1 sometimes made people feel they could completely lose. However, after all, the superstar moments shine at the right time, and the game still shows the fullness compared to NS, T1 still won the day Faker marked the 900th game in his own career at LCK.

However, also on the day marking a new milestone in his career, Faker had a very excellent performance with the general Hwei. Perhaps everyone knows, Hwei is a newly launched general of Riot, and up to now, it can be said to be quite successful. Considering in the mid lane of LCK Spring 2024, Hwei appeared in 8 games, won 6 and reached the win rate of up to 75%. In particular, Faker and Bulldog of Kwangdong Freecs are the two players using Hwei the most but only Faker has a 100% win rate with this general (2 matches).
Faker impressed when using Hwei in 2 games of T1 before NS
In particular, Faker also set a remarkable record for General Hwei. Accordingly, Hwei officially became the second general with the most defeated life in a game throughout Faker's career, including international tournaments. The first general, also the name that brought Faker to light – Zed, in the match between SKT T1 and KT Rolster on March 2, 2017.
Hwei is also the second general that Faker has 12 or more defeated networks throughout his career
If you feel that 12 defeated lives seem low, this is Faker's parameters in a professional environment. Perhaps everyone understands, here, the players play very focused and it will be difficult for the two parties to fight with each other. Not to mention, it used to have a long time, the general meta of the professional League of Legends is a slow fighting style, only fighting a few total force from the middle and the end of the game. Not to mention, sometimes the defeated network must yield to other positions such as the upper lane, forest and especially the gunner.
Faker asserts that he is the best Hwei player today
In addition, in the interview after the match, Faker also had a “very crowing” but everyone had to agree: “I personally think, I am the best Hwei player today”. Indeed, the performance with Hwei of Faker recently had an impressive match against NS. This is also the 76th general in League of Legends used by the “Demon King” used in a professional match at LCK.

It is likely that in the near future, Faker will use Hwei more, when this general has shown the impressive power in the hands of the T1 captain. Of course, it depends on the tactics of T1 as well as the opponent on the other side. And the opponent will also be able to take a “banned Auto” for the artist general whenever T1 clash in the near future.
