The match between T1 – Bilibili Gaming is the focal match of the second round under the MSI 2024 group stage. BLG shows how comprehensive they are and the destruction of T1 is the most obvious evidence. It can be said that, throughout 3 games, BLG strictly controlled the match right from the ban. Meanwhile, T1 only shows the ability to be selected for the generals that suits them and Faker himself is not “caught”.
Faker has made great efforts but cannot bring victory for T1
But it is worth mentioning, it is the image of Faker after the match that probably made even the hardest fans to overcome the failure. He sat quietly in the waiting room, with his eyes glowing sad and confused. Faker also bit his lip as if to control his emotions before standing up to join the army with his teammates. The clip was cut only about 6 seconds but attracted thousands of interactions. Most of them are empathy and cheer for Faker as well as T1 because they still have the opportunity to lose.
The clip is only 6 seconds but makes everyone feel sorry for Faker
The audience sent a encouragement to Faker and T1
– “If you lose, it's okay, everything always happens. Everyone expects both teams and they have shown well but still have to have a loss team. Good luck next time (from BLG fans)”
– “That's sporty. You play better and we need to improve many things. Good luck in the next match”
– “He will come back. Everything is fine even though he has very bad days. And Faker is just a human. He has finished to become the best player and surely Faker will return stronger.”
In fact, BLG seemed to grasp the key of the strength of T1, which is in Faker. It was not surprising that they spent a lot of banned from the mid -line tank in the middle of the T1 house, and added a general used by Knight, that is, Faker lost 6 options that could help T1 operate the gameplay. And no matter how tried to show it, it is clear that being “poured” into the hands of inefficient generals like Veigar or Akali in an inappropriate game also makes Faker unable to do anything for his teammates.
On average, when people fight Faker
Faker's bewildered and blank image is probably worse than the failure for T1 fans. But this is a normal human emotion, especially when Faker tried his best but he could not bring victory to the team. But Faker himself probably understood that: He is a support for the whole team and need to regain his spirit soon because the opportunity for T1 has not ended and the team's journey is simply a little longer.
