In the last T1 Nongshim Redforce match, if you have to find the best player throughout all 3 games on T1, many people will think of Faker immediately. In addition to the two games that are excellent with the Hwei general, Faker also has a game using Karma much more stable than the performance of the junior teammates. Of course, the POG point for Faker after the match is understandable and also helps the “demon king” to continue maintaining the leading position in the POG point list of the players in the LCK group stage this year.
Faker shines in the match T1 won
However, even in the match, although it was just a fleeting moment, there was an action of Faker that were taken by the audience. Specifically, while preparing for the game, Faker softened his arm. This makes many people really worried, especially T1 fans. Because this shows: Faker's injury has not really recovered completely. And perhaps, in the long or too stressful matches, he will feel pain because his right arm moves continuously.
Faker's hand -rubbing action made fans worried
Perhaps everyone knows, Faker was seriously injured in the second leg of the summer LCK 2023. Faker matches had to take a break from witnessing a miserable T1. No longer the image of a very strong team full of confidence, but T1 may even lose even weak teams like Fredit Brion or Drx. The only victory of T1 then was also the victory over Nongshim Redforce but thanks to the show of Gumayusi. Even, there was anxiety T1 will not be able to win the Summer LCK Playoffs 2023.
When Faker was injured last year T1 had a decline
However, after the TKTG 2023 stress, T1 players had to plunge into the “running show” schedule when they were the reigning champion of Worlds. During his time in Germany, Faker also took action to massage his fans who were afraid of his injury to relapse before the new season.
Since Worlds 2023, T1 has to play continuously
Currently, T1 is flying high in the rankings with a series of victory matches. And in theory, they only need to win a few more matches to be enough to play the LCK LCK playoffs in the spring 2024. But T1's journey is still very long and certainly no one wants Faker to “fall” at the decisive period.
