In the current T1 composition, it can be considered that all the elements to create a champion are fully converged. They have the youth of Oner, Zeus, Gumayusi, Keria and the experience of Faker. The ability to call teams and macros is unquestionable and has been proven since the past Worlds 2021. In addition, the individual skills and performance of each player are also very good. Typically, the Gumayusi – Keria bot pair is helping T1 destroy the rest of the LCK Spring 2022.

In the perfect picture of T1, it is impossible not to mention Faker’s great contribution. From being a player with a lot of resources on the team, being the main damage, Faker has now changed to being the team’s caller, the team’s playmaker. But not because of that, Faker’s influence decreased or opponents showed no precaution against “Demon King”. Faker himself has also shown his tremendous influence in the past matches of T1, especially against DWG KIA and recently against Hanwha Life Esports.
Faker is an extremely important factor, even the main factor that helps T1 sweep the remaining teams in the current LCK.
In the 3-match game against DK, the LeBlanc in Faker’s hand really made the audience remember his own days when he was still known as “the nerf king”. A virtual LeBlanc, making Renekton – a champion that is considered quite strong in the LCK today in the hands of a very talented mid laner, is ShowMaker. Not to mention, Faker is also considered to be on the other side of the career slope, while the junior opponent on the DK side is reaching maturity. However, Faker still hit the right champion, showing exactly what brought him to the top that seemed to have disappeared over time. At the same time, Faker gives Zeus or Gumayusi time to reach the threshold of strength after the initial difficult period.

If you look at LeBlanc in FATE’s hand at the Kwangdong Freecs match against DK on the afternoon of February 10 (Vietnam time), Faker’s LeBlanc is even more excellent. Although FATE deals massive damage, ShowMaker’s Ryze doesn’t have any trouble increasing his power. And towards the end of the game, FATE’s LeBlanc didn’t have as much of an impact as Faker’s LeBlanc against DK himself.

Then, in a game against HLE, another factor showed that Faker was really the player that all T1 opponents were most afraid of. Specifically, right in this 1-match game, HLE decided to use 4/5 bans for… Faker. Locking part of the power of “Demon King”, plus Zeri “200 years” and other names also hit well, HLE got game 1 in the match against T1. In the decisive game 3, the BLV himself also had to admit that Faker “sacrificed his life to strengthen my life” when he gave up all the farms to Gumayusi even though Faker held Viktor – the general also needed to farm a lot, and would even give up the farm if lying down. in the hands of Chovy or ShowMaker.
HLE bans 5 champions, all 4 of which are “forehand” names Faker

Now it’s still too early to say whether Faker and his teammates can win the LCK Spring 2022 championship or not, but the performance of the whole team, especially Faker’s, is already evident. In the new role, “Demon King” is even more respected by the opponent, more attention. Gumayusi – Keria may be excellent, but the “carriage” T1 can dominate the LCK until now, the first must include their legend – Faker.
