Faker Unveils T1’s “Secret Weapon” in Data Collection
Recently, T1 clinched a victory against BNK FearX, securing their spot in the top three of the playoffs for the Road to MSI. This comeback has provided T1 fans with a sense of reassurance after a turbulent start to the current competitive season. Notably, in the second round of the match, the audience witnessed T1’s gameplay reminiscent of their dominant run in the 2022 season, where they achieved an unbeaten streak, daring to experiment with new champions like Smolder and Senna. After the match, Faker even referred to T1’s unique strategies that left fans feeling elated.
According to Faker, he shared insights about T1’s particular champion pool: “When entering major tournaments, we need to prepare various champion picks and different compositions. We have been preparing a lot of champions, and today T1 has gathered the data that we need.”
Faker’s insights indicate that he is quite confident about T1’s ability to adapt, especially with the significant roster changes, including Smash replacing Gumayusi and head coach KkOma’s strategic adjustments. This shift aims to enhance their data collection, leading to this substitution. However, it is worth noting that T1 faced criticism during their poor performances when Smash was still adjusting to his new role. Moreover, T1’s strategy has turned Smash into a focal point for many critical plays.
Faker Confirms T1 is Ready to Tackle Strong Opponents in Upcoming Matches
Faker expressed his regrets about the missed opportunity to secure a victory against Gen.G, stating, “We are currently addressing the shortcomings and enhancing our level to aim for higher stages.”
Currently, it seems that T1 has overcome their previous struggles to return to their competitive form. However, it’s clear that their losses to teams like DK and FOX are significant hurdles. Although T1 has qualified for the playoffs, they still have three matches remaining, one of which will be against HLE. This final match will be a “deciding game” for T1 as they aim to solidify their resolve and performance ahead of the playoffs.
