Faker’s Involvement in Doran’s Outstanding Performance Against HLE
In a thrilling match between T1 and HLE, Doran delivered an exceptional performance that significantly contributed to T1’s victory, overcoming a surprising 3-0 deficit against a formidable opponent. Notably, in the second game, while T1 was struggling, Doran’s advanced combat skills with Ambessa allowed T1 to make a remarkable comeback. One could argue that Doran’s Ambessa performance was as crucial as Camille’s play against Atakhan in the match against KT. However, Doran’s choice of this champion also highlighted…
Faker.
According to reports, during a mic-check right after T1 secured a crucial fight in the Lower Lane, Doran’s Ambessa found itself in a 1v2 situation, prompting Faker to praise him: “You should use Ambessa more often.” It is worth noting that in this casual remark, Faker hinted at Doran’s potential with this champion, which ultimately contributed to T1’s triumphant victory at home.
Faker’s Insight is Crucial for T1’s Victories
In fact, in a competitive setting, the role of an in-game leader is immensely important as this individual must be aware of every strategy and adapt to the opponent’s tactics accordingly. Understanding the enemy’s capabilities as well as the strategies they employ is extremely vital. Fortunately for T1, Faker fulfills this role effectively. In the 2023 World Championship Semi-Finals, Faker himself set up an ideal situation for “Ruler to come back and help Oner” to ensure the team could engage optimally.
Of course, champion selection is one aspect, but how a player performs with their chosen champion is another. Clearly, Faker possesses a deep understanding of his opponents and knows which strategies can maximize T1’s members’ potential.
