Faker Recognized by AI as Best Player at LCK Awards 2024
Despite the ongoing debates surrounding individual category nominations at the League of Legends (LoL) awards, Faker continues to be a strong contender for the top honors. He has previously been recognized at the global level and is expected to claim victories at the LCK Awards 2024, which will take place on the evening of December 29 (Vietnam time). The AI assessment indicates that his achievements, especially his role in T1’s performance at the World Championship, solidify his status as a leading candidate for the Best Player award.
According to AI evaluations, Faker is poised to secure the Outstanding Player of the Year title at the LCK Awards 2024. The AI data highlights his remarkable contributions, including being named FMVP in the finals against Bilibili Gaming.
However, in comparison to Faker, other contenders such as Chovy, Peanut, and Oner may also stir some controversy. Chovy has been recognized for his achievements post-MSI 2024, while Peanut’s performance this season was limited to a single LCK Summer Championship, and he, along with Hanwha Life Esports, has faced challenges since their early exit from the World Championship.
Regarding Oner, his impact is evident, but it may be difficult to compare him directly with his counterparts. If forced to choose, Oner could potentially rank just behind Faker.
Will Faker and T1 Sweep the LCK Awards 2024?
Aside from Faker’s nomination for Outstanding Player of the Year, other positions are likely to incite more debate, particularly concerning T1’s representation.
In the Top and Jungle categories, the competition is expected to be fierce. Players like Kiin, Zeus, and Doran have had standout moments contributing to their team’s recognition. For the Jungle position, it is likely that either Peanut or Oner, both of whom have made significant contributions, will be nominated for Best Jungle Player.
The next battle will be for Rookie of the Year, which may narrow down to a rivalry between Gumayusi and Viper, especially since Peyz has not made a significant impact despite his team’s achievements. The Support of the Year category appears less competitive as Keria has demonstrated significant superiority over his rivals, Lehends and Delight.
If everything remains unchanged, T1 is likely to sweep almost all categories at the LCK Awards 2024, following a year of significant success culminating in their World Championship victory.
