Although Faker has a ton of worldwide titles beneath his belt, none of them are with the comparatively new roster on T1.

For the previous two years, Lee ‘Gumayusi’ Min-hyeong, Ryu ‘Keria’ Min-seok, and Mun ‘Oner’ Hyeon-jun have been working towards making themselves the most effective gamers within the area. Choi ‘Zeus’ Woo-je joined only a bit later, however he has confirmed himself to be a prime laner that’s nearly unimaginable to beat in a 1v1 matchup.

With this group already having a record-breaking win streak within the LCK and managing an LCK all-pro hat trick, T1 has all the pieces behind them aside from a current worldwide win. Faker’s determined to get that win together with his new teammates.

Faker had this to say when requested about his ideas going into the occasion by Naver information: “It’s been a very long time since I final received MSI. Being the runner up final 12 months has made me much more determined for the win.”

And, although he’s been by some powerful losses just lately, Faker claims he’s been in a position to be taught from them.

“I realized lots final 12 months, and, on this 12 months’s event, I could make use of what I realized by earlier experiences.”

It stays to be seen whether or not or not T1 can play their very own recreation nicely sufficient to take down the competitors and eventually nab a world win. And, with Keria having an eye injury that he’s presently recovering from, T1 could also be beginning their MSI 2023 run with a chip on their shoulder.
