Chovy Talks About Faker’s Historic Contract
About two weeks ago, on the last day of July 2025, Faker shocked the League of Legends community by renewing his contract with T1 ahead of schedule for an unprecedented 4 years – a first in professional League of Legends history in top regions. Not only T1 fans or Faker fans but the entire League of Legends community erupted in excitement. Many players and experts also noted that Faker continues to “help” League of Legends maintain its presence for another 4 years. Recently, Chovy has also spoken up.
Specifically, in a statement after the match against KT, Chovy said: “Actually, I’m not surprised at all that Faker extended his contract with T1 for another 4 years. But I think that contract is a good thing for League of Legends.”
With Faker Renewing, Chovy and Gen.G Should Also Celebrate
In fact, Faker’s 4-year contract renewal with T1 also means that Chovy and Gen.G will also “benefit” from it. Matches between Gen.G – T1 or any team that Chovy joins in the future (if any) will attract the greatest attention from the League of Legends community. Chovy, in some aspect, will always have a rival to strive to surpass.
Moreover, Faker’s stay with T1, LCK, and League of Legends could ensure the region’s appeal for at least another 4 years. Currently, although the professional aspect may not be 100% as it used to be, Faker still shines at the right moments. T1’s consecutive victories in the World Championship also guarantee the quality of LCK. This will help teams here receive investments from Riot, as well as sponsorships from brands. Notably, T1 has just secured a sponsorship deal from a corporation in Saudi Arabia during the EWC 2025.
Therefore, Faker’s renewal with T1 can be seen as a move that brings joy to everyone, and everyone benefits from this positive outcome.
