Currently, there is just over a week left before the LCK Spring 2024 matches officially kick off. In 2024, aside from T1, almost all other LCK teams have undergone some personnel changes, similar to 2022. Notably, some top teams like Gen.G, KT Rolster, and Dplus KIA have made significant roster changes. Undoubtedly, these teams aim to challenge T1 and compete for titles on the international stage.

Notably, the 2024 season will be even more intense, especially since Riot has implemented a series of major changes that directly impact League of Legends, particularly the Summoner’s Rift map. The new changes have begun to be experienced by players, and some feedback has already emerged. For instance, Gumayusi admitted that the new Summoner’s Rift is causing significant challenges for him and the other T1 members. They haven’t had enough time to adapt and may need more time before LCK Spring 2024 officially begins.

Recently, during an event where Mid Laners gathered for the LCK Kick-Off ahead of the Spring 2024 season, Faker made a revelation that left many viewers stunned. Specifically, as of January 6 (Vietnam time), which is just over a week before LCK Spring 2024 officially kicks off, Faker had not yet started practicing with the new map. Notably, when Faker checked in with his younger colleagues, almost all had already had their first scrims. The only exception was Faker’s “rival” Chovy, who was in the same situation as his senior: “I haven’t played a single game either.”

In reality, if players thoroughly researched all the information about the updates before the new season, they would have some overview of the changes in the upcoming season. However, according to some viewers, perhaps Faker is still busy… solving exam papers, hence he hasn’t had time to practice the new version.

In just a few days, LCK Spring 2024 will officially kick off, and in the opening match, T1 will face Gen.G. This will be a match that assesses Gen.G’s strength after their roster overhaul, as well as the quality and determination of the T1 lineup after reaching the pinnacle of the world. Therefore, this is also a highly anticipated match ahead.
