In the LCK Summer 2022 tournament, we can clearly see the dominance of T1 and Gen.G over the rest. Both teams have secured convincing victories against their opponents and are the first two teams to qualify for the playoffs of LCK Summer 2022.
Therefore, the match between T1 and Gen.G this Saturday is essentially a group stage final to determine the top position. Before the match, T1 managed to secure a victory against KT with a score of 2-1. After the match, T1’s “Chairman” Faker expressed extreme confidence in being able to take down Gen.G soon, especially after reaching the remarkable milestone of being the second player to achieve 4000 assists.
Q: How do you feel being the second player in LCK to reach 4000 assists?
T1 Faker: I don’t feel overly excited about getting assists, but reaching such a positive milestone is still a good thing.
Q: Do you have any thoughts about your next match?
T1 Faker: Gen.G is currently on an extremely long winning streak, and they have many matches where they defeated opponents 2-0. They are indeed a strong team. Although our recent performance hasn’t been at its peak, if we prepare well, we will still take down Gen.G.
In fact, Faker’s confidence in T1’s victory over Gen.G is well-founded as they are the only team to have defeated Chovy and his teammates in this tournament. Another factor that boosts T1’s confidence for the upcoming match is that Zeus is currently the best-performing player. Meanwhile, Doran has long been seen as a weakness for Gen.G, allowing T1 to exploit this position heavily in the Top Lane and secure a win.
Additionally, in the recent match against KT, Gumayusi also achieved a crucial Pentakill that directly led to T1’s victory. This was a much-needed morale booster for Gumayusi, who has not been performing well lately. It’s important to remember that T1’s “prince” is about to face Ruler, a player with both experience and high skill, so regaining confidence is extremely important for Gumayusi at this time.
