With a playoff spot for the 2021 LCK Summer Season almost secured, the remaining group stage matches for T1 were relatively relaxed. In their match against Fredit BRION, Faker and his teammates displayed a much more open game and provided plenty of exciting moments for the audience.
One of the most notable highlights was the appearance of LeBlanc in Faker’s hands in Game 1. While this champion has been frequently picked by other mid-laners this season, Faker—who had established an undefeated streak with her—rarely chose this elusive mid-laner in recent matches.
Perhaps due to T1’s almost certain playoff qualification, they began experimenting with their lineup against a weaker BRO, and Faker granted fans their wish by bringing LeBlanc back.
It was noticeable that the combos from LeBlanc by the President weren’t as smooth as during his peak performance and often stumbled. Nevertheless, the caliber of a top superstar cannot be overshadowed, and his laning ability, roaming, ganking, and various assassination tactics were still more than enough to make Faker’s LeBlanc an undefeated force.
At the end of Game 1, Faker easily claimed MVP with a KDA of 6/0/2 while playing LeBlanc. Meanwhile, T1 also secured an overall victory of 2-1 against Fredit BRION after three matches, solidifying their position in the top 6.
