The Spring LCK has come to an end, while MSI 2020 was canceled due to the impact of Covid-19. Therefore, during this time, Faker and his teammates are enjoying some rare moments of relaxation in the season.
With nothing much to do, our Chairman decided to venture into a new game called Teamfight Tactics. However, it seems that games that don’t require quick reflexes but demand deep understanding and a bit of luck are not Faker’s strong suit.
After 4 days of experiencing TFT, the T1 squad in general and Faker in particular are stuck in… Silver IV. Witnessing Faker struggling in any game is indeed an interesting experience for the audience, but what leaves his fans speechless is that even when transitioning to TFT, Faker remains loyal to using… the default skin.
Previously, Faker stated that the reason he rarely uses skins in League of Legends (except for a few rare occasions promoting SKT skins or due to… accidentally clicking) is that skins change the skill effects or animations of champions, causing him to lose focus.
One would think that coming to Teamfight Tactics—a game that doesn’t require quick hands or eyes and thus doesn’t affect visual effects much—combined with the abundance of adorable Little Legends, Faker’s habits would change, but no.
Aside from the name Hide on Bush, the clearest sign of “Faker the Player” is that he doesn’t wear any items at all. Faker’s current Little Legend is still the default one, even though the Chairman is not short on funds; in fact, he doesn’t even need to spend money, as Riot Games is probably hoping he would “gracefully” choose a skin, but that hasn’t happened either.
And it’s not just Little Legends; Teamfight Tactics Season 3 has launched with many new maps and even the Force of Nature effect, but none of it has caught Faker’s attention. Perhaps the only thought in his mind when queuing for a match is just hoping to get into the game quickly to escape Silver IV.
