Faker is also attentive to every small detail when competing
Recently, T1 released a documentary capturing the behind-the-scenes journey of this team participating in the World Championship, from the first match against IG to the finals against KT. Through this clip, viewers gained a more comprehensive understanding of what transpired when T1 participated in the tournament held in China. Additionally, numerous interesting moments of the players were revealed, one of which was Faker’s reaction during the CKTG 2025 finals.
Accordingly, while preparing to set up his equipment for the finals, Faker noticed and realized that his machine was not “comfortable”. Notably, these changes were very minor, and the organizers also assured that the equipment Faker used was only designated for the Swiss round and had not been used again until the finals.
However, notably, Faker responded to T1’s GM Becker: “Last year was the same; when I was preparing, the computer also had issues, and when I suggested a change, everything was fine afterward.” Perhaps Faker wanted to repeat a similar “process” before stepping into the most important match against KT.
Every achievement requires both talent and a bit of luck; Faker is no exception
No one denies that Faker’s talent and that of his teammates are the main factors that helped this team become the first name in League of Legends history to win the World Championship three times in a row. However, every match requires elements of luck or superstition; this applies not only to League of Legends but to any Esports game, including traditional sports.
Moreover, the CKTG 2025 finals is also the last match of the season, determining whether T1 can secure a title this past year. Therefore, it is entirely understandable that Faker wants to gather all the “favorable conditions” (if any) before the crucial match.
