Faker has impressive statistics after the first week of LCK Cup 2026
After the first week of the LCK Cup 2026, it can be said that the most special case is the T1 team. So far, it is still difficult to evaluate the overall strength of the reigning World Championship champions in the new season. However, what T1 has shown so far is quite impressive, especially the unexpected victory over HLE after being behind in the first game. Among T1’s matches, Faker is perhaps the most special player.
According to statistics from Gol.gg, Faker is the Mid Laner with the lowest percentage of gold compared to the entire team (% Gold) among the 10 Mid Laners participating in this LCK Cup. However, Faker’s damage per minute (DPM) ranks second on the leaderboard. This means that T1’s captain is the most efficient player among all midlaners in this LCK Cup 2026. He fully utilizes resources to convert them into damage and secure victories for the team, despite facing many disadvantages in the lane.
Additionally, with a low %Gold, Faker also ensures that he does not encroach on the resources of his teammates, specifically the Top Lane, Jungle, and ADC. This is an important premise that helps T1 members regain an advantage, as currently, T1 is not particularly strong in laning compared to other top teams in the LCK.
Faker’s impact is immeasurable
While other LCK midlaners like Chovy, Zeka, or ShowMaker influence through carrying the team, dealing damage, and laning… Faker has other ways to help T1 secure victories, starting from the smallest details. So far, T1 is still on the right track, and for the fans of this team, this is perhaps the most important thing.
