Faker showcases jungle skills that even Peanut finds surprising
Currently, Ambessa is emerging as a versatile champion, capable of playing at least 2 roles: Top Lane and Jungle. Among these, Jungle has become quite popular since the new season with many adjustments allowing Ambessa to clear jungle camps extremely quickly. The champion’s strong initiation and crowd control abilities are perfect for this new position. Recently, Faker has maximized Ambessa’s jungle potential, astonishing both the community and Peanut.
Accordingly, the total time for Faker to complete the 6 jungle camps is only about 1 minute and 22 seconds – a number that is significantly faster than many other Junglers. The speed is even more astonishing considering that Faker is not a traditional Jungler, and throughout the 6 jungle camps, he only used Smite once to quickly take down the Blue Buff.
During his stream, Peanut also noted that Faker’s jungle clearing speed with Ambessa is very fast: “That speed is truly insane. The challenge is to clear 6 jungle camps in under 2 minutes and 30 seconds, but Faker can do it faster. Counting from when the jungle monsters spawn (at 55 seconds), by 2 minutes and 28 seconds, he was already done.”
Faker is in great form
After the group stage matches of the LCK Cup 2026, T1 is performing very well, with each player of the reigning World Champion showing their highest form. Notably, Faker stands out as he has already achieved 2 POMs after 5 group stage matches – a very impressive number.
So far, T1’s victories have relied heavily on the strength of the top lane, with 3 players achieving POMs: Doran (2), Faker (2), and Peyz (1). The strength of the top lane allows Oner to allocate more resources to the bottom lane, helping Peyz to develop his power throughout the match. This is the perfect formula, and as long as T1 continues to win, this formula will remain highly effective.
