For the players of T1, at this moment, as the team members admit, they will make the most of each match to experiment with as many options as possible to have the best strategies for the more crucial stage when entering the playoffs. T1’s confidence is completely justified, especially since apart from Gen.G, even other representatives in the championship candidate group (KT Rolster, Hanwha Life Esports, Dplus KIA) do not show enough ability to threaten T1. Therefore, DRX hardly had any opportunity when the “Blue Dragon” is currently at the bottom of the standings.
The match against DRX, of course, will be seen as one of the pivotal matches before T1 finishes the group stage well before the Lunar New Year. The “Blue Dragon” is too weak to create any surprises for the defending champions of the 2023 World Championship. T1 faced no difficulties in swiftly and overwhelmingly finishing both games. With this victory against DRX, T1 continues to extend their winning streak and solidify their second position in the standings, right behind Gen.G – the only team still unbeaten in the LCK Spring 2024.
Not only that, Faker himself also had the opportunity to “farm” more of his records, and the T1 Mid Laner did not miss this chance. With the victory against DRX, Faker now has 600 wins throughout his career, specifically in the domestic LCK tournament. This number surpasses the second-place player, who is also his peer – Deft, by a staggering 158 wins (Deft has only 442 wins). This achievement showcases Faker’s long and glorious career. It’s just unfortunate that Faker is still 4 kills short of reaching the milestone of 3000 kills in the LCK throughout his career.
At the same time, many fans also expressed their opinions: “Faker continues to set a new record. His records just keep extending with each match. And the next generations will never be able to break them. 600 wins. Unbelievable.”
Clearly, having 600 wins throughout his career is a colossal number. On average, a player needs at least 50 wins per year, over a continuous span of 10 years, to have hope of catching up to Faker. But there are still many matches ahead for Faker, and as many opinions suggest, perhaps the succeeding generations should just hope to create their own milestones instead.
