Faker’s Injury is Worse Than Previously Displayed
As known, during the mid to late Summer 2023 season, Faker had to take a break from competition due to a hand injury. At that time, T1 immediately plummeted to the point where even the team’s die-hard fans were surprised. Fortunately for T1 in Summer 2023, Faker returned just in time, helping the team get back on the winning track before reaching the 2023 World Championship in a way that was anything but smooth. However, since that injury, observers have occasionally noticed Faker continuously rotating his wrist, and everyone understands that his injury is no minor matter.
Specifically, in a recent documentary about T1 being screened in theaters across South Korea, more details about Faker’s injury have been revealed. It was disclosed that his injury is more severe than what the audience can see, and when Faker took a break, that was when he could no longer hide it. According to information from the film, after one match, Faker’s hand lost sensation for at least one day. He couldn’t even carry his backpack and couldn’t lift his arm without using his other hand for support. Notably, Faker did not disclose this to the team to prevent the members from becoming anxious.
New Information from Faker Shocks Fans
Everyone understands that Faker’s injury is very severe, and this is a condition that Esports players or athletes who frequently use their hands, especially their hands and wrists, often face. But to the point of losing sensation and paralysis, it truly cannot be taken lightly. In this season, especially in the Summer 2024 stage, Faker has made quite a few mistakes. Not only due to performance or skill issues, but in reality, his injury may also be tormenting the “Demon King” day by day.
Moreover, T1 in the current season is also facing difficulties. They themselves are not yet sure of a spot in the 2024 World Championship as they still have at least one extremely challenging match against Hanwha Life Esports. With the revelation of Faker’s injury, it is likely that he will still face challenges against a high-performing Zeka. However, at this time, perhaps T1’s fans can do nothing but hope that their team will perform well in the upcoming matches.
