There is a fact from the recent match against Nongshim RedForce of T1, which is that Faker and his teammates were also taken by surprise in game 2 due to their somewhat overly confident drafting. The decision to use Twisted Fate by Gumayusi clearly shows that they still maintain their habit of testing champions, but this time it was a bit excessive. Immediately, in game 3, the star-studded T1 lineup corrected their mistakes and won with a score of 2-1. Thus, they continue to maintain their unbeaten streak and sit at the top of the LCK Spring 2024 standings.
Moreover, after the match, Keria also achieved a new record specifically for the LCK Spring 2024. Accordingly, the young star of T1 is the Support player with the highest damage percentage across all teams competing in the tournament, at a total of 15.7%. This number is significantly higher than many Junglers and likely only falls short of the three main damage roles according to the current meta and playstyle of many teams, which are Top Lane, Mid Lane, and AD Carry.
However, Keria’s achievement is indeed impressive, and perhaps only T1 can create the conditions for Supports to achieve such remarkable stats. Most other Supports in the remaining LCK teams only reach single-digit numbers, with exceptions like Delight (KT Rolster), Kellin (Dplus KIA), and Pleata having double-digit damage levels. However, Delight, Kellin, and Pleata are all Support players inclined to initiate fights, using champions that deal area damage. In contrast, Keria can play a wide variety of champion matchups. He frequently uses AD Carry Supports this season.
Only at T1, with the synergy of the members, the spirit, and the battle experience, can the skills of each player be maximally expressed. It can be said that Keria possesses a versatile playstyle, largely thanks to the talented teammates he stands alongside.
In the recent match against NS, Keria was not particularly outstanding. However, this is also quite normal as T1 is still “diligently” experimenting with strategies. It is likely that in the near future, many new champion picks will be showcased by Keria in this year’s LCK Spring.
