On the first day of the tournament, T1 and Faker had a relatively poor performance, suffering a 2-1 defeat against DRX. However, even 24 hours after the release of the LCK Summer 2020 trailer, and after T1’s disappointing opening match, the Demon King Faker remains the center of discussion within the League of Legends community as he is the main character in the high-quality trailer for LCK Summer 2020:
The characters in the trailer include T1 Faker – Azir, GEN Clid – Jarvan IV, DRX Keria – Thresh, DWG Nuguri – Jayce, KT Aiming – Ezreal, AF Kiin – Sett, HLE Lehends – Shen, APK Hybrid – Aphelios, SB OnFleek – Olaf, and finally DYN Rich – Aatrox.
One fan shared an impressive thought about the content of this trailer: “This is the remnants of the battle between Ambition and Faker in the RISE 2018 video. The battlefield looks desolate and empty, showing that LCK has been the underdog in the recent World Championships. Therefore, they decided to fight to find the strongest among them – the greatest hopes of LCK to reclaim the throne at the 2020 World Championship.”
Additionally, the reason why the LCK trailer has received widespread acclaim from the community is its quality, which completely overshadows other major regions like LPL, LCS, or LEC. Specifically, the LPL is quite “traditional” with trailers introducing players in a certain setting, LEC has released a series of trailers primarily aimed at “roasting” and “humoring,” and finally LCS boasts a prominent history of players from this region. Overall, no other region has a trailer as “hype” as LCK’s.
