As of now, Scout and the LNG Esports team are having a relatively successful season. Although they are not at the top of the standings, Scout has earned the title of “Most Valuable Player (MVP) of LPL Summer 2023” with outstanding points. Furthermore, LNG has just defeated Bilibili Gaming (BLG) to advance to the LPL Summer 2023 Finals.
With such high performance, it’s just a matter of time before LNG and Scout secure a spot in the World Championship (Worlds) 2023. However, what brings the most joy to Scout right now is Faker’s return to competition. He shared that he still has much to learn from Faker at the upcoming Worlds.
“Is it true that Faker has recovered from his injury? That’s great news; his return will make T1 much stronger. He will definitely help T1 at Worlds this year. I really want to meet him to learn more things. I also hope Viper can perform well so I can meet him again,” Scout shared.
Just as Scout predicted, Faker helped T1 end their losing streak with a victory against Kwandong Freecs on his return day. Moreover, T1 with Faker demonstrated much better coordination and map control without the service of the “Demon King”. Faker’s timely return will make the LCK Summer 2023 title race much more exciting.
As for Scout, he also has a great opportunity to win the LPL Summer 2023. Additionally, this is the only way for LNG to secure a spot at Worlds 2023 this week. If they fail in the upcoming finals, LNG will have to seek opportunities in the risky regional qualifiers. Hopefully, Scout and the LNG team can maintain their current high performance to achieve good results in the near future.
