Faker is mentioned after T1 VALORANT’s historic achievement
Recently, T1’s VALORANT team successfully claimed the championship title at the Bangkok Master 2025 after defeating G2 Esports in a full map match that included 3 overtimes. This is also the first championship title of an official international tournament for the representative from South Korea. Notably, even though he has never played VALORANT professionally, Faker was still mentioned.
Specifically, on many forums, several fans of T1 VALORANT as well as the game in general expressed their gratitude towards the mid-laner of T1 in League of Legends. Apparently, this stems from a rather old image. At that time, T1 VALORANT had a “prayer” session with a background image of Faker before a match, and from then on, the “Demon King” was seen as the “guardian spirit” of T1 VALORANT.
However, an interesting thing is that at the time of this “prayer”, T1 VALORANT’s subsequent match ended in a loss.
But Faker and T1 in League of Legends are facing many issues
In reality, the LCK Cup 2025 can be said to be unsuccessful for T1 in League of Legends. Especially when both T1 Challengers and T1 VALORANT have achieved high results, the “leading team” T1 in League of Legends suffering a complete failure is a significant shock. Not to mention, the internal situation of T1 in League of Legends is also encountering many problems, most of which stem from the upper management.
In the context of the most heavily invested game and featuring one of the most influential Esports players going through many troubles, although T1 fans in general may be excited about the achievements of the Challengers and VALORANT teams, there are still many concerns for the upcoming Regular Seasons.
In this context, Faker is once again expected to make statements or actions that could help T1 overcome this dark phase. But so far, the captain of T1 has not been able to make any statements, which adds to the fans’ anxiety, especially with the First Stand approaching and Regular Seasons on the horizon.
