Recently, the news that Faker is injured and must take a break from competition has made the LCK Summer 2023 tournament incredibly memorable. Not only does it mark a long hiatus for the Demon King in his career, but losing their captain has also caused the T1 team to immediately “plummet” with poor performance. Once one of the most successful teams in the LCK, T1 now seems to be creating a regrettable stain in their otherwise smooth development journey.
It’s needless to say how disappointed long-time fans feel witnessing their beloved team decline further this season. Across various forums, countless discussions have emerged. Some cheer and encourage, while others belittle, criticize, and mock the young talents for their weak resolve. This disappointment is understandable, as the “remnants” left by Faker are struggling to defeat the two weakest teams, DRX and OK BRION. In fact, the risk of T1 “missing” the playoffs could very well occur in the future.
However, while it seems that long-time T1 fans are the most upset, it turns out there is still one “captain” who is suffering even more at this moment. As the leader who has guided T1 fans with a passionate love for so long, witnessing the current results that T1 is producing has left Van Tung with no choice but to quietly “dive” with his crew to the depths. It can be said that not only is he “dying inside” a little, but he has also suffered a series of losses in his analysis of T1’s performances in this year’s LCK.
Indeed, as a long-time fan, this captain may have to dive deep for a long time. Hopefully, he will stay strong to continue to lift the ship named “content about T1” to even further lands in the future.
