Recently, in an interview marking his return to T1 as a streamer/creator, Wolf – the legendary former Support who won two world championships with this team, shared many interesting stories about his relationship with the team members, especially Faker – one of his two close friends who formed the “atomic trio” of SKT alongside Bang and Wolf.
Accidentally referred to by Faker in a cold manner as “my anti”, Wolf explained why he returned to T1; it was simply to make some behind-the-scenes reports and share a few stories from behind the keyboard to show everyone how mischievous Faker can be (the problem is, everyone already knows this without needing him to expose it).
In addition, the story about the most famous wombo combo in League of Legends history, of which Wolf was the creator, was also mentioned again. And it turns out, the reason he decided to “anti” his best friend was simply because he was… stealing all the spotlight from him (it’s all because of that commentator):
“That most memorable match? I’ve answered this question no less than 30 times on the donation channel; that damn Shockwave keeps getting brought up again and again.”
“I know that the commentators couldn’t keep their cool (when they exclaimed ‘Faker’s Shockwave’), but really that was all me, come on.”
“Orianna can pull off a legendary R because the ball is on me. As soon as I saw the opportunity with that ball, I charged forward and almost arranged everything perfectly, smoothly like pushing a cart.”
“After that, I just wanted to call the commentator from that match and ask, ‘Why? How could you make such a mistake?’, oh that damn ‘Faker’s Shockwave.'”
The translation is referenced from the fan page The Club of Those Who Love SKT T1 ・ิω・ิ
The situation that Wolf mentioned is probably something we are all too familiar with; it is the most classic wombo combo in the history of professional League of Legends by SKT in the match against EDward Gaming at the group stage of the 2017 World Championship.
In a situation where they were down by 10k gold and completely outmatched, Rakan in Wolf’s hands executed a combo precise to the millimeter, and then Faker followed up with a final move: Command: Shockwave, creating a team fight situation where SKT concentrated almost all crowd control effects on the EDG members, wiping out all the equipment advantages of the Chinese representatives and then completely destroying them.
Of course, all experts agree that Wolf was the one who contributed the most to this historic turnaround. However, at that moment, the commentator shouted Faker’s ultimate, which is why “Fat Wolf” felt… offended.
But even so, who would have thought that he would still hold onto this pain for years, and even “plot” his return to T1 just to fulfill his wish of making a vlog… to talk bad about the chairman.
“I am the only vlogger in this world who can talk bad about Faker because I only speak the truth.” – Wolf asserted.
Of course, talking bad or exposing anything is fine, but if anyone dares to touch Faker, they probably won’t get away with it from Wolf. It’s a relationship like: “two best friends can only smear each other, but others? No way!”
