On January 14, Beijing time, in the third day of the 2022 LCK Spring Games in SEOUL PARK, South Korea, the T1 team that won the first game won 2-1 against BRO to win two consecutive wins. Faker's appearance in the 22nd consecutive victory over Vigus in the offseason has also attracted the attention of fans, and korean media INVEN interviewed Faker players after the game.
Q: After winning the BRO today, you won a second consecutive victory, can you tell us how you feel?
Faker: I was hoping to win 2-0 cleanly, but we ended up winning 2-1, which is very fortunate, but I wasn't particularly happy with today's competitiveness, so overall today was a bit of a regrettable day.
Q: What was the feedback from the team after the game?
Faker: First of all, the operational aspects of the first inning, talking about how to improve, and then there's how to do the next game.
Q: The Faker player won 22 consecutive victories in the rankings with the hero Vigus, which became a hot topic among fans, and you also used Vigus in today's game, is there any trick you can tell you?
Faker: If you want to play Vigus well, you need to practice more in the rankings, and the skills can be accurate.
Q: In recent matches, Reitz has started to appear again, and this hero is also a symbol of fakers, so how do you evaluate Reitz?
Faker: Reitz is a very versatile picker, so it's more difficult to use, but if the proficiency is high enough, I think it's worth using.
Q: In the last game, you were robbed of five kills by Aner players, did you talk about anything after the game?
Faker: The Oner player apologized, and then I plan to grab it again the next time the Oner player can kill five (laughs).
Q: The new version of the teleportation has changed a lot, and when I asked the wild players, they all said that the feeling did not have a particularly big impact, so how do you feel as a middle runner?
Faker: It's a bit depressing because you can't teleport creeps, and you can't swim around, so you can only focus on the middle route, so it's a bit "boring".
Q: Not long ago, Faker won the "Ideal World Cup for Professional Players" held in Untara (formerly SKT).
Faker: It wasn't particularly happy that Untara chose me as number one... That's it.
Q: Recently there have been rumors that you were born in 2002, is this true?
Faker: I didn't say I was in '02, but it's often said that way around me, thanks to their blessing, I also feel younger (laughs).
Q: There is a generation gap between Coach Bengi, who has played professionally with you, and Oner, who is now a wild player in T1, a full 9-year gap between them?
Faker: Recently, my friends have been developing faster, so they don't look very small, and although there are still some generation gaps elsewhere, it doesn't feel very obvious.
Q: So what is the generation gap between them?
Faker: Except that sometimes the tone and way of speaking is a little strange.
Q: Every time you play Jump King in your personal live broadcast, you always want to deliberately fall down in order to find the original intention, is there any special reason for this? Can you hear the audience getting scared together?
Faker: It's all fallen anyway, so it doesn't matter if you drop a little more, and if the audience doesn't watch it from the beginning of the game, it's just a good idea to let them start from scratch.
Q: Can I pass Jump King during the Spring Season?
Faker: Well, it should be able to do it.
Q: T1's next game is against DRX, can you tell us your pre-match impressions?
Faker: The next game will determine whether we can win three consecutive games, and we can have a good start to the new season to have a good ending, so the next game is very important and I will do my best to prepare!
