A few weeks ago, LCK officially previewed the protracted battle between T1 and GEN, but unfortunately, because of the reason why several GEN players diagnosed the new crown, the match with T1 was not "perfect", chovy even had to play a single because of the change in the lineup, which also made it difficult to achieve the Faker VS chovy middle road showdown that many people were looking forward to, and finally this game was also easily won with T1 2-0, you can't say how well T1 played, It can only be said that the current strength gap between the two sides is indeed quite large.
After the match, T1's Zhongdan Faker also expressed regret about this "not perfect" match in an interview with Korean media.
Faker said: "If you play against the main players, the game will be more interesting, which is a pity."
T1 was a bit of a bitter fight in the first set, but the back-end force finally won, and the game won a little easier in the second set, and when it came to the feeling of victory, Faker said: "I am very much looking forward to the GEN game, but the different plot developments I expected made me a little disappointed, but I am very grateful to be able to win."
He expressed regret about the team's competitive ability: "In the first set, our team had a lot of mistakes, and there seemed to be some burden in the game, so the game did not seem to be in good shape." Faker also didn't do well with his performance, adding: "Although I got THE POG, it didn't feel like I won the game because I played well."
Since last year, every matchup between Faker and Chovy has attracted a lot of attention, but Chovy went on the road today, so the 1V1 showdown was not successful. Faker said regretfully: "There may be a meeting in the next second round, so I want to play at my best."
Faker is only 1 game away from his 1,000 games in his pro league.
"It doesn't matter if I play a few games now, I think every game allows me to develop myself better, so focus on every game," he said. He also said: "1,000 games are of great significance" and "I want to set more records in the future", showing a strong interest.
Veterans such as Deft and Rascal have made an impression of their performances this season, to which Faker said: "In the past, age has affected a lot of situations in the game, so I think this impact will be less in the future", "Good players will always do well, which seems to be logical."
"If the study of games in the past was very active and games developed very quickly, then the study of games now becomes slow," he said. Because the game has not changed much, it is easy to deal with, and to a certain extent, it has accumulated a lot of experience. ”
Recently in the overseas league, the middle road appeared in the middle of the solaka and Ayon play, Faker also gave his own views on this, he said: "Before in my mind to think about Soraca in the single, because there is a team in North America used, so in order to test the recent live play, because of the change in transmission, so there are very few heroes like Solaka involved in other lines, big moves are especially good."
As for the imminent weakening of the cards that are more used by himself, he said: "It is expected that the versatility that can be used in any combination like this will be reduced, but it can still be used according to the situation."
Faker believes that the advantage of this year's T1 is "operation". "There seems to be a lot of head-cutting in terms of operations, and the abilities of individuals in combat seem to be greatly exploited," he said. T1's next game is against KT, to which Faker also expressed his ambitions, revealing that "our goal is to win nine consecutively, and if we get this result in the first round, it means that we can also achieve a total victory in the second round, and there are many in the early stages of the second round."
Finally, Faker said, "Because everyone should be worried about the new crown, we also want to work hard to manage health and show the best state" and "I hope that fans will also pay attention to physical health."
