In the 2023 LCK Summer Losers Final, T1 defeated KT 3-2 to advance to the Summer Final, where they will meet GEN again for the Summer Championship! I have to say that this season for T1 has been a roller coaster, especially T1 fans, everyone may have given up because the form in the second half of the regular season is really poor! However, everything changed from the return of Faker, after his hand injury recovery, returning to the field T1 was like a changed team, with the backbone and tactical core, slowly regaining his previous form! In the first round of the semifinals, they met KT "à la carte", but T1 won the end, and now the loser group meets again, or T1 wins to complete the double kill against KT!
To say that this BO5, the overall state of both sides is full, KT's Tano Cuzz faces his old club, and has staged a good show of robbing the dragon many times, which is considered to be his best! But from the overall point of view, the T1 side is better, especially Gumayusi seems to have slowly regained some competitive status after playing these series! And Faker, as the backbone, he always dares to open a group at a critical moment and make his own decision, even if the team fails, he completely believes him! He also became the protagonist of this BO5, and after winning KT, T1 also managed to secure LCK's second place in the S13 World Finals, which is also Faker's eighth advance to the World Championship!
If the god of the world championship is who, when it comes to Faker, no one should dare to compete with him, S3 (champion), S5 (champion), S6 (champion), S7 (runner-up), S9 (semifinal), S11 (semifinal), S12 (runner-up), he has been able to maintain such a good state for so many years, and it is really not easy to advance to the world championship again as a veteran! This is also his first time hosting major divisions, as he failed to qualify for the previous World Championships hosted by S4 and S8 in South Korea! Finally, look forward to T1 and GEN once again competing for the LCK Summer Championship showdown, and also look forward to the veteran Faker once again "dance" the World Championship!
