The LCK Spring Playoffs are underway, and after being beaten 3-0 by HLE, T1 managed to eliminate DK with a 3-0 record and advance to the lower bracket finals, where they will face HLE again. After the first BO5 with HLE, Faker's post-match interview caused a lot of controversy, and just before he played HLE again, Faker also publicly apologized to HLE.
Faker's latest interview is as follows, he said that after losing to HLE, he said that "due to the DDos attack, it was not possible to train, which affected our understanding of the version", and he apologized for this sentence, because this sentence may be interpreted as something else, which is disrespectful to HLE. At that time, I wanted to express my frustration because I lost badly in the game, but then I looked back on my statement and reflected a lot, and it was my mistake to mention off-field factors after losing the game, and that interview was an unpleasant interview for HLE.
After losing to HLE last time, Korean media reporters reported: Faker said that the T1 players were unable to play ranked training because of DDos, which affected the performance in the game, which was unfair.
At that time, T1 had just been beaten by HLE, and the whole team did not play well, Faker's statement immediately caused a lot of controversy after the game, some people thought that the T1 club was not capable enough, as a communication company, it couldn't even solve the player's Rank problem, and some people ridiculed Faker for not being able to afford to lose, and they had to make excuses for losing, and some people were upset about HLE, thinking that Faker was not able to win in the yin and yang weird HLE, in short, public opinion was very explosive at that time.
And soon some Faker fans sorted out the original interview after losing to HLE, Faker did say that T1 can't be single-ranked, which has reduced the overall level of the team a lot, and compared to other teams, T1 has not had a fair chance to train. The original words of this interview are indeed quite different from what the LCK reporter said about unfairness because of DDos.
However, Faker himself said that he did blame off-court factors, so the original intention was misinterpreted, and his point was to say that T1 lost because he couldn't play qualifying, which affected his state, rather than saying that the game was unfair, he couldn't afford to lose, and he didn't respect HLE's victory. Of course, as the first person in LOL, he must have been observed by many people with a magnifying glass, and his words and deeds must be very rigorous, and Faker came out to apologize to give an explanation and result of this matter, I hope everyone will stop dwelling on this matter, and it is about to usher in the second meeting between T1 and HLE, it should be hoped that the audience will focus on the game, rather than these off-field disputes!
So, do you have anything to say about Faker's apology? Feel free to leave a message in the comment section to discuss.
