Faker has changed his habits compared to before
Perhaps at the present time, the League of Legends community is no longer unfamiliar with Faker's injury. During LCK Summer 2023, Faker had to take a break long enough for T1 to fall into danger. However, the documentary released by T1 not long ago showed that Faker's injury was much more severe than what was revealed. Many spectators also commented that with such a wrist injury, the fact that Faker could still compete was an effort. And even when he retires, it's unlikely that Faker's arm will recover to normal.
However, another reason for Faker's injury, besides intense training and competition, also comes from his gaming posture. While looking back at Faker's previous competition images, the audience discovered that the T1 player often did not let his wrist rest on the table as a support, but only kept his hand on the table to hold the mouse, leaving his neck alone. The hand will almost float for long periods of time. In fact, this method will help gamers move the mouse faster, but in return, they will have to put more pressure on their wrists because they will easily get tired of their wrists and easily slip their hands while moving the mouse too quickly. .
At the present time, the audience discovered that Faker had placed his whole hand on the table, thereby creating a support for his wrist. Perhaps, with injuries combined with the fact that Faker's hands have weakened, “GOAT” himself must adjust his habits accordingly.
Faker and T1's journey at Worlds 2024 is probably just beginning
Perhaps no one thought that the mighty Bilibili Gaming and can be considered the “enemy” of LCK teams would fall so easily against T1. But that is why the upcoming opponent G2 Esports may be the difficult stage for T1 when the match will be a BO3 match. LEC representatives also showed how upset they were at Worlds 2024, when they almost made the mighty Hanwha Life Esports “hate”. T1 certainly cannot underestimate Caps and their teammates, especially when G2 at MSI 2024 also took T1 5 games to overcome.
Faker's time is running out, but perhaps at the present time, he will still try his best. And if they win Worlds 2024, not only Faker but perhaps this entire T1 team will be the greatest team in the history of League of Legends ever.
