Faker won the championship, “old teammate” got thanks
T1's victory a few days ago at the 2024 World Championship final not only helped this team become the greatest team in League of Legends history, but also made both the League of Legends and Esports communities explode.

Specifically, in this case, it is Peanut – Go Jungle of Hanwha Life Esports and has also appeared at Worlds 2024. The only thing is, the LCK Summer 2024 champion must soon stop in the Quarterfinals after an unexpected loss. doubted Bilibili Gaming.
Accordingly, right after T1 won the championship, Peanut made many fans excited when he posted a photo of Faker on his Instagram story. Immediately, “Little Bean”'s post attracted the attention of the League of Legends community, especially fangirls. Famous as a player with a lot of charisma and a large fan base thanks to his talent and the most handsome face in the LCK, Peanut's post to congratulate his senior – former teammate even helped him gain more fans.

Faker has always been a role model for professional players
