Faker is preparing a “secret weapon”
After overcoming a very difficult opponent, Bilibili Gaming, T1 will encounter an equally challenging name, G2 Esports. The reason why the T1 – G2 match can be considered even more difficult for Faker and his teammates, the first reason is because this will be a BO3 match. That means trying to win the first game is not guaranteed to win the final match. And next, G2 is the only European representative until now that can be considered to make it difficult for T1 every time the two sides clash. In particular, at the present time, Caps can also be considered a bit better than Faker in handling champion bets that require high skills.
Recently, in rank, Faker had the first time using Aurora in European rank and T1's Mid Lane had an unofficial pentakill when Faker's first and last kills were one away from the other 3 kills. long enough period of time. However, Faker's use of the new rabbit released this year in rank can also be understood as Faker may bring this champion to fight against G2. At LCK Summer 2024, Faker also used Aurora quite effectively before this general was banned by Riot in the entire professional League of Legends village.

But it will be difficult for Faker to use it
Aurora is the champion with the best network control skillset today and Aurora's win rate at Worlds 2024 is also very impressive, up to 66.7% in Main Event alone. This general was only allowed to play 6 times in the Swiss round but was banned 24 times – enough to show Aurora's strength. Therefore, if Faker cannot choose to be on the Blue side, the possibility of Faker being able to use the rabbit champion is quite low.
However, if T1 can hold strong champions, along with the performance shown against BLG, victories will be completely possible. Having risen from adversity in 2023, there is no reason not to believe that T1 will be able to repeat the miracle this year, with G2 being the first leg of the magical journey.
