Faker made statements towards Chovy
It can be said that the match against Gen.G continued to be one of the performances where Faker showed his value, even though he is now older. In particular, the comparison between Faker and Chovy throughout the match also clearly reflected the final result. Because, throughout all 4 games, Faker almost completely “outed” Chovy. However, when sharing in an interview after the match, Mid Lane of T1 had humble words and also had positive feedback about the performance of their junior and opponent on the other side of the battle line.
Accordingly, Faker said: “I had a match with Chovy and although we won, I personally think I didn't play too well. I think Chovy played very well. In fact, Chovy is a player amazing, so I believe he can win Worlds one day. But right now, I think this is our moment and that's why we won I feel comfortable because I had an interesting match with Chovy.”
Faker showed that Chovy still has a long journey to show
The recent Semi-final match can be said to have revealed all of Faker's strengths and conversely, all of Chovy's weaknesses. In difficult situations, Chovy does not show the necessary suddenness or boldness. Meanwhile, right in the final fight of game 4, Faker was ready to rush in to act as a “decoy” and lure the entire Gen.G team to use all their skills on him, placing his teammates in favorable positions. to counterattack. Meanwhile, Chovy played too safe and then made the mistake of not retreating to defend but staying when his teammates were almost defeated, only to be caught by Keria's pull and lie down.
Maybe that was just Chovy's reaction when he felt the game was gradually getting out of his control. But clearly, when Gen.G needed it, Chovy did not speak up. And the elements of bravery, psychology, and the necessary star moment are what have been, are, and may in the future continue to hinder Chovy on the path to conquering Worlds.
