The spring competition of LCK next door is just the opposite of LPL. Except for Geng, most of the established giants have not performed well. T 1(SKT) team, once a powerful T 1 team, has now become the crane tail team of LCK. As a result, Faker, the soul of the team and recognized as the big devil in the LOL e-sports circle, broke the defense for the first time in the post-game interview.
Faker: The atmosphere of the team is not very good. We have achieved a great victory that can change the atmosphere. On February 3rd, after T 1 defeated NS, Faker, a single player in the team, became the first player in LCK Division to reach 600 games. He was also interviewed by Korean media after the game. In the interview, Faker broke the defense for the first time and talked a lot about his own views on T 1. From the fans' point of view, this is also the first time Faker said that he and the coaching staff have different ideas. This is also the first time he said that training time is not enough; This is also the first time that he only talks about his goals this year by entering the world series.
The following is a Korean translation of Faker's original words:
The atmosphere of the team is not very good, and we have won a great victory that can change the atmosphere. After the supervisor joined the team, the direction he imagined was different from my imagination, and there were many difficulties. But I still try my best to cooperate with my teammates, coaches, supervisors and other teams as a whole in the direction I want. Faker also said later that his wish in S 1 1 was to enter the World Series!
Frankly speaking, it seems that the problem of T 1 is really big. In the interview, Faker spoke tactfully and hardly said anything about right or wrong in the team. Now the defense has been directly broken, and then linked to the current T 1 record, this problem is not generally big.
However, as far as Faker said "no time to train", King Xiang felt outrageous. You know, in the old SKT, there were basically no other activities except training. At that time, SKT's training intensity was hellish and the highest in the league. Eat, train and sleep three times a day, and even the holidays are pitiful. Bang even collapsed for a time, and Kkoma didn't take a long vacation for several years. SKT has such strength and a group of hard-working geniuses, and it is natural to hold three S crowns in his hand.
But now T 1, continuous marketing, the effect is not good, it is a marketing team. It is suggested that LCK award the honor of "Best Marketing" team in S 1 1 season to T 1 team.
After SKT was renamed as a shareholder, the coquettish operation continued, but there was no result. Since SKT 1 was renamed as T1,there have been various coquettish operations: what frequently participates in variety shows, what produces new songs, the lyrics are still three stars, and the people with the most MV shots sit on the bench. You'll never think what outrageous operation T 1 will do. The embarrassed king personally feels that T 1 may know that Faker has only one year left in his contract and is trying to squeeze out his last commercial value.
Frankly speaking, the commercialization of e-sports is an inevitable fact. But the foundation of e-sports is based on achievements. If commercialization is to succeed, a good result is essential. A team that only knows marketing and has no achievements will definitely fail in its commercial marketing. Fans will not pay for a team that has no results and only consumes feelings. Simply put, a "Caicai Zi" team doesn't deserve fans.
The clay figurine is still angry. Faker came to such a set in the interview, and it is estimated that it has reached the point of unbearable. Faker is in the Korean e-sports circle, following SlayerSBoxeR (does anyone remember him? Later, another e-sports player known as the "national treasure" of South Korea. He is recognized as the top superstar in the Korean e-sports circle and even the global e-sports circle. Maybe Faker is old now and his operation is not as sharp as before, but "never laugh at the god who goes down the mountain."
Summoners, do you think T 1 wants to stop renewing his contract Faker it when it expires, thus squeezing out his last commercial value? If Faker moves, is it possible for him to come to LPL? Let's talk together!
