Faker reached the top of the world 3 times, in which the last time we saw the Demon Lift the Cup was in 2016, when SKT T1 defeated SSG 3-2 in the final. After a period of ups and downs for many years, Faker is now facing the opportunity to have the 4th championship; The reason for that transformation comes from the way T1 captain overcome pressure. “I felt that I was under pressure in the past, but now I have overcome that, even a little excited. When I stepped on the floor, I always showed positive and optimistic emotions.” – Faker said.
In 2021, T1 built a squad around Faker with a talented young team; Entering 2022 the only change is Zeus instead of Canna. T1's “homegrown” players helped Faker were surrounded by young players. The only thing that the Zeus – Oner – Gumayusi is missing is international experience compared to the elder.
After defeating the No. 4 seed LPL, RNG, T1 and Faker officially entered the semi -finals to encounter JD Gaming. From 2019 to the present, the semi -finals have always been a solid wall to prevent Faker from setting foot in the final; In the eyes of the rival of the runner -up LCK will be the Chinese king, this promises to be a maximum challenge for Faker and his juniors. The semi -final between T1 & JDG will take place at 04:00 am on October 30 according to Vietnam time.
