Faker shares about Worlds 2024 as the defending champions of the tournament.

Faker's somewhat "reserved" statement about Worlds 2024

A few days ago, the LCK side held a small departure ceremony at the LCK Arena to cheer up the team's spirit before leaving for Europe to attend the 2024 World Championship. Here, the players as well as the coaches of the teams The team will have notable interviews about the upcoming important tournament. With its reputation, T1 continues to be the focus of this departure ceremony despite the fact that Faker and his teammates this year only arrived at Worlds with the 4th seed.

During this ceremony, T1 also shared with the press a lot of notable information about the team's preparation process and goals before Worlds 2024. For example, coach KkOma expressed special interest in with BLG and believes that this is the biggest rival of T1 in particular and the LCK region in general. As for Faker, the "Demon King" is quite "reserved" when it comes to defending the World Championship championship.

"Defend the world championship? Currently I don't have enough confidence to say that we (T1) will be able to do that. I believe that our goal is more specific and reasonable at Worlds this year. Right now, improving my skills and confidence level is the most important thing. If I win Worlds again, I will choose the champion that fans want to use as a skin, so that has not been decided at this time" - Faker share.

Faker shared "humbly" about defending the world championship: "Defending the world championship? Right now I don't have enough confidence to say that we (T1) will be able to do that." I believe that our more specific and reasonable goal at Worlds this year is to improve our skills and confidence level. If we win Worlds again, I will choose the champion that fans want I want to make costumes so that hasn't been decided yet."

Faker is reasonable with his "modest" goal at Worlds 2024

In fact, Faker's somewhat "humble" comments are extremely reasonable given T1's recent performance. It is important to know that in the recent LCK Summer 2024, T1 failed for the first time in many years to attend the Grand Final. Furthermore, their defeat against a "favorite opponent" like DK in the recent regional qualifier also shows that T1 is having a big problem in terms of strength.

In addition, the newly released T1 documentary also revealed that Faker's "meditation" of closing his eyes was also used to control pain caused by injury. This injury even made it difficult for Faker to do even small actions like wearing a backpack, let alone playing at high intensity. Obviously, with such bad results and injuries, it is understandable that Faker is "humble" about his goal at Worlds 2024.

Recent results and the fact that he is still plagued by injuries make Faker no longer completely confident in T1's successful defense of the world championship.

Of course, with a famous team and a large number of fans like T1, the expectations placed on them will be extremely high. Hopefully in the coming time, T1 will have the best preparations to have a successful tournament and achieve the set goals.
