Faker was also surprised to witness Riot's fierce move.

Riot is determined to eliminate Meta on the road but make Faker "dumbfounded"

Sometimes, Riot announced the new and most notable updates among them that this NPH is determined to eliminate the Meta of the Meta, which has dominated the professional League of Legends from MSI 2024 to the present. In particular, Riot also provides the whole road warning system and increases the amount of damage of the single road. And recently, Faker has become a "victim" in an attempt to change Meta in Riot's professional League of Legends.

Riot is determined to eliminate the island meta.

Specifically, when Faker tested Riot's new road anti -reversing mechanism, he used Rengar and tried to attack the top lane. However, when Faker had just moved to the top lane and had damage to the opponent's general, the system had a warning. And at the time Faker wanted to perform the tape, the result was shot 3900 blood and was defeated.

Faker himself was also surprised.

It was Faker after this situation that was also very surprised. Perhaps he also knew that the current head damage was very strong if the opponent intended to reverse the road or perform the tape, but it could be "One-shot" immediately really out of the expected of G.O.A.T.

Perhaps Faker also studied updated but Riot's actions were more fierce than he thought.

But this change may benefit Faker and T1 itself

In fact, having to combine the island and Fearless Draft (if any) has made T1 face many difficulties in the last LCK Cup 2025 phase. They not only lose the road in all three routes if they meet strong opponents, but Faker themselves also lose their options, suitable for his current play.

T1 will be able to return to the stage where they set an unbeaten record by 2022.

In the case of the ending island game, T1 will be able to return to the "Win Lane Win Game" game based on the BOT pair of the world's strongest way of traveling in the world today - Gumayusi and Keria. This also reduces the pressure load on the top or mid lane as well as easy to create a premise for the snow -rolling down the lower wing of the T1 to be made more efficient and thoroughly.
