Rekkles Reveals the Secrets Behind T1’s Success with Faker
As known recently, T1 has made a stunning appearance in Europe, participating in the RedBull League and competing in showmatches against various teams in the region. Particularly, the “newcomer” Rekkles has also seized the opportunity to reunite with his former T1 teammates. Notably, during the match between T1 and Karmine Corp, Rekkles took on the role of Untara, along with his T1 teammates, showcasing a heartfelt performance.
Moreover, Rekkles has shared insights about T1 as well as other team members. According to him, Rekkles emphasized that Faker possesses an admirable talent, which can be exemplified by his exceptional ability to read the game. “When playing with Faker, I initially thought he would observe every move carefully, noticing the slight nuances, learning how to solve problems; everything seemed like a meticulous process where you only needed to input the command to achieve success,” he stated.
“As for T1, the teams will definitely be more involved in discussions than the coach. And Keria is a pivotal figure within T1. Although he is just a support player, when discussions happen, that player is often treated like the coach of the team. We can say that Keria is the center of strategic decisions within T1. For instance, when Keria suggests a new champion, like Renata for example, T1 will consider how to play effectively,” Rekkles shared.
Rekkles’ Insights on T1 and Faker’s Foundation for Success
In short, the period when T1 triumphed is closely related to the unique selections made in the Lower Division, especially in the meta of Support Champions. The matches where Keria was highly rated showed that he could greatly enhance T1’s playstyle. Conversely, when Keria felt uncomfortable (like during the period leading up to the 2024 World Championship), T1 immediately encountered issues, dragging down the performance of the other team members as well.
Regarding Faker, the legendary player’s observational skills, judgment, and decisive actions are unmatched in the competitive scene. It can be said that T1’s success is a result of their teamwork, which allows them to adapt to the performances of their opponents.
