T1, one of the most hyped League of Legends rosters of 2023, currently sits in third place of the LCK with a 6-2 record. The team has not been performing well, now most viewers and fans have started to wonder whether this roster will be able to go all the way to the Worlds finals.
Ten years ago, Faker won his first League of Legends World Championship and until now he's managed to take home three World Championship trophies, never having finished worse than the semi-finals.
Have you ever wondered how much Faker makes?
But recently, an arm injury has gotten in the way of the mid lane legend to play to his best ability. According to Faker he's been suffering from an arm injury since early on in the season.
He revealed that he's been suffering from an arm injury since the time the team faced off against OKSavingsBank BRION on June 17, 2023. He is currently getting treatment for the injury though, but he also explained that he isn't sure when it'll be fully healed.
He is also going to go to the hospital soon to get it treated and have a full diagnosis.
The team is currently in talks with Faker to see where they're going to go from here. T1's Academy roster is in second-last place with a 2-6 record, so some fans believe T1 is having issues finding a backup for Faker, if he does have to take a break.
Faker is also set to be part of the Korean Asian Games roster and would have to be ready for Worlds 2023 if T1 qualifies. With all the success Faker has seen throughout his career he has had little breaks between seasons, so fans are especially concerned about this injury.
T1 and Faker will be playing their next match on Wednesday, July 5, 2023 against DRX.
