We still live in the age of Faker (T1 vs DK 2025 LCK Playoffs 3set)

Hello, Wish is here guys

With 2025 Worlds is coming, many teams that haven’t yet secured a Worlds ticket are fighting for ticket.

It’s fun to watch thier fight, and it’s big chance for learn thier play

Today we will see a game where teams from the world’s best leagues fight for a Worlds ticket.

And also, we will see how this GOAT can keep in the top.

How Faker lead team to win with this knowledge

1. Understand of lane management

• It’s secret feedback ! if you wanna know this, dm me.

2. Understand of spell (summ) using
3. Always executes the plays the team wants successfully

Alright, let’s dive into the game!

Second point is his using Understanding of spell (summ) using

Faker used TP at 10:00min -> but it’s not good TP for second drake. because there are still 2 minutes until the dragon spawns.

Ok, why Faker used TP at 10:00?

First reason, Next object timer -> If Faker use TP before 10:20, he can use TP for the Herald. T1 already had 1 Drake, T1 considered Herald is more important than the 2nd Drake. so he used TP for this.

Actually, T1 really prefer secure Herald, so Faker chose this dicision.

Finally this TP really connected Herald. and also next TP can use for next Drake or Atakhan (TP time is 4min)

And actually, his next TP was used for the following Drake. This wasn’t just a coincidence , it was all part of Faker’s plan, and T1 trusted him and played around his tempo.

So his understanding of summs made good object set up

2. To match the team’s tempo

T1 really wanna fight when they control around Drake

T1’s reasons for fight

1. Yone no TP, Rumble has TP now
2. They have good vision for fight
3. T1 3 players tempo is really good for fight (Xin, Akali, Leona)

Faker already know this reasons, so he used TP at 10:00

3. Understand of League’s gold

Gold before he base

Before base, he had 1600 gold

And after base, he bought item for Stormsurge

but he already know he can’t make to complete first item before the 2nd Drake. so he chose using TP at 10:00.

Last point is Always executes the plays the team wants successfully

in 3rd drake time, DK kill Sivir. (respawn time — 35s) Drake already spawned, so if DK start Drake, it’s free. (this Drake is rly important for DK)

But by drawing DK’s attention, Faker delayed their Drake start by a lot

This play confused DK’s judgment, and in the end, they made a mistake in their Drake decision.

so T1 was able to win fight, the start was Faker

Ok, let’s see next scene!

DK started Atakhan because DK know Sivir tempo is so bad (maybe it’s last chance for DK win)

but look Faker position, he drew DK’s attention again

Faker bought time until his team arrived, and in the end, by breaking DK’s position, T1 secured yet another win

And the two fight wins ultimately led to the set victory, putting T1 one step away from qualifying for Worlds after taking down DK
