T1 players Faker and Gumayusi showcase casting skills during preseason tournament
Last December, T1 players Faker and Gumayusi impressed fans of League of Legends by showcasing their casting abilities during a preseason Korean tournament. The two joined renowned LCK casters Chun “Caster Jun” Yong-jun and Lee “CloudTemplar” Hyun-woo on the broadcast, providing valuable insights for the viewers.
Faker and Gumayusi are currently two of the most respected and popular players, thanks to T1’s outstanding performance in the 2022 LCK Spring Split. They hold an unbeaten 14-0 record, which has garnered them immense admiration from the community. While their gameplay skills are well-known, fans were thrilled to hear their analysis on the analyst desk. Recently, Reddit user u/kimmmmehy translated their best casting moments, allowing the Western audience to assess their analyst prowess themselves.
During the broadcast, the casters inquired about Faker’s insights and advice on playing the champion Vex, which had gained popularity due to his recent gameplay. However, the legendary player chose to keep his tips and tricks as trade secrets, saving them for T1’s upcoming matches.
The tournament also featured notable players from Korea’s league, such as former KT Rolster top laner Smeb, ex-Afreeca AD carry Sangyoon, and former Afreeca support SnowFlower, adding to the excitement of Faker and Gumayusi’s casting.
Feedback from the video and the Reddit thread indicates the community’s eagerness to see Faker take on a casting or coaching role in the future, once he decides to retire as a professional player. His extensive knowledge and compelling communication skills make him a potential future asset in the esports industry. However, until that day comes, fans can still enjoy Faker’s exceptional gameplay on the Rift.
