After swinging important information about the future of Ruler, Gumayusi gave some details about the future of his captain during another stream. The future of the greatest player in the history of the game was still uncertain, as his contract was coming to an endand had not yet been officially renewed. It was enough for rumors exile Faker to North America, or Chinabut its final destination will surprise anyone. The midlaner should once again wear the jersey of the T1 for the 2023 season.
A quiet announcement
During his stream, his viewers asked the ADC if he was excited about the announcements the T1 team is due to make next Monday. The iconic structure said it would announce its full roster for 2023 on November 28. Only Gumayusi responded with disconcerting naturalness:
“If I’m hyped? Is there anything to announce?”
The AD carry quickly recovered by adding
“No, no I didn’t say anything!”
It was enough for his cat to go crazy. Most fans therefore understood that this meant that the team would not change in 2023, and that the five T1 players would stay one more season. If this interpretation seems the most credible, the possibility that Gumayusi is trolling cannot be ruled out.
Nevertheless, if this possibility exists, it is a safe bet that it would have been done so as to raise the hype, rather than lowering it. Hence the fact that the leak seems correct, and that therefore Faker will play well again under the colors of T1. Even though it was obvious that he wouldn’t be probably never been to a competing team in LCKhe could have been tempted by an adventure in another region.
The sad implications of this decision
However, do not think that this decision is only good. Doinb had announced on stream that if Faker left T1, he would go outside to dance for 10 hours without interruption. So here we are deprived of a spectacle that would have been very entertaining.
