Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hook, a T1 star, is still out due to an arm injury. Here is everything we know regarding the mid-laner’s recovery and potential LCK comeback. After suffering a right arm injury, Faker is taking a vacation from competition. He first experienced discomfort in the LCK match against BRION on June 17. He continued to play despite the pain for the next two weeks until he disclosed the whole nature of the issue and how it affected his performance on July 2.
To everyone’s astonishment, T1 has become disorganized since Faker left the squad. T1 has not been their usual selves since Challengers mid-laner Yoon ‘Poby’ Seong-won took over. Demonstrating how important Faker is to this team tactically and mechanically. On July 8, when Bae ‘Bengi’ Seong-woong quit as head coach, things became tougher for T1. Since Kim ‘kkOma’ Jeong-Hyun departed the organization at the end of 2019, Im ‘Tom’ Jae-Hyeon has served as the team’s temporary head coach.
Here is what we currently know about Faker’s recovery and when he could return to the Rift, as T1 supporters hope he will soon make a comeback.
T1 Faker’s recovery from an arm injury is when?
Faker’s comeback date is still being determined since T1 has yet to establish a timeline. Bengi claims Faker will be out of commission for at least two weeks. The earliest potential date for Faker’s comeback is July 21, when T1 takes on Hanwha Life Esports. It is known that Faker will not participate in the team’s next game versus Dplus on July 16. Im ‘Tom’ Jae-Hyeon, the head coach of T1, provided an update on Faker’s recovery after the victory on July 14 vs. Nongshim RedForce. Next week, “if he (Faker) feels better, he will play,” he claims. However, Tom also said that the player’s wrist is “a priority,” implying that the team would not take a chance on a setback if he is unhealthy.
Tom said that Faker would continue solo practice the following week after the defeat to Dplus on July 16. “He didn’t play any solo queue this week and is focusing on his treatment,” he is cited as saying by Naver. He’ll train alone the following week and examine his wrist. The squad will speak with him if he’s prepared to play. We need to check up on him.
