Sad that Bengi left us. The right hand of Faker we love for supporting him trough all his world trophies. Even though he is supporting us from a distance now, the knowledge and atmosphere he gave Oner and the rest is remaining meaningful.

Without Bengi in the first place it could have happened that they change roaster and last year due to worse results or other things causing a butterfly effect.

Maybe he saw that Tom is doing the job in a good manner making him feel more free to leave when it got too much of a burdenand responsibility for him. I think that caused Kkoma coming back. As T1 won worlds they are less pressured and he does not feel to guilty for 2017 Draft and decisions anymore as they redeemed themselves. The expectations of T1 are high and remain high though.

The issue is that T1 always has so high skilled Players that the coaches feel responsible when they lose important titles. It is a tough role to be in with high expactions. It seems to hit the friendliest and compassioned ones the most. Coach Kim and Daeny dont seem to mind. Despite knowledge they both created the most unfun and stressing atmosphere.

Daeny is happy how T1 in sync with Faker so much in a interview making me wonder why he did not try Oner Faker earlier as both top and both bot were pretty awesome. Clozer a downgrade though, but Faker seemed to have equipment issues according to him (I believe him though. Maybe some games it was like that at least). Coach Kim played Clozer on less important games though being still being weird stopping synergy being build. Who dont know how much scim time Clozer took too. Still, as we see Faker getting an injury. Maybe they did the right thing benching Faker some time and we were just unlucky in important matches and some meta shifts coupled with not optimal drafts lol.

My whole perspective and salt about the past and everything change by this year. We won worlds with an amazing story. I was again proven right in many aspects in the past. Faker won asia games giving him so much freedom to decide for its future and gaining 2 years to play back.

Imagine more World wins and maybe seeing a Faker tearing up of happiness seeing results as his past self being way above everyone. The plays, draft priority and time without Faker all show how important he is to those high achievment as having a silver road if you swap LCK Spring 2022 with LCK Spring 2023 :^)
