Preface: The S16 season has officially begun, and I believe the vast majority of players have been following the recent matches. In the past few days, there hasn't been much news from the LCK; their games are mostly played by the second teams, and the third split hasn't started yet. Recently, Faker's stream has become a hot topic among netizens. Surprisingly, he, who has rarely bought skins for years, made a big move this time—he purchased the entire set of T1's championship skins. Afterwards, he tested Galio's effects, and during the purchase, he was quite distressed, shouting "My points!" on stream.

Faker spends a fortune to buy the entire T1 skin set

Most players are quite familiar with Faker. As the recognized number one in League of Legends, his popularity and buzz have remained very stable over the years. With multiple World Championship titles, he has reached an unprecedented level. After the intense matches, T1 entered a short break, and Faker started streaming to interact with fans. With the release of T1's championship skins, Lee Sang-hyeok, who hasn't bought skins for years, showed off his financial power during the stream. Of course, many netizens also questioned: so Faker has to buy them too?

After looking at the championship skin details for a while, Faker became determined to make the purchase. However, right after buying, he felt a bit regretful and cried out on stream: "My points!" Then he started testing the skin. The golden Galio appeared and looked quite distinctive. After trying out all the skills, Faker, being very dedicated, said he couldn't play anymore and had to go back to training. Indeed, the god's self-discipline remains top-notch—after buying the skin, he only glanced at his own and then continued with Korean solo queue.

The third split of the LCK is about to begin. The first match on the 29th will be between T1 and KT, once again a telecom war. The second day will feature GEN vs HLE, the third day GEN vs T1, and the fourth day GEN vs DK. Almost every day there are top-tier matches that fans are eager to watch. The most exciting should be the matches on August 6th, with DK vs T1 and HLE vs GEN in the second round. It feels like the LCK schedule is more clearly arranged than the LPL, with exciting matchups almost every day.

Looking at the overall current state of play, the LCK is still dominated by HLE and GEN. T1's top laner Doran is having serious issues with his rhythm. It feels like T1 and AL are very similar—both teams have significant weaknesses but no players to fill the gaps, and they couldn't make many adjustments during the transfer window. A bold prediction: the World Championship winner this year is likely still from the LCK. After winning the EWC, DK's morale has skyrocketed, and Showmaker's core code has been fully activated—it seems only when the team's funds are depleted can he return to his peak.

Goodbye's view

Actually, I feel the same as many fans—it turns out that Faker's account also needs to buy skins to use them. Previously, I thought Faker had an account with all skins, and that a simple code adjustment from the officials would automatically add new skins to his inventory. I wonder if the points in his account were recharged by himself. Given his personality, they should be free gifts from the officials. But if that's the case, why would he feel distressed spending free points?

What do you, dear viewers, think about this?
