On the ‘Monte & Wolf Show,’ Wolf said of Poby, "To put it nicely, he is pretty green." One of LCK’s casters, Wolf “Wolf” Schröder, recently expressed doubt about Poby’s ability to compete in the League. The 17-year old mid-laner has an average of a 1.6 KDA in LCK Challengers 2023 this summer, with T1 Challengers currently being second-to-the-last place at this point with a 2-6 win-loss record.

T1 addressed the fans' concerns, saying, "though we were aware of the many concerns for Faker, we hope that you understand that the announcement was done at this time as it had to align with the reveal of the roster entry for today's match and it was also part of the team's strategy."įaker is also set to compete at the Asian Games in September, where he is part of the starting roster of South Korea’s LoL national team, so fans are hoping for his return before then.įaker will be replaced by T1 academy player Yoon “Poby” Sung-won. In addition, T1 assured everyone that Faker would be provided with the finest physical therapy treatments and be invited to participate in rehabilitation programs. How long Faker will be out of action is anyone's guess, but T1 has said the player is committed to getting well "to make his return to the regular season of the 2023 LCK Summer Split." While there were thankfully no major abnormalities in the X-rays and MRI results, it had been decided that the LoL legend needed to take a break so he can focus on treatment and recovery. The statement also mentioned that Faker “showed symptoms of pain in his right arm and hand” and went to the hospital to get a better picture of his condition when his condition didn’t improve.

According to the announcement, Faker will be missing the Wednesday match of T1 against DRX.
