Many fans speculated if Faker and T1 would ever make it to the 2023 Worlds Championship as he was injured, but they pulled through since Faker recovered fast!
T1 was always considered a powerful esports team in the League of Legends community, as they were going to achieve victory in the Worlds Championship last year, but an underdog team called DRX bested them and became the first team to win the event from play-ins
