Coach KkOma's Comeback to T1 Strikes Fear into LPL Media
The League of Legends community is abuzz with official news of Coach KkOma and Faker reuniting at T1 for the upcoming 2024 season. This has ignited high hopes among fans, especially after T1's victory in the 2023 Worlds. Many envision a 'Golden Road' with a 'Grand Slam title' for T1. However, concerns arise, particularly from LCK's arch-rivals, the LPL.
It's evident that the upcoming season for T1 will blend two of the greatest legends in the League of Legends scene, one as a player (Faker) and the other as a coach (Coach KkOma). This duo boasts an unparalleled record in their roles and holds a deep understanding of T1's path to glory. Notably, Coach KkOma trails behind Faker by just one Worlds championship.
Furthermore, according to LPL media, Coach KkOma's intimidation stems from his reliance on team synergy rather than individual superstars. LPL media recalls instances where Coach KkOma benched Faker for most of the ASIAD tournament, despite Faker's status as KkOma's prized pupil.
Moreover, LPL media fears a recurrence of history. In 2013, Faker and Coach KkOma led SKT T1 to victory over LPL's pride, Royal Club, in the World Championship finals, establishing a 'Red Dynasty' and cementing LCK's dominance until 2018. This year, T1 defeated an LPL team to claim the World Championship. With their roster intact, T1 promises to be even more formidable.
Two individuals in two positions have come together to recreate the 'SKT T1 Dynasty' of yesteryears, now united under the T1 banner. Both the League of Legends audience in general and T1 fans in particular can dream of a reign of dominance akin to what they experienced in the past.
