Many argue that LPL has been unfair in MVP selection for Faker.
Throughout T1's journey at the 2022 World Championship, Faker's role has been immense. Not only as the captain and leader of the young T1 squad, but Faker has also been one of the brightest stars with performances reminiscent of his early career. It can be said that T1's success at the 2022 Worlds owes much to their legendary captain.
Despite shining in numerous matches, Faker has only clinched the MVP title once, in the match against EDward Gaming in the Group Stage. The other two MVPs for T1 at Worlds 2022 were secured by Gumayusi and Keria.
The fact that Faker has fewer MVP awards at Worlds 2022 has been used by some viewers and LPL media to undervalue T1's captain. However, many T1 fans argue that Faker secured 3 MVPs in T1's matches in the LCK, as chosen by experts there. Yet, in the LPL region, no one has voted Faker as MVP in those matches.
In reality, different regions will have varying thoughts and opinions when selecting MVPs. Even within a team, debates over MVP choices are common. However, regarding Faker, many believe that the LPL region is undermining his role in the T1 lineup. Some fans even suggest that even the commentators during T1's matches often lack objectivity in their remarks.
Nevertheless, Faker's role and influence on T1 at Worlds 2022 are indisputable. Up next, his opponent will be Zeka - a young player who has been performing exceptionally well at Worlds 2022. In that scenario, Faker's performance will undoubtedly be a crucial factor influencing the outcome of this historic final match.
