Over the past couple of weeks, we saw quite a few big names in the League of Legends professional scene confirming their official retirements. However, that does not even come close to the information we have obtained after Inven Global’s interview with Team MVP’s top laner, Kang “ADD” Geon-mo. It seems the biggest LoL player in the entire scene, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, has not been even practicing with SK Telecom T1.

In the second match of the 2018 LCK Summer Split Day 8, MVP played against SKT T1. Everyone was shocked when SKT came out with a completely new lineup which did not feature Band, Wolf and their most popular player, Faker. This was completely out of the ordinary as these players have been the sole reason behind SKT’s previous victories. Hence, what followed was quite expected. SKT lost.

This was very confusing as neither the team nor the players came out with an announcement regarding this random lineup change. And they still haven’t. However, after an interview with one of SKT’s opposing team, MVP. It is now confirmed that Faker has not been even practicing with his current team.

“I looked up the players’ solo queue records and tried to find what they were good at. I predicted that other players could be starting because Faker wasn’t playing in the scrims.” – Kang “ADD” Geon-mo

Now, this is quite unexpected as Faker has been a part of SKT since the very start and with him going AWOL comes as a complete shock to everyone who follows the League of Legends professional scene. No one really knows what the problem between the two is but from what it seems, we think Faker might be interested in playing from another team. But this is just our speculation. Let us know what you think of this down below:
