When was the last time T1 played without Faker? A look at T1s history with mid lane subs

For over 11 years, Faker has been the League of Legends player T1 has consistently relied on to be the pillar of its starting lineup. This week, though, Faker was moved out of the starting lineup as a consequence of an injury he suffered to his right arm.

Faker said on Sunday, July 2 that he has been experiencing pain in his arm since last month and has been receiving treatment for his condition. On July 5, T1 kicked off the second round robin of the 2023 LCK Summer Split, and Faker was not present for the match. The Faker-less match for T1 was the first of its kind in over two years, and without their star in the lineup, the team was promptly disposed of by eighth-place DRX.
