Yoon “Pobi” Sung-won will start for the Challengers.
Yoon “Fobby” Seong-won will start as the mid laner for the T1 Challengers against the Live Sandbox Youth at WDG Esports Studio in Jung-gu, Seoul on November 31. It will be his first Challengers appearance since joining the T1 LCK team as a replacement for Lee “Faker” Sang-hyuk, who complained of arm pain on May 5. With Yoon “Faker” Seong-won dropping back to the second team, attention is naturally focused on the possibility of Lee “Faker” Sang-hyuk returning to the starting lineup.

T1 is currently locked into fifth place in the LCK, but the team is in desperate need of Lee “Faker” Sang-hyuk’s return as they have faltered in recent matches. Acting head coach Lim Jae-hyun also commented on Lee’s return, saying, 먹튀검증 “We are preparing for the playoffs, and I think he can come back before then.” There were observations that he should return in Week 9, which is naturally ahead of the playoffs, and there were also opinions that timing his return to Week 9 would help him adapt to the playoff version of the game, 13.14, since the game will be played from Week 9.

If he does join the team in Week 9, his return will be on Wednesday, August 2 at 5 p.m. when T1 takes on the Guangdong Freecs. It will be interesting to see if Lee can return to full fitness, and if so, whether he can rescue T1 from the brink.
