Peyz shares surprising thoughts on Faker after joining T1

Joining T1 meant stepping into the locker room with one of the most celebrated players in League of Legends history, a scenario that naturally comes with high expectations. For Peyz, his initial experiences with the team challenged many preconceived notions he had about Faker from an outsider’s perspective.

“I thought Faker would have a really cold image, but he actually jokes around a lot, and he’s actually funny, so that part was different from what I expected,” Peyz shared in an interview.

Despite Faker’s impressive list of achievements and numerous accolades, the star mid laner continues to lead through effective communication and by setting a strong example, leaving a significant impact on his new teammate. While it can be daunting for a young talent to integrate with a veteran like him, Peyz’s observations indicate that Faker’s friendly demeanor has helped ease that transition, fostering a welcoming team atmosphere.

Following Gumayusi’s unexpected exit earlier this year, Peyz made his return to the LCK from the LPL to join a star-studded T1 lineup. While some fans anticipated a period of adjustment, Peyz has fit in effortlessly, picking up right where he left off during his time with Gen.G, contributing to T1’s trophy haul.

As a relatively young AD carry who has already clinched an MSI title and several domestic championships, Peyz has demonstrated a level of composure and consistency that belies his age. He’s well-known for his pentakills and currently holds the record with 12, trailing only HolyPhoenix, a statistic that highlights his potential to carry games.

With the competitive schedules for 2025 wrapped up, T1 and the other LCK teams have concluded their seasons with the KeSPA Cup 2025. As the holiday break approaches, teams will shift their focus to rest and prepare for the LCK Cup in 2026.
