Faker, Keria highlights

T1 opened its 2026 Home Ground weekend by beating Hanwha Life Esports 2-0 on Friday, April 25, at Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon. (invenglobal.com 1) (invenglobal.com 2) The event is part of T1’s 2026 LCK Road Show Home Ground series, which T1 promoted for April 24-26 at Inspire Arena and again for August 14-16 at KSPO Dome. (youtube.com) Game 1 lasted more than 48 minutes, which Keria said was the longest game of the League of Legends Champions Korea season so far. He said T1 did not show its level early and had to keep adjusting against Hanwha Life’s aggressive early-to-mid game. (invenglobal.com) Inven’s match report said T1 survived after Oner stole Baron and Keria’s Neeko found a catch on Ezreal near Elder Dragon, swinging the final fight. The report described both games as close until the end. (invenglobal.com) Keria was named Player of the Match and said the crowd helped T1 recover. He also said Inspire Arena “seems to be a place that suits me well” after winning Player of the Match there again. (invenglobal.com) His Game 2 Morgana became the standout draft note from the series. Keria said he had not played the champion in a while, but called it a pick he has “always been confident in.” (invenglobal.com) Career stats tracked by Games of Legends list Morgana as one of Keria’s more successful niche supports, with an 11-game sample and a 72.7% win rate. Those same stats show Tahm Kench at 73.2%, Bard at 76.3%, and Lux at 82.4% across his recorded pro games. (gol.gg) The Faker milestone in the background is straightforward: six thousand assists is a running total of kills a player helped create, not finish. In an April 19 interview, Faker said he was four assists away from becoming the first player in LCK history to reach 6,000. (invenglobal.com) That left T1’s Home Ground weekend carrying two parallel storylines at once: a home-arena win built on Keria’s support play, and Faker closing on another league first. The crowd got both. (invenglobal.com 1) (invenglobal.com 2)
