Two weeks after their home-ground win, T1 met Gen.G Esports again. A victory was vital for the standings race against Hanwha Life, but T1 ultimately came up short. Even in defeat, mid laner Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok chose to emphasize the positives, noting the squad’s steady progress and promising teamwork—and forecasting stronger results in future encounters.

August 7, 2025, Jongno LoL Park. Following T1’s 1–2 loss to Gen.G, Faker spoke to media about his frustration but also his resolve. He admitted the setback hurt, but stressed it was a game they realistically could have claimed.

Looking back on the match, he acknowledged how upsetting the result was, yet insisted it was entirely within their grasp. He pinpointed lapses here and there that let Gen.G seize an early lead, which snowballed into the final outcome.

Still, he viewed the experience as constructive. Faker remarked that despite today’s scoreline, the team uncovered clear opportunities to sharpen their play and noted that their in-game coordination is starting to gel. He closed with a promise to fans: they’ll continue to put on a show, and he’s confident the next time around will be more favorable.
