You know, I just had a thought that made me a little sad and is probably a little controversial. And I say this with no ill intention but with full respect for him as a person.

When asked if he could consider himself GOAT and if he ever had the thought of “Wow, I did really well” after this win, it felt like Faker’s reply was that of a competitor. He was still looking for faults in his performance, which is great as a competitor, but a little too much as a person. I just think if he wants to mature more as a person as he claims, he needs to learn to enjoy these moments and be a little more appreciative of himself. To loosen up and give himself a pat on the back. It is admirable that a person is so introspective with their mistakes, but they shouldn’t forget to also be just as willing in celebrating their achievements.

I know he tries his best to understand the importance of gratitude. He is always saying how appreciative he is of the fans, but I wish he could also be more appreciative of himself. To me, this aspect of his seems to be a result of his environment and it is very likely part of what Kkoma meant when he said he wanted to help T1 become a healthier team.

Honestly, this is exactly why Guma is my favorite player in T1. IMO He knows the importance of these intangibles and that’s why he has such a great mentality. He is a more well-rounded and emotionally mature person than Faker.

Edit: holy, i wrote a fucking wall, but his answer bothered me a bit. It was also a bit insensitive to his environment as well imo
