Events may pass, but exchanging jerseys with a player considered the greatest of all time? That’s a moment to cherish forever.
Even with the MSI 2025 championship at stake, Flandre finds himself longing for something uniquely gratifying: a jersey from Faker, a selfie with Ruler, and a fan experience with some of the best players in the history of League of Legends esports.
«The thing I’m most excited about right now is the possibility of doing a jersey swap with T1. That’s something I deeply care about,» Flandre expressed during a discussion with LCSProfiles. «Shanks, our mid laner, and I are huge fans of Faker. We’ve been working hard and pushing ourselves for the chance to exchange jerseys with T1 and Faker.»
Faker has become a legendary figure in League of Legends, and whenever T1 secures a spot in an international tournament, it gives Riot games a reason to celebrate, as countless fans flock to the streams to witness the most decorated player in the game’s history. Among Faker’s admirers are professional players like Flandre and Shanks, who look up to his legacy and dream of acquiring some memorabilia from him.
If Faker is occupied and unable to take a selfie, Flandre has Ruler lined up for a potential jersey exchange and to capture a moment on the sidelines of MSI 2025. Nevertheless, should Shanks get the chance to swap jerseys with Faker first, Flandre has admitted he will feel «jealous» but will still settle for a photo with the GOAT.
The current team had their initial match against FlyQuest, where they triumphed with a score of 3-1 over the North American representatives. Flandre was particularly eager to compete against Bwipo in the top lane and complimented his crafty pick strategies, which have become a staple in the latest Fearless Draft format.
Flandre was part of the Worlds-winning team, EDward Gaming, in 2021. He also claimed victory in the Demacia Cup 2024 and recently won the LPL Split 2 in 2025, securing his team’s place in MSI 2025. The upcoming match will see them face the reigning LCK champions, Gen.G, in the upper bracket. If everything goes as planned, they could achieve an upset and set up a potential match against T1, provided Faker and his team overcome their next two challengers.
