Zeka is taking a lesson from Faker into Worlds 2026: staying composed when a game becomes difficult. The Hanwha Life Esports midlaner highlighted the veteran’s leadership after playing alongside him at the Asian Games.
Learning to lead under pressure
What stood out was Faker’s ability to remain focused, recognise the right play and guide his teammates through tense situations. Zeka also remembered calls he would not have considered himself.
That experience gave him a close look at how an experienced teammate can influence a game beyond individual mechanics.
HLE aim beyond the quarterfinals
Zeka believes HLE’s individual and collective form can help them move beyond the Worlds quarterfinals, a stage the organisation has previously failed to clear.
The tournament also marks his return to the United States four years after winning Worlds with DRX. Now an MSI champion with HLE, he is pursuing another Summoner’s Cup — with a few lessons from Faker along the way.
