MSI 2025 Player Compares Faker to a “God”
For players, especially young stars or those from smaller regions, participating in MSI or the World Championship is an opportunity that doesn’t come easily. Not only is it a chance to gain experience from the top professional League of Legends teams, but for many players, it’s also an opportunity to witness or even compete against idols they never thought they would encounter. For HongQ, facing Faker at MSI 2025 could be a treasured memory in his career, as the young star from CFO recently shared.

Accordingly, HongQ happened to cross paths with Faker while passing by at the MSI 2025 venue, where the CFO star admitted: “Faker truly has the aura of a god of war. The charisma is undeniable, and anyone would turn to look at him a few times if they had the chance to meet him.”
In reality, HongQ’s reaction is not surprising at all. Faker has always been regarded as the most popular player in professional League of Legends, with many of his fans being professional players, KOLs, casters, and more. At any event related to League of Legends, Faker’s appearance is always highly anticipated, and he is also the player most often asked for check-ins among those attending such events.

Faker Will Truly Need to “Become a God” at MSI 2025
One undeniable fact is that in T1’s two consecutive World Championship titles, Faker always had at least one play that could go down in League of Legends history, helping his team turn defeat into victory. His performance at World Championships has been remarkable, especially considering that Faker is now among the oldest players in every tournament he participates in.

The MSI arena is where T1 has gone empty-handed since 2017. Perhaps, T1 fans are also eagerly hoping that Faker will “become a god” in this year’s tournament and help OFGK complete their trophy collection with this missing championship.
