Since becoming a name in the world of League of Legends, Faker’s reputation has grown and with it, his influence at T1 specifically, and in the LCK as well as the global League of Legends and esports scene in general. It can be said that Faker’s name has now transcended the realm of League of Legends. Moreover, over time, the name Faker has only become more famous, showing no signs of slowing down.
Alongside this fame are massive advertising contracts with Faker as the brand ambassador. This is likely not surprising to those who regularly follow Faker and T1 members. The “Demon King” can be said to be a familiar partner of many prestigious global brands across various fields, from technology (phones), electronics (monitors) to food (Faker has advertised ice cream, fast food…) and even automobiles.
Recently, Faker appeared incredibly cool in a photo shoot for the world-renowned automobile brand BMW. In fact, the photos of Faker shared on social media caused a stir in the League of Legends community, attracting numerous players, commentators, hosts, and famous KOLs in League of Legends to comment excitedly.
But the class of “Chairman” Faker is also shown in his personal posts. Specifically, he maintains his “saltless” posting style with short and concise statuses, but recently, Faker made everyone admire. He posted a picture looking incredibly cool with a BMW car behind him along with the status: “내꼬” (Mine), attracting over 53k likes from fans. This is likely a gift that the car brand has prepared for Faker – their brand ambassador.
Previously, during his 10th LCK championship, Faker also posted a similarly “saltless” message, even though he had long been looking forward to this championship. The “Demon King” celebrated his championship with just two Korean characters translating to “Victory” along with the hashtag #V10. Many fans even teased that winning the championship is probably too normal for the “Chairman,” so he cannot express much anymore.
But no matter how “bland” it is, Faker remains an extremely hot name in the League of Legends scene today. And perhaps, with his influence, even if the status is “bland,” fans are still ready to interact with the “Chairman.”
