Faker Breaks Tradition for the First Time in His Career
Perhaps for the League of Legends community, whether they have followed Faker for a long time or just recently, everyone understands an immutable principle of the “Demon King”: not to be influenced by romantic relationships. In fact, Faker has strictly adhered to this by avoiding overly intimate contact with women, whether they are fans, KOLs, or celebrities. However, recently, Faker has broken this rule due to a promise made to his fans before the World Championship and “helped” a lucky girl appear on his stream.
According to Faker’s fans, this was a “commitment” from Faker to his followers before starting his journey to defend the championship at the 2025 World Championship, stating that if T1 wins, he would invite a fan to join his stream. The lucky girl is just an ordinary fan and she has become the first non-KOL, non-celebrity girl to appear on Faker’s stream in his entire career up to this point.
Additionally, during this stream, T1 fans and perhaps the League of Legends community in general had a chance to “celebrate” as the vote count for the T1 Galio skin for next year completely dominated the second-place choice of Mel. Previously, many felt “disappointed” when Faker showed signs of choosing Mel for his skin. While Galio has been with Faker through thick and thin, notably, he used this champion to secure victories in both deciding matches at the 2024 and 2025 World Championships.
Therefore, during last year’s selection for the World Championship skin, many fans expressed regret when he chose Sylas and Yone while Galio was “left out”. Yone is a champion that Faker is not very comfortable with, while Sylas does not have many standout effects.
However, at the end of the stream, Faker released another skin vote link and this time, Mel won overwhelmingly, leaving many T1 fans “stunned”. Many opinions hope that Faker is just “joking” and are eagerly awaiting the Galio skin for next year.
Faker and his teammates’ World Championship skins for next year will be highly anticipated
With the information revealed, it can be seen that the T1 players are also very uncertain about which champions will receive the 2025 World Championship skins. However, this will also bring a certain excitement and anticipation from the fan community, especially as T1 is the team using the most champions at this World Championship.
