Faker’s remarks leave fans feeling bittersweet for the G.O.A.T of League of Legends
In a recent match against DRX, Faker achieved his second pentakill of his career. In an environment where teams play with discipline, even willing to avoid fights to maintain advantages and respond quickly to situations, obtaining a pentakill is quite challenging. Furthermore, Faker secured this pentakill with his main champion featured in his Hall of Legends skin line, and doing so just after his birthday made this highlight even more meaningful. However, upon hearing Faker’s comments, many viewers felt a pang of sadness.

Specifically, the day Faker made his pentakill coincidentally fell on Parents’ Day in South Korea (May 8). Therefore, in his interview, Faker mentioned: “I feel like I will be a very wonderful son to my parents.”
However, almost everyone who follows League of Legends knows that Faker has only lived with his father and grandmother since childhood, as his mother left due to financial difficulties in the past. Thus, Faker’s comments not only reflect his understanding but also leave many fans heartbroken over his lack of maternal affection. Yet, this only increases admiration for the “G.O.A.T of the League of Legends scene,” as he has grown into a remarkable person without the love of a mother and serves as a role model for other players in terms of professionalism and decorum.

– His parents will always be proud of him
– How could they not be proud to have a son who represents the whole esports community?
– His parents must be incredibly proud. My mother often compares me to him since she watched him play at MSI 2023 with me
Faker and T1 Are Showing Impressive Form
After a series of dramas, it seems that T1 is truly making a comeback. In the recent match against DRX, not only was Faker’s pentakill a highlight, but the entire team’s effort to protect Gumayusi also made fans erupt with excitement. Currently, the state of the T1 players is looking very good.
In the context where HLE and Gen.G are demonstrating devastating form, T1’s return is timely and essential to make the race in the 2025 Regular Season even more thrilling.
