Peanut Mentions Faker on Stream
One of the most talked-about farewells in the League of Legends community in 2025 has to be Peanut’s official retirement. After decades of dedication and contribution to League of Legends, the departure of “Little Peanut” from his player career was anticipated but still left fans feeling nostalgic. However, Peanut is currently quite relaxed as the transfer market is buzzing. Recently, the former HLE star brought up his close friend Faker on his stream channel.
Accordingly, the former HLE captain stated: “In the life of a professional gamer, being able to compete for a long time is one thing, but maintaining peak performance to play well for an extended period is another. That’s why Sang-hyeok (Faker) is on a completely different level. No, seriously, his career is truly insane. Of course, it’s hard to believe. It’s like – how can he win three World Championships in a row?”.
Faker’s Career Is Probably Unwriteable Even in Comics or Novels
It’s not just now that people have started discussing Faker’s “incredible” achievements; even last year, when he became the first person to successfully defend his World Championship title twice, it was enough to leave the League of Legends community in shock. According to some fans, even in the most fantastical novels, a character achieving feats like Faker’s would be hard to construct logically without some kind of “cheat buff”.
Thanks to his perseverance and effort, Faker’s stature today, both in League of Legends and even more broadly in Esports, is hard for anyone to match. And when the day comes that Faker truly steps away from the professional arena, it will be a sad day and an immeasurable loss for League of Legends specifically and Esports in general.
