Faker had a surprising revelation about himself.
In the world of League of Legends, and perhaps in Esports as a whole, one of the most popular names is undoubtedly Faker. Not only male gamers but also a significantly larger number of female fans span across the globe. The reasons are many, from his competitive achievements to his good looks. Having been built up as the visual icon of T1 for nearly a decade, it’s easy to understand why Faker has a fanbase that surpasses even his T1 teammates. However, Faker himself does not think so.
Accordingly, Faker was asked about the increasing number of players openly revealing their relationships and how that affects him. Contrary to the majority’s thoughts, Faker stated: “I don’t really think about it much. Those players don’t go around bragging about their girlfriends. Besides, I have the look of a true ‘nerd.’ I don’t think that would attract girls.”
Faker’s Revelation Leaves His Fans Amused
In reality, the number of female fans Faker has can be said to be among the largest in the League of Legends community and Esports as a whole. In South Korea, whenever Faker or T1 has a special event, nearly all interactions are from female fans. Moreover, in fan meetings or T1 matches, fangirls significantly outnumber male fans. And Faker is the factor that creates those scenes.
– That’s right, fans don’t dislike Faker, they just worship him.
– If girls don’t like Faker, then I must be a man.
– Faker’s words really break my heart.
Furthermore, Faker’s “nerdy” image, combined with his seriousness towards his profession, professional demeanor, and increasingly refined appearance, are all advantages for fans. This has further enhanced Faker’s image, attracting more attention from fans, especially female fans.
