Faker’s Surprising Appearance in Orianna’s Spirit
It has been a long time since T1 and Faker received as much attention as they do now in 2024, after becoming the 2023 World Championship champions. Not only that, but Riot has also organized many activities to honor Faker’s career, notably the release of Faker’s Hall of Legends skin, followed by T1’s World Championship skin as usual. Additionally, another somewhat unexpected factor is that T1’s performance was not very good during the 2024 LCK Summer Split.
Recently, Riot has continued to release Orianna’s Spirit (including 2 versions), and players have discovered a very interesting element that Riot integrated into Faker’s signature champion.
According to that, in Orianna’s animations, if players observe closely, they will see Faker’s silhouette with the familiar “thumb up” gesture. However, next to Faker is a silhouette that seems to belong to the champion Ahri. Nevertheless, for those who have regularly followed Faker’s images, the implied silhouette that Riot embedded in Orianna’s Spirit will not come as a surprise. It is indeed the pose Faker struck nearly 2 years ago with a beautiful female cosplayer at T1 Con 2022.
The Identity of Ahri Who Was “Rejected” by Faker
When the incident occurred, many viewers went to great lengths to search for the identity of the female cosplayer who was “rejected” by Faker. And she was quickly found out, not at all unfamiliar, as she is Nari – a cosplayer, streamer, and content creator. In real life, Nari pursues a sexy and free-spirited style and is quite a prominent name in the land of kimchi.
However, perhaps Nari at that time and T1 fans are no longer surprised. Nari is not the first name to be “rejected” by Faker, as many beautiful hot girls and female hosts of LCK as well as the global League of Legends scene have also been “ignored” by Faker. This has even been seen as a characteristic of Faker when he checks in with pretty girls, especially since the Demon King always asserts that he is entirely devoted to League of Legends.
