Perhaps by now, T1 fans and especially Faker fans still remember that about a month ago, the “Demon King” encountered a game saboteur while ranking. It turned out that this person was Able – a member of Oh My God, who is currently competing in the LPL. Known for being gentle, this time Faker reported the game saboteur directly while streaming.
Recently, the community was once again stirred when Faker encountered another “feeder” while ranking. But unlike the previous encounter with Able, the “Demon King’s” reaction this time was even more intense. Specifically, during the stream on March 9 (Vietnam time), Faker faced a rank saboteur using Aatrox, feeding with a KDA of 0/16, and constantly demanding to surrender.
After learning that the “culprit” was a player from the LPL, specifically the top laner of Top Esports – a team currently soaring in the LPL Spring 2022, Faker was truly “furious”. He expressed his frustration: “I don’t understand why LPL players are given accounts to rank in Korea. This negatively affects others. And it has been happening since 2015.” “I will stop ranking today if I encounter such trolling again.”
Witnessing Faker’s frustration, international League of Legends fans, and even the LPL community could not sympathize with the actions of that player. Clearly, ranking and gaming in general require seriousness. Moreover, the League of Legends community has always been troubled by issues like game trolling and sabotage… and continually tries to influence Riot to take stricter actions against such cases. As a player himself, that Aatrox user surely understands the annoyance of Faker and the League of Legends community when facing game sabotage.
Notably, Faker encountered the player again in the next match, and this time the player performed well. According to some viewers, this even made Faker more frustrated. It was like “So you were sabotaging the game just because you felt like it? While I was here trying hard and you weren’t happy so you sabotaged the game?”.
With Faker’s strong statement this time, many players hope that Riot will pay attention because the “Demon King” simply represents the entire League of Legends community. Moreover, the community is increasingly frustrated with Riot’s sluggish handling of violations while buggy updates appear continuously and skins for players to “spill blood” are released regularly throughout the year.
