Perhaps Faker’s charitable acts in the League of Legends scene are no longer a surprise. As a legend among legends, a monument in League of Legends and Esports in general, Faker is also known for his kindness and simplicity, living frugally. In fact, according to some information, Faker still uses YouTube normally like everyone else, accepting to watch advertisements occasionally that pop up during clips just because he doesn’t think the paid YouTube subscription is necessary.
According to Faker’s grandmother, who revealed in a book about her grandson back in July 2021, Faker had donated tens of millions of won since March 2020 to charity and disease prevention funds, including 10 million won to support neighbors affected by COVID-19.
Therefore, the news that Faker recently donated 50 million won (approximately over 950 million VND) to the Seoul Social Welfare Fund to support the campaign against the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic initiated by this fund is not surprising. Everyone knows that the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea specifically and worldwide in general is still complex. As a well-known figure for his kindness, Faker certainly cannot stand aside.
However, it’s worth mentioning that Faker’s actions have stirred the League of Legends community at the beginning of the year. 50 million won is certainly not a small amount, and Faker’s actions quickly garnered attention and admiration from League of Legends fans worldwide. Even in the LPL – the rival region of the LCK, the audience there also had to “tip their hats” in respect for the heart of “Brother Li” Faker.
But there are also fans who immediately suggested that Faker… change his phone.
At this time, Faker is preparing to enter the new 2022 season with T1. For the “Demon King”, his highest goal is undoubtedly to sweep all the titles, especially the fourth World Championship title in his career. Additionally, he will also potentially represent the South Korean League of Legends team at the upcoming 2022 Asian Games. The upcoming journey will be incredibly challenging, but certainly, Faker is mentally prepared and ready to overcome all obstacles as he has always done throughout his career.
