On April 2nd (Vietnam time), the LCK Spring 2022 finals concluded with T1 emerging victorious. The all-star lineup of Gen.G Esports was unable to stop the power of the perfect team led by Faker. With this victory, T1 became the champions of LCK Spring 2022. This is the first LCK championship title for Keria, Oner, Zeus, and Gumayusi, as well as the 10th championship for T1 and Faker.
However, while his teammates posted heartfelt photos and messages that moved the audience, “Chairman” Faker left fans shocked and amused by his … “blandness.” Specifically, with the photo celebrating his 10th championship, which is also the first time in exactly 2 years that Faker had the chance to touch the precious LCK trophy, the “Chairman” only posted a short caption of 2 words: “우승” (Korean for “Victory”) along with the hashtag “#V10.”
Indeed, Faker is perhaps one of the most taciturn players on social media and even in interviews or statements regarding professional matters or everyday life. At 26 years old, Faker rarely engages with social media. Even when streaming, he seldom interacts continuously with fans, mostly focusing on the game itself.
Faker’s post attracted attention from the League of Legends community. Many expressed amusement but also took the opportunity to poke fun at Faker, commenting that perhaps he’s so used to winning that this title is just “another day at the office.”
Of course, for Faker, every championship is meaningful and very important. Moreover, this is the first title that the “Demon King” has achieved after 2 years that can be seen as a low point in his career. At the same time, this championship also helps Faker equal the achievement of LCK championships with his former coach kkOma. Therefore, while Faker’s personality may be like that, deep down, he is likely the happiest person because his efforts during difficult times have been rewarded appropriately.
