Speaking about Faker at this moment, even though he may not have as many highlight plays or always carry the team, in the League of Legends community, Faker is still an icon. Not only is he respected for his remarkable achievements, but Faker is also regarded as one of the players who maintains a professional demeanor no matter the circumstances.
Recently, a fan attending the match between T1 and Gen.G recorded a clip of Faker answering questions after receiving a double MVP. What is noteworthy is that even after the interview concluded, Faker, after bowing to the female host, still kept the mic in hand and waited for the stage staff to come, returned it, and bowed to the staff member and the audience before heading backstage.
Faker’s actions, though small, fully demonstrate the demeanor of a professional player: no matter how high they rise, they still respect those who contribute to their performances, even if it’s just a regular backstage staff member. This is a simple action that can sometimes be easily overlooked just because it seems too trivial and few bother to pay attention.
Faker will always be like this, whether he is just a rookie or has become an immortal icon in the League of Legends scene. While he may not be performing at his peak currently, one thing is certain: Faker will never disappoint his fans with unprofessional or inappropriate actions or words, both on and off the stage.
