As we know, recently the players of T1 have been resting, waiting for the new season to start and for Riot to release information about the Pre-Season updates. Therefore, most players opt for ranked play as a form of stress relief after tiring days of competition. However, there are also many players who choose other content creation methods that attract viewers while avoiding the intense League of Legends matches. Specifically, Faker recently serves as an example.
On a beautiful day, T1’s Mid Laner decided to try solving the college entrance exam of South Korea (CSAT) just for fun. For those who don’t know, South Korea is one of the countries with some of the toughest college entrance exams in Asia. Moreover, Faker left school back in high school and is currently 27 years old. This means Faker has spent about 11 years without studying or grinding academics, focusing solely on professional League of Legends.
However, the score Faker achieved is truly impressive. He scored 54/100 in Literature and 72/100 in English. According to South Korean netizens, Faker scored higher than 50% of candidates in the Literature section and over 80% in English, even though he was just playing around and hadn’t studied at all. Notably, Faker’s score in English is approximately at the level of 3rd grade, meaning he scored higher than 45% of the total population of the Land of the Morning Calm.
Furthermore, Faker even made a statement afterward that made gamers, especially those still in school, want to “scream.” Specifically, T1’s Mid Laner joked: “After solving the exam, I realized that playing professional games is the easiest thing I can do.” Notably, Faker is currently the most accomplished player in the League of Legends scene. With such a statement, it can be said that taking exams and studying is much more challenging and complex, especially with the vast amount of knowledge and the pressure regarding performance and expectations placed on each student.
But with his “unique” content, Faker’s exam-solving session quickly attracted the attention of the League of Legends community worldwide, as well as those interested in South Korean entertainment in general. This also shows that Faker is truly talented and even after 11 years, he can still “handle” exam questions in the best way possible.
