Faker’s Shocking Action
Just a few hours ago, T1 faced a defeat against Gen.G, marking the 10th consecutive loss for Faker and his teammates against this formidable opponent. But what is even more concerning is the impulsive action taken by the Demon King, as he caused harm to himself. This was quite unexpected because throughout his career, this player has experienced ups and downs and is known for being calm, both as a professional and a spiritual anchor for T1. In fact, his teammates in the meeting room were also taken aback, with Gumayusi having to embrace his senior to calm the team down.
At this moment, Faker is likely the player most affected by the recent loss to Gen.G. In reality, the entire team will be disheartened, and T1 fans feel the same. However, since the Demon King was the one who directly made the mistake, the situation took a different turn, with his self-harming action being the peak of overflowing emotions. As a result, on major social media platforms like X and Weibo, the League of Legends fan community in general and fans of this player and T1 in particular decided to take action.
Faker Ignites a Social Media Frenzy
The keywords “#We_Stand_For_Faker” and “#OurHyeokOurSun” quickly rose to the trending top, with over 8k and 17k posts respectively. Meanwhile, on Weibo, there were more than 200k posts about the incident. A well-known account for transfer news in the LPL community expressed, “I am very emotional witnessing an older player like the Demon King still has such a desire.” A former coach stated: “It’s not necessarily that his mentality is unstable, it’s just that he is too eager to win and is blaming himself for the failure.”
Currently, only coach KkOma has spoken out somewhat about Faker’s issue. But perhaps, the Demon King himself will address his story professionally, just as he has always demonstrated throughout his career. And fans have every reason to worry but can also be proud to be supporters of a player who constantly strives to surpass himself, like a League of Legends legend.
