Yesterday, T1 released behind-the-scenes photos for the “Faker Ice Cream” advertising project on social media. Being behind-the-scenes shots, most of them lack specific content, making them a rich resource for meme creators who can freely add and modify content.
T1 was aware of this and posted in advance that Faker holding a whiteboard would inevitably become a meme, with G2 Esports being the most enthusiastic name to jump in.
T1: “It would be quite embarrassing if this photo became a meme”
G2 Esports starts off: “And here are the best mid-laners in the world (only Perkz and Caps-ND)”
T1 counters: “It seems like you haven’t seen this before, so let me introduce you to the World Championship trophy (implying G2 Esports has never won a world championship)”
G2 Esports responds sharply: “Oh, and if you forgot, this is why you didn’t get a trophy last year (referring to Perkz’s Quadra Kill against T1 in the 2019 World Championship semifinals-ND)”

It seems that the two organizations have stopped their feud, but it has sparked a completely new meme trend in the League of Legends community, temporarily dubbed the “Chairman Faker Holding Facts” meme. This movement has seen participation from all types of players, organizations, and fans from Europe to Asia, as the confident expression of pointing at a blank whiteboard is just too easy to create super funny memes. Let’s take a look at the creations from around the world:
Fly Quest is well-known for being an environmental protection team, so they used this meaningful message
The image seems to say – “2 Wooden Hammers is Faker’s Corki playstyle”
LEC: “And here are the number of North American teams that made it past the group stage last year, see, nothing”
Team Cloud 9: “And here is a clown (in the photo is Nisqy from Team C9)”
Fakerception?
The image seems to be the most savage: “This is Ryu, still haunted by the solo Zed from years ago”
And here are the creations from Vietnamese gamers
