VCS Commentator “puts foot in mouth” about Faker during live commentary
As we know, during the 2024 season, T1 was having an extremely inconsistent performance in the domestic league and continuously lost to Gen.G. At that time, an emotional moment occurred when Faker and Gumayusi had to quickly react and hold back their senior. The story then became a hot topic of discussion in the League of Legends community, while T1 fans had to continuously request to stop spreading images about the incident. However, recently, commentator Tùng Lâm “put his foot in his mouth” about the incident while commenting on a match on the stream.
Specifically, a viewer donated to this commentator and asked about the “T1 Mundo skin.” Anyone who heard it knew this was not a positive question. However, instead of ignoring the question, the commentator asserted: “At this point, just pay my boss, the god Faker, anything, I can even get you guys the ‘head smash’ skin if you want. As long as there’s payment for Faker, the capitalist is just that simple.”
The Commentator Immediately Faces Outrage from T1 and Faker Fans
It goes without saying, in the League of Legends community, it’s not uncommon for commentators to “var” players, but Faker is a completely different matter. Especially since this was an outburst of emotion, showing signs of self-harm that are very sensitive, and T1 had previously warned about the incident. In fact, a major media outlet had to publicly apologize when using images, so the commentator’s incident is not a small matter.
On many forums, T1 and Faker fans are calling for the immediate banning of this commentator from LCK matches, especially T1’s games. Even now, it has been nearly 24 hours, and Tùng Lâm has yet to issue an official apology. Therefore, the frustration of T1 and Faker fans has become even more intense, which is understandable.
As a working figure in the professional League of Legends community, respecting players and teams… is a basic requirement. However, commentator Tùng Lâm has made a “self-destructive” move at a time when his career was on the rise.
