Known for being one of the most professional players in the League of Legends scene, Faker not only makes fans remember him for his expertise, high skills, or a career length that matches the age of the LCK league, but also for his attitude. As one of the greatest players in the history of League of Legends, Faker does not come off as distant; instead, he always shows warmth and concern even for those who might seem insignificant. Whenever he has the chance, Faker does not hesitate to express his respect for fans, teammates, and team staff.
Recently, while attending an event, an event staff member handed Faker the staff of the champion Azir. Faker noticed the scratches on the staff member’s hands as he explained and guided Faker on how to hold the prop properly. Notably, Faker later expressed his gratitude to the ordinary staff member assisting him by saying, “Thank you for working so hard.” Just a simple statement, but Faker’s serious and sincere attitude warmed the heart of the post-production staff member.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time Faker has shown respect even to those involved in post-production, simply supporting events he participates in. The image of Faker bowing to reporters or broadcast staff is no longer unfamiliar to the audience. In fact, on numerous occasions, Faker is the only player who bows to referees during matches and to the staff stationed at the venue entrance whenever he moves.
Faker’s professionalism and respectful attitude ensure he receives admiration not only from colleagues or opponents but also from those who may have never had a chance to appear in the media or even briefly in front of the camera. On many forums, Faker’s small gesture has been widely shared, and many T1 fans as well as Faker fans also feel proud.
The professionalism of a player and the respect shown to everyone is a choice. And Faker’s choice has contributed to making him not only a monument or superstar in terms of expertise and effort but also a model of professionalism both on and off the field.
