Faker's interview response was too modest
As the most experienced player in the League of Legends industry today, he is also the “GOAT” of this game, of course interviews have never made it difficult for Faker. However, there are many times when T1's Mid Lane's “honest” or too humble actions make even his fans “laugh and cry”.
Although everyone understands that Faker does not have any hidden meanings in his shares on the mass media, many times they can make many people “freeze”. Like in his recent conversation with Korean female volleyball player – Kim Yeon-koung.
Specifically, while talking about titles, Faker admitted: “I feel like my achievements are poor. But I debuted in 2013, and won the championship right then. So I was both The youngest player and the oldest player to ever win the World Championship. Perhaps those are the titles that make me happiest and most memorable.”
The guests were “frozen”, the fans were “half laughing and crying” with Faker
Even the talented Korean female athlete was “surprised” when Faker admitted his performance was “relatively bad”. Because, at the present time, Faker is the player with the most championship titles and final FMVP of a single World Championship in the history of League of Legends. There's no need to say anything to the fans, as most opinions were “speechless” with the idol's “humble, honest” sharing.
With the victory in the 2024 World Championship final, Faker has established many new historical milestones in the League of Legends village that perhaps no one can break. For example, the first player to successfully defend the championship twice, or the first player to win FMVP twice in a World Championship final. It can be affirmed: if Faker's achievements are “relatively bad”, in League of Legends there will no longer be anyone worthy of being considered rich in achievements.
The guest interviewing with Faker was also “not average”. Kim Yeon-koung is considered the greatest volleyball player in Korea. In 2021, according to Korean media statistics, Kim Yeon-koung ranked 6th in the world among the world's best-earning female strikers. Up to that time, each year she received about more than 800,000 USD (more than 18 billion VND – at 2021 prices).
