10 years of playing professional League of Legends is also 10 years of Faker wholeheartedly focusing on T1, but the way T1 has treated Faker recently has made fans unhappy.
A League of Legends player with 10 years of professional experience is quite rare, but being able to maintain top form for more than a decade, perhaps only Faker can do it. During those 10 years, Faker devoted himself completely to the glory of T1, creating a legendary team with a long record of achievements not only in the LCK but also in the international arena.

For many T1 and Faker fans, 2023 is especially meaningful as this is the 10th anniversary of Faker’s official appearance and stirring up the professional League of Legends scene. Worth mentioning, T1 itself is expected to have special events to celebrate Faker’s important anniversary. Anyone who doubts Faker’s importance to T1 should look at T1 during the time Faker was off injured? Who can replace Faker?
But it seems that T1 does not take this as anything important. According to the Q&A session with T1’s manager Becker, he said: “We had plans to film a movie commemorating Faker’s 10th anniversary in the Spring and we regret breaking our promise. We I was going to film but then the team lost (in Spring) and then it was MSI… In the end, we couldn’t arrange the schedule properly. It’s completely our fault and we sincerely apologize sorry for that”.
T1 manager gave a reason for T1 skipping Faker’s 10th anniversary but of course, that doesn’t make sense.
The defense of the T1 leadership team made the team’s and Faker’s fans even more frustrated. A straightforward opinion: “A player who devoted his entire career to the team, just signed a 3-year contract. But the team couldn’t even make a video for him to celebrate his 10th anniversary. And just to come Only when fans lose patience do they start planning. Don’t you understand that the 10th anniversary is no longer about the players but the whole history of Esports? I really feel angry when my favorite player being treated like this”.
In fact, T1 having bad results in matches is not a reasonable excuse for T1’s “forgetting” because all schedules and events must be planned in advance and carefully prepared, in At that time, winning or losing was unexpected and unpredictable.
Faker deserves more attention and respect than what T1 is doing
Faker’s 10th anniversary is truly an important event for League of Legends in particular and Esports in general. League of Legends fans must have been waiting for an event and brilliant publications T1 pays tribute to its mid laner with real gold. However, right on his “home field”, he seems to be “abandoned” by the team he is contributing to.
