T1’s Faker, the iconic League of Legends pro, shocks fans with an unexpected emotional outburst after a tough loss to Gen.G in the LCK. What led to this moment?

In a stunning turn of events, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, widely regarded as the greatest League of Legends player of all time, displayed an uncharacteristic emotional outburst following a recent loss in the LCK. The T1 mid-laner, known for his calm demeanor, was seen repeatedly headbutting a wall in the player’s booth after his team’s defeat against Gen.G.

What Happened to Faker After LCK Loss?

After the match concluded, Faker remained in the soundproof booth with his teammates. Suddenly, he turned and began forcefully hitting his head against the wall. His actions caught his teammates off guard, who initially failed to notice what was happening. As Faker’s behavior intensified, T1’s AD carry, Gumayusi, stepped in to physically restrain him, preventing further self-harm.

The incident quickly spread across social media platforms, causing widespread concern among fans and professionals in the esports community. Many expressed worry for Faker’s mental well-being, recognizing the immense pressure he faces as the face of competitive League of Legends.

As the face of T1, one of the most popular and successful organizations in League of Legends history, Faker bears the weight of the team’s legacy. T1 and its players have faced intense scrutiny and sometimes toxic behavior from fans, including DDoS attacks that disrupted practice sessions and public displays of criticism outside their headquarters.

As the League of Legends World Championship approaches, scheduled to take place in London later this year, all eyes will be on Faker and T1 to see how they navigate this challenging period.

This unexpected outburst from one of esports’ most iconic figures serves as a stark reminder of the intense pressures faced by professional gamers, even those at the very top of their field.
