Who is faker?
Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok is a South Korean professional League of Legends player for T1. He was born on May 7, 1996, in Seoul, South Korea. Faker gained prominence after joining SK Telecom T1 (now T1) in 2013, where he has since played as the team's mid-laner. Throughout his career, he has secured a record of 10 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) titles, four World Championships, and four All-Star Games MVPs.
Faker began his professional career in 2013 when he caught the attention of SK Telecom T1 2 (later known as SK Telecom T1 K), a team affiliated with the SK Telecom T1 organization. Originally competing under the alias "GoJeonPa", Faker quickly gained notoriety in the Korean server. Many players speculated about just who this mysterious player was, and his skills on the rift were unmatched.
Faker represented South Korea in the League of Legends demonstration event at the 2018 Asian Games. The tournament took place at the BritAma Arena at Mahaka Square in Jakarta, Indonesia, from August 27 to 29, 2018.
Faker has become a prominent figure in marketing campaigns for various brands. Companies such as Nike, Razer, Red Bull, and Creative Artists Agency have leveraged Faker's image to promote their products and services.
In 2022, Faker and T1 took legal action by filing a lawsuit against a group of individuals who had engaged in malicious online personal attacks against Faker.
