Faker is and always will be the

T1 (the org) knows this and believes in this so much that in the meme where “what would you tweet to let your followers know you’ve been kidnapped”

they said he’s “just ok”. They can’t even find it in themselves to meme-tweet that he’s “bad”

I personally think that not providing the context for their non-EN speaking twitter audience is a mistake from the social media team since the meme was made at a time when Faker’s skills are being questioned by haters

But I do believe that they would NEVER DARE to badmouth Faker

But, to everyone saying that the (respectful) fans are overreacting, I beg to disagree

To explain, on to a related subject, pressure: Coach Kim says in the latest Locker Room episode that Faker is under a lot of pressure ( https://youtu.be/kEta1Rb54nQ )

He’s">https://youtu.be/kEta1Rb54... always been. And I’m reminded of how various people talked about him and SKT

Huni says that Faker performs really well even when under a lot of pressure. He adds, “even in the long term” ( https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/11347/eg-huni-on-playing-in-academy-this-is-the-highest-chance-i-can-get-an-na-championship-title)

But read how Bang sees the years they won: because of the stress, “That is a period of my life that I wouldn’t want to relive” ( https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/a8uueq/comment/ecdxs62)

Remember as well that Wolf has stated that his difficulties started 2016 ( https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/9819/exclusive-interview-wolf-officially-announces-his-retirement-talks-about-his-battles-against-disorders-behind-closed-doors)">https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/...

The amount of pressure must have been insane then (title defense at ‘16 and ‘17). It didn’t let up a year after (‘18), and I believe it only got worse with the “super team” last year (‘19). This year, like all other years, fans can’t help but worry

How much is too much pressure?

He is strong, we know. But do we wait until he breaks before we say enough is enough?

We actually CARE about the human being, and not just his in-game handle. Not just his outplays and highlight reels. Not just his titles

I don’t have the words right now but I find myself reading this reddit comment ( https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/bcpiga/comment/eksh5ts)">https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueo... when I feel particularly sad about the toxicity I read about Faker

I’ll add more to this thread when I have time (I’m insanely busy right now)

But for now, I just want to say:
- Faker is the

- T1 knows that
- There are non-EN fans who love Faker and will defend him
- It’s not an overreaction. Stress has already hurt others
