Faker is and always will be the

(Greatest of All Time)
T1 (the org) knows this and believes in this so much that in the meme where āwhat would you tweet to let your followers know youāve been kidnappedā
they said heās ājust okā. They canāt even find it in themselves to meme-tweet that heās ābadā

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 Fakerās 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 ()
Heās always been. And Iām 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, āeven in the long termā ( https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/11347/eg-huni-on-playing-in-academy-this-is-the-highest-chance-i-can-get-an-na-championship-title)
He has always been under pressure. And has always kept delivering good performances and wins regardless

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)
The amount of pressure must have been insane then (title defense at ā16 and ā17). It didnāt let up a year after (ā18), and I believe it only got worse with the āsuper teamā last year (ā19). This year, like all other years, fans canāt 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 donāt have the words right now but I find myself reading this reddit comment ( https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/bcpiga/comment/eksh5ts) when I feel particularly sad about the toxicity I read about Faker
Iāll add more to this thread when I have time (Iām 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
- Itās not an overreaction. Stress has already hurt others
