Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok is one of the professional gamers of League of Legends or LoL.
His game is always very slick, making one of the best players in the world managed to win various tournaments with his team SK Telecom T1. And it might be worth mentioning Faker as the best player in the history of League of Legends and becoming a legend.
However, behind his success there are still many things that might be a question mark for his fans, especially after his failure in the All Star League Tournament.
- Name: Lee Sang-hyeok
- In-game nickname: Faker
- Born: May 7, 1996 – Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea
- Currently playing for Team: SK Telecom T1
- Role: Mid Laner
- Games: League of Legends
Below are some things that Faker has not achieved as one of the best professional gamers of League of Legends and may be questions from his fans.
1. Win the 1v1 All Star Tournament
Even though this is actually just an event for fun, as a living legend, many Faker fans want their idol to win the 1v1 All Star Tournament.
However, something that was beyond the expectations of many people happened. Although it was predicted by many fans and LoL fans that Faker would be the champion, it turned out that Faker had to lose in the round of 16 to Australian player, Pabu.
2. Winning Titles with Different Positions
So far, Faker is known as a player who always plays in the Mid Laner. But have you ever imagined how Faker plays in other positions?
For example, Ambition, even though both are in Mid Laner, he can also play well when he now plays as a Jungler.
Then what about Faker? There is no evidence that shows his ability to play in positions other than Mid Laner. Of course being able to master many positions is a plus point for a pro gamer.

3. Defending Other Teams
Since deciding to enter the realm of eSports in February 2022 until now, Faker has always played for the SK Telecom T1 team. As a professional team that contains great players, of course, almost no individual is too outstanding for the team’s contribution. Likewise with Faker, his playing ability cannot be separated from his solid teamwork.
However, have you ever thought about what his abilities would be if he played in another team? For example, Doublelift. After being kicked out of TSM, he actually played very well in Team Liquid. Back to the original question, what will Faker’s fate be if he plays for another team? The answer, of course, was only discovered when it actually happened.
4. Winning the Tournament in Different Regions
Even though his abilities are very well tested, Faker has only played in the South Korean region. Of course his fans want to see Faker play in another region.
One of his teammates, Mata, has tried to play in two different regions, namely South Korea and China.
Of course it will be interesting to see Faker playing in another region and then winning it, especially if he goes to the China region, many people will want to see it.
5. KeSPA Cup Champion Title
The KeSPA Cup is an annual eSports event held by KeSPA, the Korean eSports Association. Even though he has won the World Champion with his team, it turns out that Faker has never once lifted a trophy in the KeSPA Cup tournament.
It has been recorded that from 3 times Faker’s participation in this tournament, the highest achievement is only being the 3rd or 4th place winner. Of course, the unsatisfactory achievement is very strange because they have won a world-class tournament.
So that’s it, the 5 things above have never been achieved by Faker, either as a pro eSports player or with his team. Indeed, his failure at Worlds 2022 made Faker and his team look down and if you look at the quality of the game slowly began to fade. How about your own opinion? Try leaving a comment below.
