People are Sympathetic about Faker’s Year

It was a year of ups and downs for Faker and T1. Obviously, it ended on a high note with the Worlds win. But looking back, it was quite the journey.

Faker won many awards at the LCK Awards, including Mid of the Year and Player of the Year.

I’ve collected several Korean netizens’ comments after watching his speech, where he was visibly emotional.

About His Emotions

울컥하기도 하고 기쁘기도 해서 마음이 복잡한게 느껴진다 ㅋㅋㅋ 원래 잘 고장안나는데
He’s both emotional and happy, so he feels complicated. He usually doesn’t break down.

부상당한거 심적으로 힘들었나보내…
It must have been emotionally difficult for you to get injured…

Defending Faker

There were comments questioning his win, specifically pointing out the strength of his teammates during Worlds. Also, they mentioned his performance during the regular season.

Here are two comments in his defence.

He carried like Messi in the World Cup. If it wasn’t for Faker, they would have lost in the JDG match.

ㄴㄷㅅㄷㅅ 뭔가 착각하는거 아니냐? LCK 어워드는 LCK경기에서만 좋은 활약, 성적을 보여준 선수들 뽑는거 아니고 LCK소속 선수들중에 LCK, Msi, 월즈 까지 포함한 전 대회에서 좋은 활약을 뽑는 선수들을 뽑는거다. 축구에서 리그컵 우승하고 챔스에서 좃 같이 못해서 16강딱하면 발롱도르 뽑힐수 있을거라 생각함?
Aren’t you misunderstanding something? The LCK Award does not select players who showed good performance and performance only in LCK games, but selects players among LCK players who showed good performance in all competitions, including LCK, MSI, and Worlds. In soccer, if you win the League Cup and do poorly in the Champions League, do you think that if you make it to the round of 16, you will be selected for the Ballon d’Or?
