Faker got into a “romance” scandal
Throughout his more than decade-long tenure in professional gaming, Faker has consistently epitomized professionalism, steering clear of false rumors and love scandals.
His reputation as the Demon King of League of Legends has only grown stronger following his triumphant victory at Worlds 2023. However, with fame comes speculation, and Faker has found himself at the center of attention once again, albeit under rather peculiar circumstances.
On the Chinese social media platform Weibo, a startling revelation surfaced, courtesy of a female netizen claiming to be Faker’s fiancée. This self-proclaimed Hong Kong-American fiancée of the T1 mid-laner unleashed a lengthy video attempting to substantiate her alleged relationship with the T1 mid laner, sending shockwaves throughout the LCK fanbase.
In the initial moments of the video, the so-called fiancée portrayed herself as a victim of coercion by Faker and T1, prompting her to seek aid online. She asserted that she had penned an astonishing 110 heartfelt letters to the Demon Kings since 2022, with the majority garnering responses from both T1 and her “fiancee”.
Armed with many self-proclaimed clues and evidence, including snippets from interviews and live broadcasts, she fervently sought to validate her status as Faker’s betrothed.
The alleged fiancée asserted that her wealth rivaled that of him and disclosed her current residence in Hong Kong. Her primary objective in disseminating the video was to elicit a positive response from T1, in the hopes of establishing communication with her supposed fiancé.
The claims put forth by this individual verge on the absurd, including allegations of Faker intentionally losing matches due to her influence and accusations of popular host Soobin interfering as a third party in their relationship.
Moreover, the narrative of a potential marriage is marred by the absence of any tangible means of contacting him.
People see this situation as funny, but it shows how famous people like Faker can be affected by strange rumors in the gaming world. The T1 mid laner is still highly respected, but his private life is always being talked about and guessed at by fans, which keeps the community interested and entertained.
