Faker’s recent livestream, wherein he tackled university exam questions, left the fan community in a state of surprised.
In a departure from his usual content of climbing League of Legends rank, Faker has been diversifying his streams with intriguing activities such as book reviews and tests. However, the unexpected twist came when he decided to take on the challenge of solving university exams in Korea.
During the evening stream on December 27th, Faker dedicated nearly 3 hours to working through two sets of university exams, one in Korean and the other in English. Immersed in the task, he approached the questions with the intensity and focus like a real exam candidate. Surprisingly, the performance yielded commendable results, scoring 54/100 in Korean literature and an impressive 72/100 in English.
Korean netizens noted that Faker’s scores exceeded expectations, surpassing candidates in Literature by 50% and outperforming over 80% of candidates in English. Remarkably, the English score equated to a level 3 proficiency, higher than 45% of the entire Korean population.
Fans were astounded by this unexpected feat, considering Faker’s prolonged absence from formal education. Despite his extended hiatus from academia, the gaming legend demonstrated exceptional abilities in exam-solving without prior preparation.
The T1 mid laner even casually pondered the idea of taking college exams in the upcoming year, musing on the simplicity of playing games compared to academic endeavors.
“Looks like next year 2006 will have the university exams, right? So should I take college exams next year? When I went to school I didn’t study, when I came home, I thought “I have to solve my homework” but I just played games. Haiz, after all, playing games is still the easiest.”
Faker’s unique content, revolving around his exam-solving session, rapidly captured the attention of the global League of Legends community and those interested in Korean entertainment. This display underscored Faker’s enduring talent, showcasing that even after 11 years, he can adept and conquer tests with unparalleled finesse.
