In a recent on-stage interview with the one and only Faker, a surprising turn of events occurred as a select group of KCorp fans expressed their disapproval through boos.
Faker, often hailed as the GOAT of League of Legends, is typically regarded with immense respect, making the incident particularly noteworthy.
Reasons behind the booing towards T1 Faker
The KCorp fanbase, known for its passionate and fervent support in the world of esports, raised eyebrows as some members chose to voice their discontent during Faker’s interview. This unexpected display of dissatisfaction with the iconic player generated considerable controversy within the League of Legends community.
During the League of Its Own event, where T1 took the spotlight as the stars, Faker joined his teammates for a brief on-stage interview. However, the atmosphere took an unexpected turn when KCorp fans were heard booing him before the event even commenced.
CapuleMarxiste, the individual behind The Blue Wall, confirmed that the disapproval originated from KCorp fans but provided insight into their perspective in a Twitter thread.
According to CapuleMarxiste, the booing directed at Faker was not an expression of disdain for the player himself but rather a passionate show of support for their own team.
He emphasized that the actions were fueled by fervent loyalty rather than animosity toward him personally, asserting that this was a manifestation of how KCorp fans exhibit their dedication.
In response to the controversy, Kameto, the owner of KCorp, issued a statement condemning the actions of the fans who booed Faker. He expressed his disappointment in the fans’ mistake and clarified that others in the audience intervened to halt the disrespectful behavior.
Kameto’s response diverges from some KCorp fans who have defended the booing as a form of passionate support for their team.
As of now, T1 have not publicly commented on the incident, leaving the community to ponder the implications of this unexpected and controversial moment.
