開始打Rank的原因和Faker不喜歡女人那段超好笑XD
COVER STORY "There can be no one above me" - Faker
Michael Jordan of LoL, Lee "Faker" Sang-Hyeok's talk There's something about
Faker that I cannot quite put into words. The interview itself did not last
long; however, throughout its duration, I could sense something boiling and
hot underneath him. Perhaps it was his self-esteem, self-confidence, or even
his competitiveness, but something told me that Faker was different from
everyone else.
Lee "Faker" Sang-Hyeok is a pro-gamer. To be exact, he is a League of Legends
pro-gamer. LoL is currently one of the most popular games in the world, as
well as a game dominated by the Koreans.
Frankly, Faker is considered as the best player in League of Legends.
According to Brandon Beck, CEO and Co-Founder of Riot Games, Faker is the
Michael Jordan of League of Legends; not because of the rich earnings or
appearance resembling that of Michael, but because of the unparalleled level
of dominance in his respective competitive field. Don't get me wrong, many
may laugh at the comparison and even scoff at the idea of League of Legends
being considered a sport. How dare he compare His Airness to a "professional"
gamer? Well, those who enjoy the game follow the competitive LoL scene will
merely nod their heads.
I remember meeting Faker for the first time. It was around last spring
(2013). At the time, I had no idea that this scrawny little boy would become
the most popular League of Legends player in a matter of just one year.
An ordinary student in high school, a God on the rift In the fall of 2014, I
met Lee "Faker" Sang-Hyeok once again to conduct my interview. He was thin as
usual, even thinner than he was when I had first met him. He had also grown
quite a lot; back then he was about 5'9 but now he was close to 6' and still
growing. At the age of 18, he was no longer the naive boy I had first met.
Tell me about your childhood.
I was born in Gangseo District in Seoul and am still currently living there.
I began to play video games at a very young age, but at the time, it wasn't
on a computer. I would go to arcades instead with friends.
So were you like one of those kids in the arcade that everyone would huddle
around to see high scores and records being broken?
No, it wasn't really like that. My friends and I used to play Tekken and the
King of Fighters a lot. I was never really good at them though.
Are there even games that you're not good at?
Well, I'm not good at every game; there are some games I am good at and some
games that I am bad at too.
I just remember playing Maplestory and Nexus:The Kingdom of the Winds a lot.
After that, it was Warcraft 3 and I mainly played on user-created maps.
One thing to note is that many Korean league players have previously played
Warcraft 3. Some notable pro-gamers include, Ryu, Score, MakNoon, Lilac, and
Flame. One of the user-created maps these pros used to enjoy was called
'Chaos', a game similar to League of Legends. Faker also claims to have
enjoyed playing Chaos.
I'm not sure about LoL, but I really believe that I was extremely good at
Chaos.
Finding League was just a mere coincidence, as he found the game while
surfing the web. It seemed really intriguing and he fell in love with the
game right away.
It was honestly just a coincidence that I ended up playing League. As the
Korean server came out, I just started playing a ton of games. I really think
that's the best way to improve; just playing a ton of games.
Fun Fact: Faker used to only play normal games and the reason he began
playing ranked was because his normal game que time was simply too long for
him to wait. His normal game MMR was simply too high for the system to find
him a game. And thus, it was just a matter of time until he reached number
one in the ranked ladder. During this time, many were questioning who
GoJeonPa(Faker's ID at the time) was. Some said it was one of the pros'
smurf, while the others speculated it was a foreign pro playing on the Korean
server. Little did they know that GoJeonPa was merely a 17-year-old teenager
who enjoyed math and was unaware of how good he actually was at the game.
Honestly, I didn't really know I was that good. People around me would always
praise me and tell me how good I was, so I knew I was pretty good, but I
never could gauge myself. But then, I was contacted by a pro-gaming
organization.
After much consideration, Faker wanted to become a pro-gamer. He had watched
the pros duel it out in the gaming booths on OGN, and wanted to be just like
them. One would assume that his parents would be in heavy denial since
Sang-Hyeok was doing great in school; however, they were completely on board
and encouraged Faker to pursue his dreams.
At the time, my parents would tell me to follow my passion and do whatever
made me happy and gave me the permission to become a pro-gamer. Nowadays,
they see me on TV and are extremely happy about it.
Faker's cute hobby: Googling himself While taking a break from the interview,
I was able to speak with one of SKT T1's coaches, Choi Byoung-Hoon to share
his stories on Faker.
In the beginning, Sang-Hyeok was even less talkative than he is now. I'm not
sure if this is okay to say, but I was a bit worried that he had some kind of
a speech disorder because there were days where he wouldn't even speak a
word. Even his responses were short. I would ask, "Do you want to eat?" and
he would respond, "yes." If I asked him what he wanted, he wouldn't respond.
So, I would ask him if he wanted KBBQ and he would simply say, "yes." It's
really amazing to see how much he's changed because he is not the same person
he was a year ago at all.
Any funny stories of Faker? The Sang-Hyeok I know has almost no interest in
girls. Usually with other pros, you would see a picture of a famous celebrity
or one of those Kpop girls as their computer backgrounds and they would be
watching their music videos during que, but I have never seen Faker do any of
them. One time, he was on his phone non-stop for two days and I thought to
myself that he had finally broken down like everyone else. Even though it was
wrong, I decided to check his phone to verify it, but it turns out that he
had been playing Janggi (Korean Chess) on his phone this whole time. For two
days! One thing I will say about him is that he likes to google himself a
lot. Also he visits Inven and other League community sites when a video of
his play is uploaded and he loves to read the comments to see their reaction.
Top of the World, and Tumbling Down What would Faker's best and worst moments
be thus far in his career?
He says his most memorable moment was his debut against CJ Entus Blaze on
April, 6th, 2013. At the time, CJ Blaze was regarded as one of the top tier
teams in OGN with an allstar line-up. On the other hand, SKT T1 K was just
an up-and-coming team and no one had expected them to pull off an upset over
the favorites of the tournament.
It turned out to be a dominant victory for SKT T1 K with a score of 16 to 6,
which included Faker's solo kill on the highly-regarded Ambition and this
soon propelled Faker into his glorious stardom. Although SKT T1 K did not
manage to make it to the finals that season, they were able to finish 3rd by
sweeping CJ Frost in a Bo5 and letting everyone know that they were for real.
How was I when I first played in the booth? I don't know, I think I was a bit
nervous, even though I was expecting the nerves to kick in. I had only seen
the booths from TV but to be actually playing in one was thrilling and super
cool. You remember the solo kill I had on Ambition? I think that really
kicked off my stardom and superstar-status. It was also my most memorable
game and one of the happiest victories we had ever had.
4 months later, SKT T1 K began to ramp up and get on a roll for the summer
season. Faker was able to win his first OGN title and was deservedly named
the MVP of the tournament. Even today, the famous 1 vs 1 zed duel between
Faker and Ryu is being talked about by the League community.
Next on the list was the World Championships. Faker and SKT T1 K were able to
easily take home the victory and prove to the world they were the best.
However, everyone's focus was on Faker. There were countless number of
highlights and montages being uploaded and whatever Faker played on that day,
everyone else would be playing it as well, trying to be like Faker. He was
undoubtedly, the best player in the world. All this had happened, in less
than a year of time.
Returning from the World Championships, SKT T1 K were dominant in Champions
Winter and demonstrated that by not losing a single set during entire
tournament. Even to this day, they hold the record for the most wins in a
row, which is set at 19 wins. 15 wins, 0 loss, team average KDA 7.7, and a
match average of 18 kills 7 deaths and 42 assists. A record no other team
could even think of achieving.
Unfortunately, this was the end for the unstoppable force as SKT T1 K failed
to get past the round of 8 in both the spring and summer season of Champions.
They were even pushed aside by Samsung in Masters and failed to qualify for
the 2014 World Championships. Even Gods bled and SKT T1 K became just an
ordinary team.
If the best moment of your career was your debut, then was your worst moment
when you failed to qualify for the World Championships against Samsung?
Yes, I would agree that our game against Samsung White for the second seed
for the World Championships has been the worst moment of my career. I
personally played very poorly and made a lot of mistakes in that series.
The team that didn't even know what a loss felt like had fallen. What was
your reaction?
Everyone says that I don't show much emotion, but deep inside I do get pretty
emotional and angry when we lose. A lot of regrets came to mind and a lot of
What Ifs.
How do you assess your self-confidence? Are you someone who is well-composed
and doesn't let losses affect your confidence much?
I really hate when there's someone above me. In fact, I'm not even watching
the World Championships that's going on right now. I mean, it does take a
toll sometimes when I practice, but the competitiveness fuels my drive as I
hate seeing someone beat me. After all, I still love the game, so I'm always
trying to improve.
Alright that's pretty much the gist of it. I will add some more later, as
it's getting pretty late here and I have classes tomorrow. I hope you enjoyed
the translation and let me know if I got something wrong or need to make any
revisions.
