Beijing 2025 is buzzing as the League of Legends World Championship roars on, and T1 legend Lee Sang-hyuk—aka Faker—sat down with CGTN Digital Reporter Li Yimei for a candid chat.
He greeted fans in fluent Chinese—大家好！ 👋 Reflecting on his epic 12-year ride, from rookie days to four Worlds titles, Faker says the secret sauce is keeping the spark alive 🔥. He even mentions that every year he asks himself how to level up, hinting that passion never goes out of meta.
Behind the in-game precision and highlight reels, there’s a player who treats every match like a fresh quest—always hungry to learn, adapt and grow. Whether he’s fine-tuning a new champion pick or studying pro scrims, Faker’s mantra is clear: stay curious, stay driven.
For fans in South and Southeast Asia, Faker’s story isn’t just about mechanics or pentakills. It’s about holding onto your drive—be it grinding ranked solo or acing that first job interview—while still making time for what you love 🎯.
So next time you load up a match between college lectures or after a coding sprint, remember Faker’s take: passion + practice = progress. Who knew esports wisdom could double as life lessons?
