Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok Featured in Chinese Periodical to Inspire Students
Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, one of the most successful esports personalities in the world, has been featured in a Chinese monthly periodical aimed at inspiring students. This news was first reported by Chinese news site 163.com in April, but it has recently gained attention from English-speaking media.

The periodical focuses on providing students with positive and inspirational materials for their essays. Faker shared his experiences as a successful student before pursuing his career in esports.
The reason for featuring Faker in the periodical, as stated in 163.com’s article, is that the mainstream community is gradually recognizing the esports industry. The periodical aims to appeal to readers who aspire to pursue a career in esports. The main message of the feature is that anyone can become the next Faker if they have a dream and are willing to work hard.
This message is not only important for aspiring esports professionals but for everyone. The feature emphasizes the importance of having a dream and putting in effort, just like Faker, in order to achieve success.
Faker’s career on SKT has faced some challenges recently. They were eliminated from the LCK playoffs by KT Rolster and did not qualify for the MSI. Previously, they were defeated by Samsung Galaxy in the 2017 Worlds, which is considered the most prestigious title in the League of Legends scene. However, despite these setbacks, Faker’s popularity remains strong.
Faker acknowledged that fans were concerned about the end of SKT’s dynasty. He mentioned that if it were true, it would be because younger and unknown teams now have a better chance to rise to the top. Faker also expressed his own concerns about the constant changes in the game, which have become more extreme every year.
Although SKT is off to a difficult start this split with only three wins and five losses, Faker is determined to redeem the team. Their next game is against Hanwha Life Esports next Friday at 6 am CT.
