In the history of League of Legends in general and LCK in particular, it will probably be difficult to find any player who can put great influence like Faker. Not only is a long -term career, but Faker is really successful in his professional player. In the entire LCK from past to present, Faker is the player who won the most championships. In addition, along with SKT T1/T1, he is the most World Championship player. Faker's success and professionalism also inspired many players, from the same time to the juniors.
Faker is the most prestigious and most influential player in the whole realm of League of Legends
Of course, with the success and reputation that has been built, it is not strange that Faker is also the player with the largest fan base of the professional League of Legends. He was the first League of Legends player with a total number of followers on Instagram to reach more than 1 million. And in any match T1 attended, that match would almost certainly be in the top views of the tournament. In particular, it would be higher if T1 confronted with rivals with many debts such as Gen.G, Kia Dplus or KT Rolster.
Influence and reputation, Faker's achievements also guarantee the success and attraction of T1 as well as LCK
Recently, Faker has achieved another parameter very proud. Accordingly, he has a total of followers on YouTube up to 1.84 million. This figure, unexpectedly, only lost to the total of 10 teams of LCK plus 120k people. It can be understood that, in the entire professional League of Legends in kimchi, Faker is the player who has the highest YouTube Subscribe, although he does not often post videos on this platform. And this number is many times higher than the poor teams like Oksavingsbank Brion or Nongshim Redforce. Even in all teams, only T1 has the amount of subscribers close to his captain.

But this accidentally entails a problem for both LCK: Faker is having a great influence, and only on the platform of YouTube is superior to all teams, including T1 itself. Meanwhile, Faker really was old and his time, only in each year. Not to mention, recently, Faker also showed that he was injured and soon T1 Lam was in danger. As for LCK, even the classic battle between KT and Gen.G to compete in the top of the table is not more attractive than the T1 – Drx match.
The first match of T1 after Faker had to take a break, there was a higher view than the Gen.G – DK or T1 – KT match (after Faker was no longer playing)
Faker achieved a new achievement but this time it means a new problem that arises for LCK. And one day when Faker really has to retire, no one can imagine what this tournament will be like.
