In the T1 squad, if you have to mention the biggest player, and the most influential, surely everyone will have to mention the name Faker. He is also the oldest player currently playing in LCK and in all aspects, Faker is also superior. Of course, Faker is also a visual of T1, of LCK and is representing the League of Legends. However, not so that Faker is always superior to his juniors, especially in the “fans”.
Faker is the most influential member and fan base T1
Specifically, according to the recent statistics on the amount collected from fans on the Afreecatv platform, out of 5 players of T1, Faker only ranked 3 with the total amount collected of about 144k won (about 2.6 billion VND). This figure of Faker is far behind two young juniors, respectively, Oner (first ranked with about 203k won) and Zeus (about 201k won). Worth mentioning, a player often has “gone into his heart” and is very positive for streaming as well as considered to be able to make visuals at T1 after Faker left, Gumayusi obtained the least amount of donate (only about 121k won).
But considering Donate, Faker is only 3rd, after Oner and Zeus
Explaining this number, many fans immediately show that Faker does not often have interactions in the style of “donate” or interacting too welcoming, too comfortable with fans. This is also considered a form of “fan service” for players when airing. Because, the image of Faker built in the past has a serious and professional direction at all times. Except for playing Jump King, “floating” when he encountered a game or rare jokes, the rest Faker never showed that he could have acts of joking, skillfully pulling Donate like his colleagues or his juniors.
Faker does not usually have “Donate” styles
Meanwhile, Zeus and Oner regularly livestream and interact very positively to fans. According to a straightforward opinion: “Many viewers of course prefer to watch the player” Donate “rather than merely thank fans throughout the session”.
The audience also admitted that people prefer to watch “Donate” rather than just sitting “thank you all the time”
However, the professionalism and seriousness also creates a feature of Faker. And T1 fans themselves will probably be difficult to accept if one day, Faker is a trick to “donate” as some of his colleagues have applied.
