“I am sure that there are many people who have thought: because you have made a lot of money and many titles, not from now on, you will start doing what you want? Before I started the path of becoming a professional player, I even thought that making a lot of money to live a good life was enough,” Faker shared.
“However, time passed, I realized that the goal that I pursued is how to create positive effects on the community through electronic sports. For me, nothing is important than this. That's why I am constantly striving and working hard. At the moment, even if everything has made progress, improving more than before, but the professional age of the player is still quite short.”
Faker continued: “Although it is short, I am really grateful because I can still play during that time. If I can still learn through the competition, I believe I can continue to do better what I love without feeling tired.
In the past, I felt quite embarrassed and difficult to stand in front of many people and I did not have many friends anymore. That day, I liked it alone, but now I am used to standing in front of the crowd. I realize that it can be positively inspired as well as accepting good effects from others. Therefore, I always feel extremely grateful to everyone. “
In the last World Championship 2023, Faker and T1 won the championship after defeating Weibo Gaming with a score of 3-0 in the final. This is also the fourth world championship in the Korean player's career.
Currently, Faker still has a contract with T1 until the end of 2025. This is considered a time when Faker will retire with a 12 -year milestone.
