Introduction: The S15 season has fully concluded, and it is believed that the vast majority of players have been following the recent offseason closely. The T1 team is arguably the most popular team worldwide, especially their mid-laner Faker, widely recognized as the number one League of Legends player, who has just renewed his contract with T1 for another four years. Recently, an interview with him became a hot topic among many fans, where he openly stated that at 30 years old, he currently has no plans for marriage or children. This puzzled many netizens, wondering if Faker has truly become a gaming addict, focusing only on winning the World Championship and neglecting his personal life?

Faker speaks for the first time about marriage and having children

Most fans are quite familiar with Faker, as the core mid-laner of T1. Over his long professional career, he has gained a loyal fanbase, especially in recent years, reaching the World Championship finals four consecutive times and winning three straight world titles, earning the undisputed title of six-time world champion. This achievement has left many fans amazed. Notably, this year, T1’s overall ranking was not very high, entering the World Championship as the fourth seed from the LCK. Yet, they fought through the play-in stage all the way to the finals, eliminating three teams from the LPL region and ultimately crushing KT Rolster to claim the championship.

Public opinion on Faker is overwhelmingly positive, and many fans also care about his personal life. Given his age, many of his contemporaries have already married and started families, or at least have clear goals in that direction. However, in a recent interview, Faker openly addressed fans’ concerns on this matter. He said he has made no decisions yet. Although he believes that building a family is meaningful, there is no conclusion at this time, and he plans to consider and decide later. Regarding whether he would prefer a son or daughter, if forced to choose, he thinks a daughter would be cuter.

It’s unclear whether Faker was joking or speaking from the heart—has he really become a complete gaming addict? Has he lost interest in living a normal life? His six World Championship titles already prove he is the greatest in League of Legends, yet he is still striving for a fourth consecutive world title. He also mentioned having renewed his contract with T1 for four more years, indicating he plans to keep competing for the foreseeable future. What happens after four years remains uncertain. Indeed, Faker has become a living legend; if he ever leaves, the scene’s popularity would likely drop significantly.

During the interview, Faker also talked about mid-laner Chovy. In his 13-year career, Chovy is the player who has made him feel the strongest competitive pressure. Every match against Chovy is interesting from the start. Recently, Chovy has consistently delivered outstanding performances, which has become a source of motivation for Faker’s growth. Netizens joked that this is a bit like a reversal of the natural order, but it must be said that Faker’s ability to maintain such a high level of play owes much to the emergence of top mid-laners in the LCK over recent years, like ShowMaker and Chovy. Both were once considered prodigies and potential successors to Faker, yet they are still overshadowed by him.

Farewell thoughts

It’s surprising that Faker has such a detached attitude toward life. Previously, many thought he was just playing a role, but now at 30, he remains so indifferent. Could there really be an issue? Many fans hope he will consider the next stage of his life. They don’t want him to devote his entire life solely to the professional stage. Currently, Uzi might be the best example—also a top player but now enjoying both family and career success, soon expecting his second child.
