Preface: With the S16 season about to start, most players have been focused on the recent offseason. The LCK region has seen numerous revisions over the past two years, and the preseason entertainment matches have become a major point of interest for many players. This time is no different. The LCK officially announced the lineup for this preseason, with the mid-lane team still favored to win the championship. Led by Faker, they are expected to easily overpower the other four teams. During an interview, Faker openly mocked Ruler with a four-line quatrain, pointing out that even though the matches have started, Ruler's hair hasn't grown back yet, still showing a bald head. Ruler's face turned bright red but he had no response.

Faker composed a four-line quatrain to mock Ruler.

Most players are quite interested in the LCK preseason. In recent years, to maximize the excitement around the matches, the organizers have tried every possible method to attract fans' attention before the season starts. This LCK entertainment match has indeed sparked worldwide discussion. This season, they again reorganized teams by position: top lane, jungle, mid lane, AD carry, and support. Five players in the same role formed teams to compete in this fun event. Many netizens still see the mid-lane team as the defending champions, given the strong skill level of LCK mid-laners.

Let's first look at the players in these teams: Top lane team includes Zeus, Kiin, Dudu, Doran, and Kingen. Jungle team has Oner, Kanavi, Willer, Cuzz, and Gideon. Mid lane team consists of Faker, Showmaker, Scout, Chovy, and Ucal. AD carry team features Ruler, Peyz, Teddy, Smash, and Diable. Support team includes Keria, Ghost, Keliin, Delight, and Life. Notably, only T1's starting five players all participated; other teams didn't have full representation. Even the well-known Gen.G team only had their three core players selected. Surprisingly, AD carry player "Little Lu Bu" did not take part in this entertainment match.

At the live press conference, Faker openly mocked AD carry Ruler. Probably only Faker could say something like this without Ruler daring to respond. Faker recited a Korean four-line quatrain, which roughly translates to: "Ruler's big bald head must have enjoyed a lot of good food. The games are about to start, so why hasn't your hair grown back yet?" This quatrain caused the audience to burst into laughter. Faker's opening and closing lines hit perfectly, and Ruler slapped his forehead, completely unable to hold back. It must be admitted that Faker's showmanship is truly top-notch. As the most senior player in the League of Legends scene, he can freely tease any professional player.

Truth be told, nowadays no LCK player dares to challenge Faker. Being invited to the Korean president's banquet is something no esports player could have imagined. Even Chovy has lost his previous ambition, openly stating he no longer has goals and wants to play more relaxed matches. As long as Faker remains in League of Legends competitions, other players are merely princes in comparison. This is true not only within LCK but for League of Legends pros worldwide. One could say Faker alone carries the entire league's popularity, driving the excitement throughout the offseason. It's clear that the enthusiasm in several major regions and countries is largely fueled by him.

Farewell thoughts

Previously, Ruler was the one directing and teasing others, but this time he stumbled himself. Facing Faker's bald head taunt, he could only helplessly lower his head while slapping his forehead. Indeed, many esports players have won gold at the Asian Games, but only Faker has no military service obligations. Although other players were exempted from two years of service, they still have to undergo military training and community service. After all, within the LCK region, only Faker has been honored by the Korean president.
