T1 truly spoils him! Faker has received the highest honor in Korean sports and now dominates the big screens in Seoul!

Faker has emerged as a superstar in Korea’s sports industry, with many equating Lee Sang-hyeok’s name to that of football star Son Heung-min. Not long ago, he received the top honor in Korean sports, the Blue Dragon Medal, handed out by the Korean President himself! This award is very special, given only to those who have made major contributions to sports in Korea. It covers international events like the Olympics, Paralympics, Asian Games, and World Cup, and is also awarded to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to Korea. Past recipients include footballer Son Heung-min, figure skater Kim Yuna, baseball player Park Chan-ho, and golfer Park Se-ri. In the esports world, Faker stands alone as the sole honoree!

Looking back at Faker’s entire career, despite being an older pro player, he has consistently maintained excellent form. He is regarded as the most outstanding and dominant player in League of Legends history, comparable to Michael Jordan in basketball! He holds numerous LCK championships and has won six of the most prestigious World Championships in League of Legends, cementing his status as the greatest player ever. And this is not the end—this new year, he and his team T1 are ready to face fresh challenges! As the joke goes, whenever people doubt Faker, he proves himself with a seventh championship, showing he remains the king of this era, still capable of winning and continuing to win!

After Faker received the highest honor in Korean sports, the Blue Dragon Medal, T1 has been extremely supportive of their captain, securing multiple prominent advertising spots across Seoul to celebrate and promote this achievement. This honor is not only a personal triumph for Faker but also a proud moment for T1, as he represents both a player and a team shareholder, making them inseparable. Whether Faker can lead T1 to new glories this year remains to be seen—we eagerly await!
