Faker faces malicious slander, Korean internet erupts! The top figure in the league, no tax evasion situation exists.

Hello to all LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is Global Game Hub.

The biggest news in the second phase of LCK this year is undoubtedly the Ruler tax evasion incident. After the tax evasion details were exposed, Ruler's public image collapsed outside the arena, and he will face penalties.

Recently, a new wave of controversy arose in LCK, also related to tax evasion, involving Faker and Gumayusi.

Faker maliciously reported, Korean media clarifies.

The situation is like this: someone posted on the Korean GEN fan forum, the content roughly suggesting that to cover up the Ruler tax evasion incident, a more influential person needs to be exposed for a similar event to divert attention. Subsequently, many negative posts emerged alleging that Faker's building also had tax evasion issues.

After these allegations surfaced, they quickly caused negative impact, but soon the Korean media outlet Globale published an article proving Faker's innocence—Faker Company building management has no legal flaws.

Media reports stated that the tax-related legal procedures for the building owned by Faker's personal corporation "Faker Company" have all been concluded. Due to recent tax evasion controversies involving other players (Ruler), Faker's building also attracted attention.

According to investigations and existing evidence, Faker's building currently has no liens or guarantees related to tax authorities. The liens or guarantees shown in negative posts regarding Faker's building were previously resolved perfectly. Currently, Faker's building management has no legal flaws.

Taking legal action against online defamation.

In short, Ruler/GEN fans attempted to divert attention from Ruler's off-field舆论 by dragging other players into the issue, finding content alleging tax evasion in Faker's building. After publicizing these allegations, they were strongly refuted by Korean media with facts.

Additionally, Faker's former championship teammate Gumayusi also faced similar online rumor defamation. After clarification, the agency representing Faker and Gumayusi directly stated that they will take legal action against recent defamation, pursuing civil and criminal legal measures.

Such measures are necessary because the cost of spreading online rumors is indeed too low. It is essential to step up and punish such behavior to purify the online environment. By prosecuting a group of rumor-spreaders, it can effectively deter malicious fans who use improper means to smear disliked players.

Actually, similar situations occur in the LPL region. Uzi's wife, Aomimi, previously faced malicious attacks from netizens, including many defamatory rumors, causing severe negative impact. Aomimi directly chose legal action, resulting in many rumor-spreading netizens tearfully apologizing, and even some faced social consequences affecting their families, receiving due punishment.

Faker holds the Blue Dragon Medal, flawless off-field.

It is important to know that Korean President Lee Jae-myung, at the Blue House New Year reception earlier this year, awarded Faker the highest honor in Korean sports, the "Blue Dragon Medal." This medal is usually awarded by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, but under special circumstances by the President personally, indicating the high level of regard for Faker.

On the other hand, Faker earning this medal isn't solely based on achievements. Before awarding such a top-level medal, a series of investigations are conducted to assess whether the player deserves it.

Since Faker has already received this medal, it proves he absolutely could not have any tax evasion issues. It can only be said that this wave of malicious rumor-spreading targeted the wrong person. As almost the sole exemplary idol in esports competitions, Faker's off-field conduct is nearly flawless.

Personally, I believe Faker is the most genuine professional player in League of Legends and even the entire esports industry. In terms of esports spirit, no other player can compare. He has influenced and inspired countless people. Faker also understands the principle that "he who wears the crown bears its weight," always严格要求 himself, including his言行举止, to set a positive example. This is precisely the most admirable aspect of him as the top figure in League of Legends.
