Foreword: The competition of the S15 season has officially begun, and I believe that the vast majority of players have paid attention to the confrontation in the recent period, and the second stage of the Lck division is very intense. There has been a lot of news about the T1 team in the past few days, as the top team in the LCK region, the T1 team has won five World Finals, and their mid-laner faker has become a five-star general. Just recently, a news released by the Korea Mint has attracted a lot of heated discussions among players, but they did not expect that they would launch a commemorative coin of professional player Faker Lee Sang-hyuk, which is divided into two gold commemorative coins, limited to 507 silver commemorative coins and limited to 2,000 pieces.
I believe that the vast majority of players are still familiar with faker, as recognized as the first person in the League of Legends, the overall popularity and popularity of Brother Li in recent years is very high, he has entered the finals of the World Finals for three consecutive years, won the championship of the World Finals for two consecutive years, and has become a five-star general in the LCK division. The five-time World Finals champion was S3, S5, S6, S13 and S14. Almost every game has played very well, and judging from the current game form, there should be no professional player who can surpass faker. The LCK region is also very protective of him, and both the team and the official have given him very favorable conditions.
Just recently, an announcement from the Korea Mint Corporation has attracted heated discussions among players across the network. The Korea Mint Corporation will launch a commemorative coin of faker Lee Sang-hyuk, a superstar and professional player belonging to T1, the world's leading e-sports club. The obverse of Faker's commemorative coin features a portrait of faker seated on a throne, and on the reverse is a handwritten GOAT and the crown representing the winner of his international competition. In addition, there are two types of commemorative coins, a total of 507 gold commemorative coins and 2,000 silver commemorative coins. This 507 happens to be Faker's birthday, May 7th. Truth be told, if this coin is put on sale, the price will definitely skyrocket, after all, in the esports industry, this should be the first commemorative coin about a player.
After seeing this, fans also said that the official will not print the five stars too early, after all, faker is still active on the professional stage, and his current state is also very stable, and he also has a more ambitious goal to win the sixth World Finals championship trophy for fans. At present, the official only announced the appearance and number of commemorative coins, and did not announce the price feeling of this commemorative coin. Judging from the current gold price, the price of this gold commemorative coin of faker should not be particularly low, and it is estimated that it is likely to reach the level of tens of thousands, and this may only be the sale price. When it comes to the secondary market, the price can only be higher.
So far, no professional player has been able to have such treatment, and Faker is basically a top-level presence in the LCK division, and can even be on an equal footing with professional players like Son Heung-min. In contrast, there really aren't such top professional players in the LPL region. So far, we have only won three World Finals, and each time we have won the championship without an all-Chinese team. Team IG, Team FPX, and Team EDG all have two Korean players. Coupled with the rapid decline in the popularity of the LPL division in the past two years, the overall quality of the team is getting worse and worse, and the hope of winning the championship in the all-Chinese class has become more and more slim.
Who would have thought that South Korea's mint would be able to create an exclusive commemorative coin for faker, an honor that is supreme for any professional player and can be said to be an official recognition. It feels like if the five-man group of the top team has not changed, the marketing enthusiasm of the T1 team may be higher this year, and it can only be said that a series of moves made by the T1 team management during the transfer period made them miss out on zeus, and they only need to add a little price to keep it.
What do you think about this?
