[INTERVIEW - FAKER Lee Sang-hyeok]
Ready? Hello. It's very nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too. I'm a fan of yours. Thank you. Okay, standby. [Moon Sang]
I am here today with T1's mid laner, Faker. Many of you guys might know him, but for those who don't, I'll provide a short introduction. He's a League of Legends
Korean national team player. The first player
to get a gold medal in the Asian Games. Most LCK matches played, and most wins. The player with the most kills and most assists. The player who won the LoL World Cup 4 times. He's like a national treasure, and the best player acknowledged
by reporter Moon Sang. He's Messi on the soccer field,
Michael Jordan in basketball; Roger Federer in tennis,
and Moon Sang in reporting. Has the king come back?
No! He has never left. "The king is back?
No! I never left." I give you T1's Mid Laner, Faker. - Hello.
- Hello. Please introduce yourself. [Lee Sang-hyeok T1 FAKER]
Hello. I'm Lee Sang-hyeok, a.k.a. Faker,
and I'm a professional gamer and a member of T1. You entered the Hall of Legends
in League of Legends for the first time. - Congratulations.
- Thank you. As a fan, I was thrilled. I'm looking forward to Ahri's skin, too. Yeah, it's going to be pretty. Could I get a handshake? Thank you. You know there's a trending meme
worshiping you these days? What do you think of that? I often see the comments
people leave on social media, and I've come across a lot of those memes. So I think they're cool, and I'm thankful that
so many people are interested. I'm not usually like this,
but my face feels really hot. Is there something you would like to say
to the other members of T1? Just a short message. I have grown and come this far
thanks to our members so, I would like to say thank you
for playing all these games with me. I think it was said perfectly
with the dignity of a legend. If you don't mind... I heard that [Simple 'dad jokes' quiz time]
you like dad jokes. I prepared some simple ones. Would you like to hear them? I brought some dad jokes related to you. Okay, first question. If Faker falls down? [Since Faker is considered a 'King']
King Kong. Oh... King Kong. Faker's hometown? I live in Seoul. Hometown Legends
(Korean Ghost Stories). [Since Faker is considered a 'Legend'] Why did Faker go to the dentist? To get his crown checked. [Comparing Faker to a king] [and playing with the word 'crown'] [Enjoying the wordplay]
I was 'throne' off guard. Now, I'd like to play with you, [LoL Champions Quiz, Charades]
a game where you guess the right champion. I came well prepared. - Here's the first quiz.
- Okay. - We're playing Charades.
- Yup. I know. Braum. I haven't done it yet. Oh, sorry. I was going to do Ahri, by the way. Ahri? Next champion. Again, it's Charades. Urgot's Ult! The answer is Lee Sin... It was Lee Sin. Sorry. I don't think I got the motions
from the game, right, which caused some confusion for Faker. I apologize. Let's go with the last one. Oh, I know! Tahm Kench. I didn't do it yet... I was going to do LeBlanc... I got confused... Sorry. No, I'm sorry. Sorry. We had so much fun that time just flew by. Would you like to say something to your fans? It's a pity we couldn't spend more time together. So many of you congratulated me
on entering the Hall of Legends for which I am so grateful to all my fans. Please keep giving us that attention and love. You love your fans, don't you? Yes, very, very much. He loves his fans! I'm sorry. It was an interview with Faker so far. Thank you, Faker, for being with us today. Thank you. - Great job, today.
- That was great. Do you play LoL as well? Yes, I do from time to time. Let's play together sometime. Duo? Should we do a duo? Thank you for today. So, that was our interview with T1's Faker. [Moon Sang]
Thank you for watching. He asked me to play with him. Oh my gosh! He asked... He asked me if I liked LoL. Is this for real? Is it? There was a commotion for a moment. I apologize for that. I think e-sports was able to develop thanks to the players doing their best,
the growth of a strong fandom, and the active national interest in the field. - It was so much fun.
- Thank you for your hard work. I was in the middle of reporting, so... Thank you. Take care. It was Moon Sang for the 9 o'clock news. Hurry, I need to get his signature. Me too! Faker, wait! Wait, I want one too! I'm really a fan. I cried a lot last year. Take good care of your health, and please play for a very long time. You're the best. Oh, it tickles. I love you! Sorry. Could I also get a signature, please? Sure, where...? I don't have a paper on me, so could you sign on to my camera? - Your camera?
- Yes, please. Sure. Wow, this is so cool.
