Faker wins yet another award to add to his trophy cabinet
Another trophy has been added to the already stacked cabinet of Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok. The arguably greatest player of all time has been awarded PC Player of the Year for the second year in a row at the Esports Awards.
The recently crowned world champion was voted ahead of the likes of Tyson “TenZ” Ngo, CS2 star Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, and fellow mid lane rival Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon. T1 CEO Joe Marsh was in attendance in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to accept the award on Faker’s behalf, where the executive cited the adversity Faker has had to overcome this year. In 2023, Faker was forced to sit on the sidelines at one point during the 2023 LCK Summer Split due to injury. As a team, T1 then had well-publicized struggles in the LCK in 2024, and at one point cameras even caught Faker headbutting a wall after a loss, sparking concern. Marsh wrapped up the speech by presenting a video message from Faker himself. The five-time world champion thanked everyone for their continued support of him during his decade-long career and insisted on continuing to work hard.
