Faker's wit was on full display.
On the YouTube channel 'Bba-donuts' run by Moon Sang-hoon, a video titled 'Faker vs. Faceker! A Battle of Wits in a Line Battle Talk Show with the God' was uploaded.
In the video, Moon Sang-hoon introduced Faker, saying, "I don't really play games, so I'm not sure, but it seems like he's very famous since we rented a bigger studio today. The producer was also making a big deal about it, so if you're that popular, why don't you say something?"
Faker responded with a clever "clip-clop" sound. Moon Sang-hoon, with a serious face, asked, "Do I look like someone who jokes around?" Faker quickly replied, "Yes." Moon Sang-hoon, slightly taken aback, said, "That's true, but aren't we in the middle of an interview?" to which Faker apologized.
Moon Sang-hoon continued, "So, are you really that famous?" Faker introduced himself, saying, "I've been active for a long time, and I've been a player for SK Telecom T1 for 13 years." Moon Sang-hoon then asked for a three-line acrostic poem, but Faker corrected him, saying, "If you do it like that, it becomes a five-line poem for 'SKT,' and you should start with 'S' for a three-line poem."
Moon Sang-hoon replied, "If you understood, you could just do it roughly. Why are you being so precise?" Faker apologized again, saying, "I'm sorry, I just don't like losing," which brought laughter.
Meanwhile, Faker, born in 1996, is a professional League of Legends player from South Korea. He holds unparalleled records in the League of Legends World Championship, the pinnacle of esports, and the LCK, one of the four major leagues.
