Picture: T1
The most popular sport in the world is football, the most popular anyway. There will certainly be discussions in the field of esports. But League of Legends seems like a tough user. A few days ago, we had the opportunity to meet two giants: one of football and the other of MOBA from Riot Games. Koreans and they had a shirt changing ceremony.
We obviously want to talk about the goat. fake (T1) and Tottenham Hotspur star Hyun Min’s son. Twitter, which is not a big network in South Korea, has 498,000 and 352,000 followers respectively.
Two jewels of South Korea
Faker and Heung-Min Son are South Korean gems. As a serious esports fan, you should have no problem placing a T1 mid laner. He is a three-time League of Legends world champion (2013, 2015 and 2016), as well as 2 MSI and several South Korean (LCK) champions. He is breaking record after record both individually and collectively and he is the goat of this game.
Someone who doesn’t follow football much may know the player a little less. However, Heung-min Son is a real diamond for the club or the national team. He has won numerous individual awards throughout his career. The all-rounder was named the team’s best player at Tottenham 3 times (in 2019, 2020 and 2022) and that’s no small feat when it comes to competing with British high society darling Harry Kane. He is very classy on the pitch and has won numerous awards for his performances. but ifsunnyHe is loved by Tottenham fans, and even more so by Korean fans at international matches. He has already played more than 100 matches with his country (33 goals) and notably won the Asian Games in 2018… thus freeing himself. Compulsory military service.
Who’s someone else’s fan?
It is difficult to know who is more popular between Faker and Heung-Min Son. But T1 players on Instagram like it Zeus and Silver They proudly showed off their shots with the soccer player. They are still young and the question does not really arise for them. Even if we love League of Legends, football remains much more watchable and especially affects all generations.
For reference, the South Korean national team captain admitted in a 2021 interview that he plays MOBA in his spare time. We don’t know if they have particularly good ratings, but a wink like that is always nice. This isn’t his first project with Faker either. They shot a commercial in 2020 Xbox Game Pass.
