Lee "
Faker" Sang-hyeok is the Mid Laner for SK Telecom T1, who is my favourite player all over the world.Faker's early gaming experience included custom maps on Warcraft 3, particularly Footman Frenzy and DotA. He started playing League of Legends when the Korean server opened in December 2011. He played
LeBlanc heavily, which allowed him to progress into a strong mid laner. He was picked up by SK Telecom T1 in February 2013 and played on their second team. He moved onto the first team in June and has remained there since (despite recent name changes by the team).
Trivia
Awarded Best Mid Laner at the 2013 Korean e-Sports Awards.
Believes every Mid Laner should be able to play
Twisted Fate because he teaches you to look at the mini map, and
Ryze because you learn the importance of hitting the right keys, in the right time and order.
Dustin Beck, the vice president of Riot games, said Faker is the "Michael Jordan" of League of Legends in a press conference at Staples Center.
Faker tends to play Gragas, LeBlanc, Riven, Zed, Ahri and Orianna.
He is considered the best League of Legends player in the world by many e-sports journalists and pro players such as Thorin, Alex Ich, and Maknoon who called him the "Lionel Messi of League of Legends".
Was highly regarded for his LeBlanc play during an OGN Spring match against MVP Blue where he went 11-0-2.
Is notable for not using any alternate skins for champions he plays. There are four known exceptions to this fact, the first was in Game 1 of the OGN Winter Grand Finals 2013 where he used Battle Bunny Riven. Faker went on to state that this was a mistake as the OGN staff check the players accounts before the games, and the tester of his account selected the skin - which Faker did not notice in Champion Select.The second time was at the 2014 League of Legends All-Star event, the entire line up of SKT T1 K used their team's respective champion skins, with Faker using SKT T1 K Zed. The third occurence happened in Game 1 against HUYA in the 2015 Champions Preseason when he picked Pulsefire Ezreal. The fourth time he used a skin was when they faced Incredible Miracle in 2015 LCK Spring Round Robin, where he used Lunar Goddess Diana in Game 1.

In SoloQ he always bans Garen, Galio and Gangplank, because they are the first 3 champions in the Korean champion roster.
Recently awarded for getting the first Pentakill in LCK Spring 2015 in their game against NaJin e-mFire with his LeBlanc.
When Faker makes an impressive play during the English casting of professional matches, they're commonly referred to as, 'Things Faker does' due to his reputation for consistent outstanding performances.
