Faker's content may not be everyone's cup of tea.
As known, recently T1 players have been taking a break, awaiting the start of the new season and Riot's updates on Preseason changes. Consequently, most players opt for ranked climb as a stress-relief method after exhausting match days. However, some players choose alternative content creation methods, attracting audiences while avoiding intense League of Legends matches. Recently, Faker is a prime example.
On a sunny day, T1's Midlaner decides to attempt solving South Korea's College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) for fun. For those unaware, South Korea offers one of the toughest college entrance exams in Asia. Moreover, Faker dropped out of school after grade 9 and is now 27 years old. Meaning, Faker hasn't studied or practiced anything other than focusing on professional League of Legends for about 11 years.
However, Faker's achieved scores are truly remarkable. He scored 54/100 in Literature and 72/100 in English. According to Korean netizens, Faker outperformed over 50% of the examinees in Literature and over 80% in English despite only casually solving without any preparation. Remarkably, Faker's English score is around level 3, surpassing 45% of South Korea's population.
Moreover, Faker's subsequent statement leaves gamers, especially students, in awe. T1's Midlaner jokingly remarks, 'After solving the test, I realize that being a professional gamer is the easiest thing I can do.' Notably, Faker is the most accomplished player in the League of Legends scene. With Faker's affirmation, it can be said that exams and studies are far more daunting and complex, especially with the vast amount of knowledge and pressure for achievements and expectations placed on every student.
However, with his 'unique' content, Faker's exam-solving session quickly captures the attention of the global League of Legends community, specifically, those interested in Korean entertainment. From this, it can also be observed: Faker is truly talented, and even after 11 years, he can still 'sweetly handle' exams to the best of his abilities.
