'Xiaohu is who Faker fans think he is' (rough translation)
Xiaohu embodies the image Faker fans envision of the Demon King') - Tweeted by MC Thorin.
Immediately, this somewhat misguided comparison drew numerous criticisms from the League of Legends community in general and Faker's fans in particular. Considering their head-to-head history and achievements, Faker vastly outshines Xiaohu. Furthermore, WBG's mid lane has always been Faker and T1's Achilles' heel in Worlds. Despite owning 2 MSI trophies with RNG, Xiaohu has yet to secure a Worlds title.
MC Thorin has since deleted his controversial post, but the backlash against him shows no signs of abating. This backlash is a consequence of Thorin's penchant for controversial statements, especially given his prominent role as an MC known for similar questionable remarks over the years.
