An LPL Superstar Confirms the Intense Training Schedule of the Players, Earning Even More Sympathy for Faker from Fans.
LPL Superstar Acknowledges the Grueling Training Regimen of Players, Making Fans Understand Faker’s Situation Even More
In a recent statement, Elk, the AD Carry of Bilibili Gaming, shared insights into the life of a professional player at this time. Interestingly, despite being in an off-season period, some LPL players, including Elk, still maintain a rigorous practice schedule similar to when they are actively competing in tournaments. Additionally, Elk also revealed details about the demanding and grueling training sessions.
"I have been following this intense training routine for the past 3 years. When I start practicing, I don’t allow myself to rest until at least 5-6 in the morning the next day," Elk shared.

In the past, many players have admitted to such an exhausting "try-hard" training schedule. A prime example is Doinb, who, during his active competition days, would often dive into ranked matches until the early morning, even after just finishing a game.
For older players like Faker, who are in such a demanding environment, training is far from easy. Even though Faker has achieved an unshakable position in the esports world, his professional spirit pushes him to never slack off. His hand injury is a clear testament to the intensity of his routine.

Faker’s injury is just one of many challenges in the world of professional League of Legends.
Injuries among League of Legends players, and esports athletes in general, are not uncommon. However, Faker’s case is different. While others have retired upon realizing their injuries, Faker continues to play relentlessly.

Faker's injury has now reached a critical stage, as has been widely reported in the media. If his training schedule is as grueling as Elk’s, even if he retires, it’s clear that it will take a very long time for the 'Demon King' to fully recover his hand.
