The only pinned thing that needs to be said is faker is still just human. He’s the greatest league of legends player of all time, but still struggles, makes miss plays and holds himself to an ungodly high standard. Obviously he’s in a slump right now and this clip shows he is at a tipping point with himself. I hope he rests and refocuses, it’s gotta be hard being faker!❤

[KurayamiKaiser]

See Faker is a gamer, like the rest of us. And when you are the eldest leading younger people than you into a game and make mistakes, you’ll be frustrated as you feel like you failed them. Everyone has bad games

[CodenameMood]

Faker has to feel that frustration tenfold because he is the most revered and looked-up to player in the world, it is far too much mental weight to be put on his shoulders.

[ToxiqSnaiQ]

being perfect makes any small imperfection hurt like a sting

imagine having a bad day

[deathragh]

I've never seen someone so in need/deserving of a break....

[Real_Prxy]

Cant believe this actually happened, hope our goat can recover from this

[qua]

Its wild how this guy won worlds 4 times and he's still this hungry to win, he is really HIM.

[shironeko]

This broke my heart. Not them losing the game, but how Faker hurt himself.

[sleebyshedinja]

The average league player already breaks down in their silver ranked game. Now imagine having to uphold your image of best player in the world.

[Hfron]

Props to Guma, in situations like this even a close friend can freez up in surprise, and with other people around sometimes noone will do anything at all.

[SunnyMcvin]

Props to Gumayusi for immediately stepping in to stop him.

"Faker's in a tough position. He can't only be good at the game, he must be good at other things as well. He has to lead his team and as a symbol, he's not allowed to be unstable. Non-stop for 11 years and on. Doesn't that sound suffocating?"

When Seong K said this in the HoL documentary, I truly realized the weights of responsibility Faker has on his shoulder. He's been there since the start; the most iconic player/veteran of all time who's well known for being mentally resilient. When his teammates are upset he's there to cheer them up because he has been there before. So when seeing him at a such vulnerable state, the fans can't help but sympathize for him. He's going too hard on himself because he doesn't want to disappoint his fans, and perhaps himself. I hope he'll be able to some proper help because prioritizing mental and spiritual health is much more important

[OsmanPostmann]

Even the Goat loses his mental playing this game. Can't blame him.

[valoremvita]

DAMN FAKER Really is the GOAT holy hell he still cares after 11 year wtf

[gregthewalnut]

Can you imagine the PRESSURE? Here’s hoping that he takes some time off, maybe even considers retirement. The GOAT doesn’t need to be the greatest for all time.

[tropheesy]

theres so much weighing on him; i understand the feeling of self harming under pressure. he needs a deserved break. i feel so bad for him.

[drix]

Hurting himself rather than hurting others

[MillionMUFFIN]

I'm so glad it wasn't some clip of him being controversial or anything. Honestly I feel for him.

[Iznikroc]

Faker is human and feels human emotions like everyone else

[taylorchristian]

I see a man with a lot of pressure on his shoulders. I hope he can find some peace.
