[Interview] Faker and Deft Are High School Friends?!

Deft is known as one of LCK's greatest bot laner of all time. But did you know that he wasn't regarded as the best player during his time in high school?

Faker and Deft used to attend the same high school. Maybe it's because the two has never been in the same team before, or that they are rivals here in the LCK, but the fact that the two studied in the same building during high school came awkwardly to me. Two of the best players in the world, coming from the same school; it's hard to imagine.

Were Faker and Deft friends during high school? Do they even remember each other? Let's find out!

[anyhow]

Two highschool friend met once again in the grand final of an international tournament to fight for a title which would became their legacy, one fought to bring back his old dynasty, and the other fought to usurp the throne, for one last time. It doesn't get anymore anime than that lmao

[garbongo]

Imagine the school.
“Yeah, we produced two of the top gamers in the world.”

[amulia]

imagine being ranked top 100 in soloque, only to realize rank 1 is also in your school.

[peterboylan]

Imagine being challenger in high school and realising ur not even close to being the best player in the school

[soulawaken]

3 years later. Meeting at Worlds Finals. What a plot man. There should be a documentary series about these two in the future.

I love Faker's awkward responses to other players. He doesn't remember accepting Deft's friend request, and in an interview that included Smeb, Smeb asked Faker what he thought of him, and his answer was, "Nothing."

[Tynine]

And now Deft is closer than ever before to take his first ever Worlds Title, amazing

[willho]

Deft is so shy! Hope his teammates are kind around him.

[zenkygems]

This ages so well, they are meeting each other in the 2022 World Final

[dlz]

2:15 I’m a bit late, but when I first watched this I thought Faker was flaming Deft but actually Faker is the blitzcrank LOL

[avrmmqnly]

Deft : sang hyeok you won too many times let me win too.

Faker : ok

[CS-Student]

Man Deft is so wholesome, I feel like I'd just want to hang out with him and have a beer or two

[RatjaR]

This appeared on my homepage after DRX and T1 made it to the semifinals hopefully they can face each other in the final :D T1 Fighting

[Errors]

A normal high school having crazy gamers that are now competing for worlds final, both viewed as the main character for their teams story.

[ryugaroxas]

what is that expression on faker face during this whole conversation . I thought Deft was just a really cool and not talkative guy but turns out he was just shy . Cute

[dhilipraja]

As a T1 fan, after this video, I don't care if DRX win. This guy is too good.

[qzhzrm]

I wish they’d get closer and comfortable with each other... they’re so awkward hahahaha

[hainguyn]

"you won too many times, let me win too"

[yun]

After 3 years we are here. In the finals.

[CrescentedPotatoe]

Here after worlds 2022 semis, damn they are now both facing each other in the finals. What a time to be alive
