Faker turned down a $20M contract to play in China.

#shorts #gaming #leagueoflegends #faker

That’s A LOT of money.

On Doublelift’s Trash Talk podcast — T1’s CEO Joe Marsh revealed that Faker brushed off an insane contract from an LPL team during his free agency.

But Faker is not about that life.

that one bedroom apartment in that hit me hard man lol

[TheMrBonzz]

Faker could've call in retirement now and he would be set for live especially with him owning part of T1, but nah Goats gotta Goat.

[coledorillo]

Sheesh, that toronto line is straight fax.

Young Canadian adult here, i have no clue where im going to live

[siilkyjohnson]

The Toronto apartment ain't no lie tho. Hahah you'll get a 900 square footapartment for 1 million $

[mandycruz]

after what they did to bengi, faker's not gonna join LPL. and LPL is not just trying to get him to win, but also because Faker is League of Legends. One of the reasons why retired players like me are still watching LoL pro matches is because Faker's in it. Which means if they get faker, all eyes will be on them. And that is a massive publicity and sponsor magnet.

[malsawmzela]

He even turned down a blank check lol.

[Cssisabeautifulthang]

He could live comfortably in an American hospital

[CommonwealthDank]

He doesn't wanna get locked down in Shanghai with no food

[Cruwev]

I remember seeing him say he very rarely ever spends money on other things that food and all that

[MarcoCS]

China: I give you 20M if you join with us.
Faker: No.
China: Why?
Faker: I don't need that, I want Trophy

[makeenlabat]

hello hope everyone's having a good day. Also if you play league you're a virgin.

[BrahmaDBA]

At his stage of life where he has more money than he could spend he is probably thinking about leaving a legacy. Playing in China will make him rich but his legacy won't be as solidified due to the lack of possibilities for his life there.

[jackg]

Hé makes like 6.8 m a year with t1 so don’t feel to bad for him

[vaporeonvex]

literally said no to 20 mil

Faker Male Grindset

[dryppio]

No, most impressively, he could buy a valorant skin! 😱😱😱

[legcyzer]

I hate the point that gaming is just business nowadays, sure its great thing for everyone but I dont want to reach to the point that you just play just for the money, no fun and new experience, just money... But this is pointless cuz nowadays money can buy everything even happiness

[itsmerota]

Is not about the money I guess. He's already comfortable in Korea, also imagine if a faker goes to china, he needs to learn a new language and it will turn into a communication issue and down his performance just like nuguri. And then after a year, he leaves or back to Korea again. Building chemistry is really important for esport players because they're a team and meeting new people? you need time to do it. I see no problem now, as you can see T1 right now is incredible because the chemistry is there already.

[arifjonatan]

Faker is smart. Chinese team can offer 20M, but they may not be able to pay it. LoL.

[crem]

The real question is how many big macs he could buy with 20 million

[auraofeden]

nothing compares to the glory of being the very best, the ultimate standard fellas
