[@eyeslikeoceans]

Next time show Faker the clip of him eating boogers on stage. Ask him to reflect a bit and tell us about that moment and those times. Were the T1 chefs that bad or what? Does his boogers give secret powers or a boost to League of Legends IQ/mechanics? Can I try some if so?

[@eyeslikeoceans]

It's usually just miserable people projecting and wanting to drag down others, sadly celebs are easy and safe targets from the comfort of their toilet or bed. It's actually disgusting that he gets so much abuse when he's literally the most scandal-free and good hearted superstar of all time. He always works hard, treats people with the utmost respect, isn't greedy or buys flashy expensive things, gets caught partying too much and making scenes like 99.9% would do at his level of fame and wealth. League is truly blessed to have him as the face of it for so long, though I'm sure he's not perfect you can't deny he's too good for us and the game. Not worthy
