Hot Girl Sparks Controversy After Being Labeled as “Faker’s Girlfriend”
As many may know, the League of Legends (LoL) community has been abuzz over recent news regarding a hot girl rumored to be the girlfriend of Faker. This rumor has captured the attention of fans and sparked heated discussions. If it were any other player, it might not have drawn much interest, but since it involves the “G.O.A.T of the LoL scene,” the conversation has become quite significant.
However, due to the attention drawn to Faker, the individual in question, Minji (the hot girl associated with the rumor), has faced significant backlash. Recently, she locked down all her social media accounts, including Instagram and Threads. Prior to her decision, she had garnered nearly 13k followers on Instagram, a notable number for someone who isn’t a celebrity.
Faker’s Situation: A Recent Example of Idolization in Esports
In reality, the notion of esports or specifically LoL players having significant others is not a new topic, but it has become more scrutinized. Even within the LoL community, fans often expect their favorite players to quickly have partners or at least to be dating someone. In the past, rumored relationships have reportedly contributed to players like Ambition and Doinb’s success in tournaments.
As Faker continues to be idolized in the LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea), the focus on his personal life has intensified. According to various reports, numerous fans have targeted Minji and pressured her to lock her accounts to “avoid harassment.” Meanwhile, on many platforms, the esports audience has been relatively accepting of the news regarding Faker’s rumored relationship, acknowledging that he is approaching 30 and that his illustrious career is hard to surpass, at least in the near future.
Historically, other players like Ruler and Gumayusi have also faced scrutiny regarding their relationships. Additionally, even if T1’s other players haven’t publicly acknowledged their dating lives, they have still faced similar pressures due to the high-profile nature of the team.
