The inaugural inductees were chosen through a vote by regional experts, and on Thursday, May 23, 2024, Faker was selected as the first honoree.
As a member of the professional eSports team T1, Faker has competed at the top of League of Legends for over 12 years. His accolades include 10 LCK championships, 2 Mid-Season Invitational titles, and 4 World Championship victories. Known for his mastery of the game, he is often called The Unkillable Demon King.
