Born in Seoul, South Korea on May 7th, 1996, he and his brother were raised by their grandparents and their father Lee Kyung-Joon. As a child, he was an avid lover of puzzles and video games and would be engaged in those activities for hours long at a time. Some of these activities would be playing “Warcraft III” and the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) “Chaos.”
When he finally discovered “League of Legends” in 2011, he quickly switched gears and became a prodigious player in this multiplayer online battle arena game. Over the course of 2 years, Faker would hone his talents in the competitive sector of League of Legends and eventually get chosen to play for a competitive team called SKT. There, he became national champion within two seasons and go on to repeat that feat five more times which led his team to be virtually undefeated.
