Things got out of hand when Faker got an Aatrox in his team that simply ran it down and started a surrender vote, as he went 0/16/2. The Aatrox during the game was the substitute top laner of LPL team TOP Esports, namely Qingtian, who has allegedly shown this kind of behavior in the past. During the livestream Faker talks about him not responding to any pings, saying he’ll report him at the end of the game.
Faker also talked about Chinese pro players getting super accounts on the Korean server, which he thinks is still a bad move. “I don’t get why the Chinese pros get super accounts on the Korean server. There’s probably a reason but it shouldn’t be able to affect the server negatively. There’s so many guys that are like that right now and I’ve been enduring it since 2015.”
It’s not the first time Faker has spoken out about the state of soloqueue, as he regularly faces these kinds of issues. Back in 2020 it became clear that in China people are betting on soloqueue games, with players trying to disrupt the games of pro players to make them lose and make money, with Faker being a prime target.
