love them both - especially when you can see the differences in their personalities like this, but when it comes to mindset, drive, and values, they are completely aligned. That's what it means to be a top-level competitor.
This is such a wild crossover omg 😭 both so iconic and absolutely titans of their respective sports!!! Love the mature conversation and adorable interactions :))
For the non-esports viewers go look up “Faker: The Numbers” and keep in mind he is still playing and just won his 5th World Championship. He is indisputably the GOAT of Esports.
@@deadfromhell1235There’s definitely still a risk of it worsening. For someone who has never had it, they may never develop it. However, there’s always a chance of it coming back once you get carpal tunnel
I love the way the subtitles on this are stylized, shoutout to whoever edited it! And Faker and 김연경 have such natural chemistry, it's super nice to see!
I think it's literally the worst thing about this video, having to look everywhere for subtitles and they never look the same, it's annoying (also the notes are kinda cringe sometimes )
@@remigaillard4802 that's just how variety shows in South Korea goes, there's a lot to read in the screen to add more context, I think it's not that bad to read some more short lines, you can rewind the video too if you want to re-read the text
I doubt he didn't know anything about her, more like he just didn't know specific details, definitely just seems like he's socially anxious slightly. Still so cool to see him sitting down like this, I'm not even a fan of his but I can appreciate how great he's been for so long. Would be hard to pull off what he's done in any sport let alone 1 that is ever changing like league.
For those wondering, Olympics just announced the establishment of Olympic Esports Comittee a few months back. Really looking forward to LoL at Olympics and not just some random simulator games.
@@MrZeddddd that depends honestly, would the olympics pay more than the saudi's?. on the other hand, since olympics is every 4 years, they really would only need to factor it into their scheduling every quartet. which isn't that bad if they get included into the olympics. it'd be nice to see only the best players from every region playing though.
@@brentdecastro139 When it comes to Olympics, they take it very seriously. So, they will make sure that Faker and his team will be able to participate without any scheduling problem.
@@allisterfield6028 If olympic esports get treated seriously and the competition gets even close to the same weight as other olympic sports, the money should not matter. Its the Olympics, for most sports and athletes its the absolute peak any person can ever achieve. And that prestige is universal.
Having this on the officialy Olympics channel is huge. It's thrilling to think that one day we might see a League of Legends tournament being officially sanctioned by the IOC
3:06 Even Koreans think Faker expressions are soulless. I thought he was just shy doing english based interviews, but I guess it's just his personality 😂
@@martinkoitmae6655I remember that interview about his interests outside League and.. its just reading and piano.. no movies or other entertainment. He is razor focused on it.
Ironic that Faker is called a young one when he is a veteran of League lmao. Other fun fact for non-esports viewers. T1 Faker also beat the best team in South Korea and China which is GEN and BLG in LoL World Championship 2024.
@@leaguefixesyourmatches8259 Yeah, but the reason why OP said it's ironic is that, in the league/esports community, he's pretty much considered a grandpa at this point. It's so funny to see him being called a young one as a lol fan.
Faker is single handedly uplifting the image of esport player and is now a world class celebrity. He will forever goes into books of legend as one of the pioneer to esports being mainstream sport.
thank you for English subtitles,so we international fans can connect Kim Yeon Koung,i love her so much she's my one and only best volleyball player for me sorry to say that but it's true❤❤❤ and proud to be a part of JamJam she's amazing beautiful and handsome too,she's a star and a legend her name is never be forgotten ❤❤❤thank you for this video
When she says: "what if they dont listen to you?" Its a great question but like, its Faker. If he speaks everyone listens. He is on that level. He does not need to scream or curse. He does not really reflect perhaps the greatness that he has. Shy almost.
And faker also (kind of) brought ZOPGK that were struggling against lower placed LCK teams, to winning Worlds. (A lot of that might be due to lack of time to synergize with a new teammate but still)
cuteness and everything aside, the fact that this video is commissioned and presented by the olympics has to be an indication that esports might be coming to it in the future? not to hate on the olympics but their popularity has been waning recently
I mean lets be fair I'm with Faker she looks SUPER young. I would've bet money she was mid 20s with full confidence and LOST. She looks immaculate for 35. Also I love that she is GENUINELY having an impossible time trying to read Faker's body language, 😂😂😂😂😂
You should see KYK in variety shows! She has this awkward extrovert personality and everyone loves lol. Just a cherry on top to her world-class athletic abilities
"DON'T RETIRE!"
Kim Yeon-kyung out ther representing the entire LoL community.
Faker aiming for the olympics medal now
In 2025 he will win olympics
He has an Asian games gold medal, which at least in Korea is seen as an Olympic gold medal and exempts him from military service
its only a matter of time
Already have one

he seemed way more comfortable than usual on camera, i think he enjoyed this interview
I was about to make the same comment 😆 Faker is more on the introvert side, meanwhile Ms. MVP on the extrovert side, but still clearly they connected.

Esport Olympics incoming. LOL is among the pioneer games
TWO GOATS 🐐🐐👑
Faker out here representing the whole esports generations.
Faker being a pro for 11 years. If each generation is 4 years, an Average Pro Player has. He's a granpa.
I came for Faker but Kim Yeonkyung is super cool! Great to see two amazing athletes together
For the non-esports viewers go look up “Faker: The Numbers” and keep in mind he is still playing and just won his 5th World Championship. He is indisputably the GOAT of Esports.
I think he can play for another 10 years to be honest
@@martinkoitmae6655 nope, he'll prob play for 3 years max because his wrist is so fked up alr

He also mvp this year, cant believe were having two mvp in the same video
MVP of the final*
@@zymapwhich is the game that matters the most. So he is basically MVP of the GAME
@@miswaa3088 not quite how it works but you are entitled to your opinion
Faker Surprised
"Why do you look so surprised
Faker: Because you look so young
LOOK AT THE MOVES, FAKER WHAT WAS THAT
He clutched it
he used ignite there
Bro stole Rakan ult in real life and charmed everyone
in the clutch there's only faker
He flash dodged that ult.
She is so intense and I love it. They look like they've been friends for years.
I feel like Faker didnt knew anything about her but he acted both cute and smooth so noone could be mad.

GOAT AND GOAT
Seeing Faker smile and laugh 🥹
Enjoyable interview. Thank you.
She seems fun to be around
bro can't be cocky even if his life depends on it
how can he be this humble?
Hes well raised
Hes well trained*
What a fine quality

Absolute legends

상혁이형 말 잘한다 ㅎㅎ
Am I watching K-drama "They are so cute" 😅
Faker is the GOAT of all Esports 🤫
Do not retire, Unkillable Demon King!
He wont. He can easily play another 5-7 years I think.
I think 5 is where his max is, not like he'll be bad, but to move onto something new
The AURA between the two is insaneee!
The goat himself, Faker
If league was inducted into Olympic games then through out their whole run there would only be two champions, China and Korea.
Countries like Germany, US and France could fight for the bronze medal though
KIM 🥹🫶❤️
my GOAT being pretty cute today.
It feels so weird that Faker is the younger one😭🤣
That's amazing!
When she says: "what if they dont listen to you?" Its a great question but like, its Faker. If he speaks everyone listens. He is on that level. He does not need to scream or curse. He does not really reflect perhaps the greatness that he has. Shy almost.
What in the Crossover is this?
Our Goat Faker on the Olympics channel?
I'm hella proud 💪
Faker Aiming for that New Esports section of the Olympics 😂
This would be the first time ever seeing a surprised pikachu face expression of Faker during an interview 😂
They are so cute

My Yaki ❤❤❤

2:38 well T1 this year went from barely qualifying for worlds as LCK#4 seed to winning the Worlds.
And faker also (kind of) brought ZOPGK that were struggling against lower placed LCK teams, to winning Worlds. (A lot of that might be due to lack of time to synergize with a new teammate but still)
*Here before T1 fans find out this video* ✋
she is 36??????? Two GOATs
Great video! But subtitles kind of hard to read because of various fonts/colors/sizes, wish it were more consistent :)
Los verdaderos ídolos de Corea ❤
gano una temporada de la LCK invicto, tiene una medalla olimpica, claro que es el GOAT.
The GOAT featured?
9:01 Whoa that's an insane bar from him
Faker's pressence and achievement is what keeps League prestige
Faker GOAT
Here for Faker but learned something about Korean Pro Volleyball League
Kim Yeon-kyung: we went from being the last place team to the winning team"
Worlds 2024: T1 being the 4th and last seed of LCK and win Worlds 2024 😁😁😁

1:28 omg 😂😂😂
Did I just watch Faker get adopted?
does sort of have a big sister little brother vibe
Yes
My 🐐
Crossover I didn't expect.

Olympic esport will be in 2025 tho ...it's already confirm
