Description
Wearing shirts adorned with his name and waving banners displaying his face, the frenzied crowd in Hangzhou was not waiting to catch a glimpse of a pop star, but rather a video gamer -- Lee Sang-hyeok, better known as "Faker”. The 27-year-old professional eSports player was part of the South Korean national team that defeated Taiwan in the final of League of Legends during the Asian Games. "Faker being able to come the Asian Games is an explosive news for our entire fan community," says a 23-year-old Chinese fan. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
