On his birthday, close friends Park “Untara” Ui-jin, Lee “Wolf” Jae-wan, and Bae “Bang” Jun-sik threw a warm celebration for Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok in a friendly video setting. Members of T1’s ’96 lineup came together to enjoy a meal, discuss food, and naturally sing the popular Happy Birthday tune, complete with a bear-shaped cake as a thoughtful tribute for Faker’s special day.

On the occasion of Faker’s birthday, Untara made him model the recently launched 2025 Happy Faker Day Sleepwear. Faker found them incredibly comfortable and jokingly proposed wearing them even during practice sessions. These sleepwear items are now up for pre-order on T1’s official website.

The video proceeds as the four friends engage in a relaxed conversation about food. At a certain moment, the mid laner eases fan concerns by sharing that he’s been eating more and feeling fantastic. Later on, after they’ve enjoyed their meal and cake, Faker thanked fans for their support in helping the T1 Faker YouTube channel reach 2 million subscribers.

Honoring the G.O.A.T

Enthusiasts took advantage of the opportunity to pay tribute to one of the top League of Legends players globally by displaying their artwork in a unique slide. The artist known as fuwafyytime on X crafted an exquisite birthday masterpiece featuring Faker donning the latest T1 sleepwear. In this illustration, various adorable animals like a bear, penguin, squirrel, cat, and dog are depicted working together to decorate Faker’s cake.

Across various social media platforms, passionate admirers are celebrating Faker’s birthday with collages, videos, and sketches. The profound effect he’s had on the League of Legends community is evident. Over time, Faker has transcended his gaming skills to become a legendary icon, whose impact extends far beyond his gameplay. With a professional career spanning over 12 years, he boasts an impressive legacy marked by five League of Legends World Championships and 10 domestic LCK titles, making him one of the all-time greats (G.O.A.T.).
