RapidStar, then-coach of SK Telecom T1: It was his first time crying in front of the camera, but it wasn't my first time seeing him cry after major games. For example, in 2017 MSI, even after we won the finals, Faker cried backstage because he is a perfectionist. He has a very high standard for himself and if he feels he doesn't meet the standard or hasn't accomplished or met his standard, he gets really upset and frustrated.
It wasn't my first time seeing him cry, but when I did see him crying in front of the camera, I felt really sorry because I felt like I could've done more as a coach to perfect him. I know how much Faker tries. Everyone knows Faker as this genius player, but it's just not that. He tries really hard. He practices a lot. There's a lot to Faker that people don't know about. His personality as a perfectionist is what makes him Faker.
