Death threat against Faker: Police on the trail of the culprit
The past few months haven’t been easy for Faker, who had to take a break from LoL due to a serious injury. However, after his triumphant return to the field, his troubles are far from over as haters have once again targeted T1’s midlaner.
In fact, as reported by Jang Bo-in of Yonhap News, the Immortal Demon King has recently received a series of death threats. These threats have been taken very seriously by the Seoul police, who have initiated an investigation and are already on the trail of the perpetrator.
In short, it seems that the woes never end for the multi-time world champion, who now has to face the haters once again.
New death threats against Faker
Investigation underway
According to the report by reporter Jang Bo-in, the Seoul Metropolitan Police have opened an investigation into alleged death threats directed at Faker. The hater reportedly stated, “I will visit the T1 dormitory where Faker resides and cut his wrists.”
These are very strong statements that have prompted the authorities to launch an investigation to track down the culprit or culprits. Currently, the agents are attempting to trace the IP address of the alleged hater in order to bring them to justice.
This is a crime that South Korea takes very seriously, as statements made on the web carry the same weight as those made in real life.
LCK’s commitment
This atmosphere of escalating violence has triggered several alarms at LCK’s offices, which will have to work to increase the security of the LoL Park in Seoul for the rest of the season and also in anticipation of the 2023 Worlds, which will be held in Korea.
The league has issued an important statement in this regard (you can find it by clicking here), and has assured that everything will be done to ensure the well-being of the players and the audience attending the stadium.
