The Resurrection of The Unkillable Demon King — The Rise Again

Arguably the greatest esports competitor that the world has ever seen, Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok helped build and define esports as we know it today. But even gods aren’t immune to the march of time. After making history with his third League of Legends World Championship victory in 2016, the Unkillable Demon King has been slowly declining, failing to produce results on both international and domestic stages. But in 2021, Faker transitioned from being the star player to a mentor of a team of rookie talent; a team he managed to lead straight to worlds. This is the Rise Again of Faker.
