eSports in Korea is more than a game. eSports to Korean people is what Rugby is to New Zealand, or Soccer is to Brazil. There are many other nations where e-gaming is quickly gaining popularity, but no one can beat South Korea. This industry offers career growth, lots of money, fame, and potential for everyone who likes esports.

We have decided to take a look and explore a bit more about personalities, companies, and other stakeholders running the game in South Korea.

We will create a series of articles in this series. So, stay tuned.

To start with, we have decided to list down three Korean players who are or had ruled the eSports world.

It is impossible for anyone talking about eSports in Korea and not discussing Faker. If you are a good player, you will often be compared to him – and that is a compliment in itself. Faker’s real name is Lee Sang-hyeok, and he is known for his exceptional talent in the game League of Legends. He started playing the game when he was 15 (in the year 2011). Average gamers would take around five years to perfect their skills; however, Faker took only one year.

So, far he has earned around $1,255,465.80 in eSports. But that is not the only thing that makes Faker, Faker. He is also known for his donations and always looking forward to positively contribute to the global gaming community.

Recently he has donated generously to help fight Coronavirus. 

And some of his other positive messages…

Tell us which champion you would like to see Faker play at Rick Fox’s Champions for Charity Livestream to benefit @ReliefBahamashttps://t.co/I70QaLRrH5
