While it's a little late for Faker's actual birthday (it was May 7th), it's never too late to celebrate one of the best and most iconic League of Legends players in the world. Freshly in his 18th year of life, Faker's birthday arrived on the eve of the 2014 All-Star event, where his team is currently the favorite coming into the final match of the tournament, thanks in no small part to Faker himself. Though he'll certainly have time to enjoy this special occasion, for now, he's deep in the war zone of international competition. Luckily, he's been surrounded by players and fans who have been treating him like not only the birthday boy, but an international legend. Even in defeat, his opponents have relished the opportunity to meet him in battle, resulting in some awesome post-game exchanges between this Korean terror and his defeated foes, and the French crowd went as far as to sing Faker a hearty birthday song as captured in the video above.
As SKT T1 K look to continue their undefeated All-Star run, we're keeping Faker in the spotlight to celebrate his big day and even bigger accomplishments on the Rift. So help yourself to some birthday cake (that's a lie, there's no cake), and check out the gallery below for glorious shots of our eternal senpai, as well as some of his biggest fans.
