The universes of esports and football impacted by and by when T1 Faker traded pullovers with Korean football star Son Heung-min.
Simply seven days prior, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok and the T1 crew connected up with Son during Tottenham Hotspur’s worldwide pre-season visit. The English Premier League club’s most memorable stop was South Korea, where they confronted Team K League and Sevilla.
The T1 troop held up marked Hotspur shirts with their names printed over the football player’s number. Consequently, Son got his own red and dark T1 shirt endorsed by the LCK group.

Preceding the pullover trade, Faker hobnobbed with the Korean football star on a couple of events. The two featured in a progression of SKT promotions beginning around 2019. The T1 mid laner had responded to one of their prior plugs and lauded Sonny’s acting abilities.
After Tottenham’s last match in his nation of origin, Sonny offered his thanks. “The week went excessively fast for me. It was a fantasy. The fans were amazing,” he said in a meeting.
Son and his group head back to the United Kingdom for a pre-season match against Scottish club Rangers F.C. on July 23.
T1 presently holds a 9-1 record in the LCK and will confront Kwangdong Freecs this evening at 5 p.m. GMT+9 | 4 p.m. GMT+8 | 8 a.m. GMT | 1 a.m. PT.
