Faker's China tour has become a sensation! Sky-high tickets sold out instantly, even pricier than concert tickets, showing the strong support from fans.

Greetings to all LPL fans and League of Legends summoners, welcome to Tianxia Game Report.

The greatest victors of the S15 season are still T1 and Faker, who accomplished an unmatched three-peat. After winning the championship and adjusting their lineup, they secured the KeSPA Cup again, showcasing overwhelming dominance.

Lately, Faker's China fan meeting has gone viral, sparking widespread discussion because of the sky-high ticket prices.

Faker's China tour is on fire, with premium tickets snapped up quickly.

Generally, after a team wins the World Championship during the off-season, the club tries to participate in various commercial events to capitalize on the champion's popularity and generate significant revenue, since most teams operate at a loss. Winning the championship is a great opportunity to profit or offset losses.

T1 is no exception. After finishing their KeSPA Cup journey, Faker will start a China tour event, essentially a fan meeting, which will take place at the Science Fiction Museum in Chengdu.

However, the ticket prices for this fan meeting shocked the audience: the cheapest tickets, located far from the idol, were priced at 1588 yuan, followed by 1888 yuan for inner area tickets, 2988 yuan for Package C, 4988 yuan for Package B, and the most expensive Package A at 6988 yuan.

The packages include many perks. For example, Package A (limited to 52 sets) grants eligibility for a friendly match, a 1v6 group photo, and numerous gifts. Other packages also offer interactive experiences, while the spectator tickets only come with small gifts. Despite the high prices, all tickets sold out shortly after going on sale.

Pricier than concerts, Faker's fans show strong support.

Many viewers exclaimed that these ticket prices exceed those of concerts and seem unreasonable. Yet, considering that this fan meeting is fundamentally different from a concert and sells fewer tickets, it is essentially an exclusive event for Faker’s dedicated, spending fans, with a high entry barrier.

The key point is the sincerity of the fan meeting and whether it justifies the price. Only fans who attend can judge this. With so many devoted supporters, Faker and the organizers will surely put in corresponding effort.

Looking globally, Faker is the only player in the LOL scene capable of hosting such a fan meeting. As a continuing legend in League of Legends, Faker has created many incredible achievements that fans could hardly imagine, earning countless honors and truly deserving this level of fan support.

If any other professional player held such a meeting and charged these prices, they would definitely face heavy criticism, similar to what happened with the esports Hall of Fame.

The commercial value is immeasurable; to wear the crown is to bear its weight.

In my opinion, Faker has almost become an iconic figure in LOL esports. His influence seems to extend beyond the LOL community. Even after retirement, Faker’s words and actions will continue to attract public attention.

Previously, Faker even had a conversation with the South Korean Prime Minister, which made audiences see him as a pure esports professional. For decades, he has remained focused and passionate, starting anew every year with full dedication to his new journeys. Throughout this, he has maintained good lifestyle habits, embodying the best image of a professional player.

Reaching such heights, Faker has never been free from pressure and criticism. To wear the crown is to bear its weight. The expectations for Faker are far higher than for any other player. Simply put, even after winning many championships, if he fails to win next year, many will still question his status as the top player.

Even the LCK region and Riot itself hope for new players to end Faker’s legend. The LCK is reluctant to award Faker the most prestigious honors. In a way, Faker and T1 are the "villains" of esports, using their immense strength to challenge the world.
