(London = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Yoon-jeong = ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok Lee, captain of the domestic League of Legends (LoL) T1 professional gaming team and winner of the 2023 World Championship (World Cup), featured in this the year’s list of the top 10 sports powers chosen by The Times every day in Britain.. I put my name up.

On the 15th (local time), The Times presented Faker as one of the 10 most influential figures in the world of sports and placed his picture in the center of the online version of the article.

The Times reported that Faker was nicknamed ‘The Unkillable Demon King’ and was a member of the Korean T1 team, which won the 2023 World Championship.

The Times doesn’t usually cover esports in its sports section, but said it won’t be long before Faker becomes a mainstream Olympic star like Usain Bolt.

In addition, The Times chose Yasir Al-Rumayan, the governor of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, as a key figure in the world of sports.

PIF owns the Saudi Arabian golf organization LIV Golf, and in the world of football, following the acquisition of Newcastle from the English Premier League (EPL) two years ago, it bought four Saudi league clubs this year.

In addition, soccer player Lionel Messi, who moved to the United States, Shohei Ohtani, who recorded the highest contract in MLB history (10 years and $700 million), Australian women’s soccer star Sam Kerr, influencer and mixed martial artist, etc. YouTuber KSI, who organizes boxing matches, was included in the power list.
