Article: "Do you consider esports to be sports?" Faker's respectful response
Source: Insight via Instagram
Faker: "When people normally think of sports, they think of something where you have to move your body, but what I find more important about sports is the entire process of preparing for a match and influencing people in a positive way that way. If someone feels inspired by watching you compete in something, then I think that's what the true meaning of a sport is."

[+290] He's really good at speaking..
[+289] He's so well-spoken...
[+128] Right question, right answer
[+104] I admit I had my own reservations about this question but he answered it well 👏👏
[+41] He's such a beacon of light
[+39] This response feels like a clap back to all the people from our parents' generation who would nag at us, calling us gaming addicts, asking what we plan to do about our futures..
[+34] A player with such deep thoughts...!
[+21] He's right (I'm in active duty). Refusing to consider esports a sport is like remaining outdated enough to think that wars are only fought with weapons and have not evolved to be fought online through hacking, etc.
[+21] You can't ignore the billions that the esports market provides
[+12] The word sports itself means competition, not exercise

[+140, -2] I feel like that was a rude question to ask him in the first place
[+54, -5] Times are changing, and like this player said, he's grateful to have been born at a time when esports became popular enough for him to win a gold medal and earn a military exemption off of.
[+36, -1] The fact that esports is being competed on through a world stage like this already means it's a sport, what more is there to debate?
[+23, -1] I don't know what the reporter expected by asking that. What did you want him to say...?
[+3, -0] Kids these days grow up learning how to code. It's different from how we grew up. You just have to go with the changes of time. At the very least, I don't want people leaving ignorant comments like "he's nothing but a loser addict." We should acknowledge that he's a professional under a professional team that goes through rigorous training.
