Recently, Faker was complained about again, because he bluntly said in the interview that reading is more important than games, so he was complained that his love of reading is just a human design, because Xiao Lu Bu said that his books have fallen a thick layer of dust.
At that time, when Faker was faced with the question of "which is more important, reading 100 books or playing 1000 hours of games" in the interview, he chose to read books without hesitation, he said: 1000 hours is too much, and you can learn a lot of knowledge by reading 100 books, so it is better to read 100 books.
Netizens complained that he was too pretending, and this reaction not only reflected the solidification of the "stereotype" of professional players from the outside world, but also reflected Faker's unique way of thinking as a top player.
He gives higher priority to reading, perhaps because books provide a broader perspective and the ability to think deeply, and these qualities are precisely the hidden help in the game career and life planning, and the field of esports requires not only action and reaction, but also calmness, decision-making and mental quality, and reading can provide long-term support in these aspects.
However, Faker, who has been known for his self-discipline and rationality for many years, is more like a reminder that esports players should not be limited to the game itself, but should focus on the improvement of their overall ability.
From this perspective, Faker's answer is not "pretending", but a deep understanding of growth and long-term value. That's one of the reasons why he's become a legend, is there anything you have to say about that?
