Sometimes the worlds of esports and traditional sports collide. And with Tottenham Hotspur visiting South Korea for the football club’s pre-season summer tour, it was bound to happen again.
One of Tottenham’s biggest stars, Son Heung-min, met with T1 League of Legends team for a photo opportunity This day. The 30-year-old, who scored 23 goals in the English Premier League in the 2021/2022 season to win the Golden Boot alongside Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, swapped jerseys with the LCK side.
Zeus, Oner, Faker, Keria and Gumayusi are pictured holding signed Tottenham jerseys with the football player’s number seven underneath. While Son can be seen wearing a T1 jersey signed by the team.
This is not the first time Faker has met Son. In 2020, the two reunited to collaborate on a series of commercials promoting the xbox Game Pass in South Korea. They are also associated with PUBG last year.
Son is currently preparing for the upcoming Premier League season. Over the course of the next few days, Tottenham will compete in Seoul and Suwon. According to the club’s matches, tomorrow they will face the K-League XI. T1, on the other hand, will continue their LCK Summer Split 2022 campaign with matches against Hanwha Life and DRX later this week.
