Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, who is concentrating on resting due to an injury, told fans his current situation through a live broadcast.
Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok (T1), who is concentrating on resting for the time being due to an injury, reassured the fans with a pleasant joke.
Lee Sang-hyeok missed the match against DRX in the first round of the regular league of the ‘2023 LoL Champions Korea (LCK)’ summer season held at Roll Park in Jongno, Seoul on the 5th. Without Lee Sang-hyeok, T1 lost to DRX 0-2.
Lee Sang-hyeok confessed that he had been suffering from wrist and arm pain for a long time after the match against Nongshim Red Force. As a result of a detailed examination, the specialist diagnosed that he needed to rest, and after discussion with the team, it was decided to start taking a break starting from the DRX match. The specific timing is undecided, but Lee Sang-hyeok plans to focus on recovery with the goal of returning to the regular league.
Lee Sang-hyeok, who did not show up at the stadium, made a surprise appearance on the live broadcast of T1 general manager Chung Hoi-yoon for fans at 11:00 pm on the same day. He said, “It’s nice to see you on a communication show after a long time. I came to tell you in case the fans would be worried.” After saying hello, he explained step by step the point at which the pain occurred and the background of the decision to take a break.
Lee Sang-hyeok said, “After the game, I had numbness in my wrist and little finger and symptoms of abnormalities. He had no pain but no improvement so decided to rest. In the end, he took a break because there was a concern that the pain would get worse when he played without a break.”
Still, he said, “After about three days, it’s not to the extent that it’s uncomfortable in everyday life. He is not in bad health now. Don’t worry. If you rest, you will be fine,” he reassured the fans.
Lee Sang-hyeok said there were no abnormal findings on the MRI, but it was difficult to clearly determine the cause of the symptoms. However, he explained that he seems to have a problem such as a nerve being pressed due to a particular posture being a problem. Lee Sang-hyeok is currently receiving rehabilitation treatment and physical therapy at the same time.
As the fans continued to worry, Lee Sang-hyeok said, “There is a good point in not using the right hand. He is now able to brush his teeth freely with his left hand. He even joked, “I tried eating with my left hand, but it wasn’t easy.”
Finally, he said, “I lost the game today, but there will be things to be gained. I think it’s a good time to learn. I hope you stay healthy,” and left.
Meanwhile, Lee Sang-hyeok will proceed with his personal broadcasting schedule and fan meeting as scheduled. General manager Jeong said, “Sang-hyeok is a player who values the promise and time with fans. He decided to recommend a break, etc., but he accepted the will to be with his fans,” he explained.
