Faker named South Korea’s Cyber Gambling Prevention Ambassador by national police

After winning six world championships and getting his own postage stamp, Lee 'Faker' Sang-hyeok's influence has officially extended into law enforcement in a move that isn’t quite as bizarre as it might sound at first. Life? He’s completed it. South Korea's Korean National Police Agency appointed the T1 mid laner as an Honorary Police Officer and Cyber Gambling Prevention Ambassador on Wednesday during a formal ceremony at its headquarters in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. The appointment tasks the six-time world champion with helping curb online gambling among young people nationwide.

Faker will appear in promotional videos and posters as part of the role, where he’ll support the National Police Agency's voluntary self-reporting program for youth cyber gambling, while raising awareness about its dangers.
