Why is Faker taking a break from professional LoL?

Ever since the start of competitive League of Legends, players have always had to put in ungodly hours to become the best among their peers. But even with plenty of rest and physical training, these talented individuals will need a break from time to time, including the greatest of all time, T1’s iconic mid laner Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok.

The team recently announced the 27-year-old veteran would be taking some time away and is being temporarily replaced in the starting lineup.
