Faker decided to take up hockey because he had already conquered League of Legends.  With multiple MVPs and Worlds Championships he's the undisputed GOAT.  It's hard to imagine another player ever coming close to topping the career he's had.  With his legacy cemented he started looking for a new challenge.  He tried basketball but is too short to compete on the world stage.  He tried baseball but years of gaming has left his arms weak.  So Faker turned his eyes to hockey a sport that already has a player's number retired league wide.  It has the challenge he's looking for and it has a extremely high skill ceiling.  Faker's reaction time and fine motor control will transfer very well to hockey.  After doing a Anime training arc for 3 weeks his fitness is up to snuff.  So he takes off to North America for his next challenge the SHL.  A Premier hockey league world wide, competing with the NHL for talent.
