Google Search Adds Faker Easter Egg Celebrating League of Legends Icon

Google Search has introduced a new Easter egg dedicated to Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok, recognizing the League of Legends legend with a unique search feature. Faker is the first esports player to receive this type of personalized Google Search integration.

Users who search for "Faker" or "Lee Sang-hyeok" will now see the suggestion: "Did you mean: The Unkillable Demon King?" The Easter egg is only available for those specific search terms and does not appear when using "Sang-hyeok Lee" or Faker's former in-game aliases, including "GoJeonPa" and "Hide on bush."

Google has previously released similar search Easter eggs for popular cultural references, such as "Who is Alex Trebek,""War in Ba Sing Se" from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and "wubba lubba dub dub" from Rick and Morty. Faker's tribute, however, is the first one created specifically for an esports personality.

The nickname "The Unkillable Demon King" originated during the 2013 League of Legends World Championship. It was coined by Yu "Cool" Jiajun, the mid laner of Oh My God, after his team defeated SK Telecom T1 in the group stage. Later that year, Faker claimed his first Worlds title, and the nickname has remained closely associated with him ever since.

Despite the title of "The Unkillable Demon King," Faker also holds the record for the most deaths in LCK history. After more than a decade of professional competition, the legendary mid laner has recorded over 2,000 deaths in South Korea's top League of Legends league.
