The last sentence of the first paragraph:

Faker is widely regarded as the greatest League of Legends player in history and has drawn comparison analogizing him to basketball player Michael Jordan for his esports success.

The bolded part should be deleted. It has no source and is basically fluff - IMO it cheapens the article by proposing such a generic comparison. Earora4498 (talk) 07:46, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Per WP:LEADCITE, information in an article's lead doesn't need to be cited as long as it's cited elsewhere in the article, which this claim is (to two sources) in the 'Five more international titles' portion of the Professional career section.
