An extremely well deserved accolade, and definitely the first person that should be inducted if this continues. I haven't played League in a minute, but I feel like Faker transcends League as one of the biggest/most popular eSports player of all time. Always happy to see his success!
The best League of Legends player bar none. And it's not even close. It's only fair he's the first into any hall of fame. I've quit the game years and years ago, but his victories have been so...

If anyone deserves this it is Faker! I don't follow normal sports and haven't followed league in years, but I think I read that Hall of Fames in other sports are for celebrating an entire career of a player after they have retired. However the definition of retired is so loose in League and enough players have come out of retirement that you would have to probably wait 5-10 years to be sure it was the end of the their career.
However in Magic the Hall of Fame doesn't have this requirement and many players in it are still playing. So overall I think I'm a fan of active players being candidates in League as well.
