The title riffs on David Foster Wallace's essay "Roger Federer as Religious Experience." [The listing](https://lanparty.metalabel.com/lan-party-summer-school?variantId=4&ref=killscreen.com) describes a talk about Faker as celebrity, god and unkillable demon king, with stops at co-streaming, esports fandom, scandals and prediction markets. [Amisola's announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DfiwN8XFEOB/?ref=killscreen.com) adds China, Korea and the West, aging, retconned lore, and "Faker, but mostly the beauty of the screen."

The talk is Session 3 of LAN Party's Summer School series, moved to Nov. 13 from an earlier date. It is a longer version of talks Amisola has given at WordHack and TIAT. Notes and references live on [the project page](https://everythingi.love/performance/faker/index.html?ref=killscreen.com).
