Seriously, news outlets are reporting everywhere that Faker couldn't sleep

I know Faker is amazing, but
Pro gamers usually compete in the afternoon or evening,
yet there's a report criticizing him for playing a match at 9 AM.
They even showed footage of Faker nodding off.
Is this really news material?
As someone who wakes up at 5:30 AM to get ready for work, I feel a sense of dissonance.
Yawning and closing his eyes, a "meditation routine"... Faker eventually took a quick nap. SBS News: The League of Legends representative team led by Faker (Lee Sang-hyeok) easily advanced to the semifinals after winning three consecutive qualifying matches. For players accustomed to evening matches, an early morning match was another battle against drowsiness, but they dominated the game with overwhelming skill.
