BTW Faker and T1 just won the new international tournament today (called Esports World Cup). Yes, a new tournament came out and Faker already won it, so one more title and $400.000 to account! The GOAT.
Don't forget he also got MVP of the tournament so that goes up another one, too hahaha The Goat but we can't forget his Goated kids too :D and the SKT team members that helped him get there :D
Come to think of it, it's not just LPL, as far as I remember, only G2 manange to take down them in worlds semi finals other than those from LCK so he also has 100 % series win rate against LCS and all minor regions
@@eyaangel618 in Bo at worlds, they lost against GenG (samsung) in 2017 Finals, G2 in 2019 Semi, DK in 2021 Semi and DRX in 2022 Finals. In group phase, they lost a Bo1 against OMG (LPL) in 2013, a Bo1 against Flash Wolves (LMS) in 2016, a Bo1 against LHQ (LMS) in 2017, a Bo1 against Fnatic (LEC) in 2019, a Bo1 against EDG (LPL) in 2021, a Bo1 against Fnatic (LEC) in 2022 and a Bo1 against GenG (LCK) in 2023. 40-7 in Bo1 (85% WR) 2-0 in Bo3 (100% WR) 17-4 in Bo5 (81% WR) in the last 11 years at worlds. What a ridiculous team.
These stats really show how good faker really is and how important he is to the game and esports. Faker is the undisputed GOAT and to get every single league player to admit that you have to be something else. Faker is League, Faker is esports and Faker is T1
That last play to azir shuffle varus into the team, WHEN THEY WERE LOSING THE GAME OTHERWISE, was the most clutch thing I've seen at worlds in a series of him already making a bunch of clutch plays to go on and win the whole tournament.
Just to make sure the ult dodge clip. I know you don’t play much league so maybe you aren’t sure how Cassiopeia ult works, but it’s similar to Medusa logic. If you stare at her when she uses it you get stunned. So in that clip faker did a micro look back right as she used it and went back to fight her instantly. Basically not affected by it because he wasn’t “looking”
Faker is basically the longest one-team player in the history of LoL and the most accomplished at that. Once he retires, they really should put his name in the team name to honor him, lol
One thing not mentioned is that in Faker's Placements at worlds are 4x 1st, 2x 2nd and 2x 3rd/4th ( there isn't a game to decide whose 3rd or 4th), The man has never not podiumed at Worlds when he has gone.
"the golden road, we will stop it" Gives me chills every time, that trailer was for the 1st day of worlds, a very big chinese team had won every tournment last year until worlds and they were on their way to achieve a golden road (never achieved bbefore) that consists on winning everything bc they were the favourites... and faker knew, he knew he had never lost to a chinese team (lpl team) before in worlds even tho its such a big and talented region, he was NOT gonna start losing then. He actually predicted that they (T1) would be the ones sending JDG home.. with a 3-1 too-
I'm a big Faker fanboy but I think it's a shame that he doesn't really have all that many 'iconic' 1 vs 1's besides the big Zed vs Zed matchup. Most of his outplays are the big game-changing moments. I do think this video also missed out a lot of his cooler ones, his Galio dodge, lissandra play on baron, flashing over syndra dodging a point-blank q-e, his 1 vs 1 against Jensen.... or just those times where he finds the right target at the right time in a nail-biting game, whether it be with his gragas or akali. Wish they dug a bit deeper because I find a lot of his better moments to be the lesser-known ones.
I was so excited when I saw you upload!! Love your videos! To add to 14:04 that's game 3 between T1 vs JDG in worlds 2023 semis, T1's base was on the verge of being broken into and as per their comms vid, Faker said that he's still looking for an angle and barely 5secs later he immediately called for their jungler Oner (Rell) to follow him and baited Ruler's flash before making that insane Azir shuffle. Their team synergy was so good and their ults layered perfectly on one another. It was a really clutch game decision with high risks, but it ended with them winning game 3 and be at match point! In 20:42, that's from the 2023 Worlds Swiss teaser, JDG were on their way to the Golden Road (having won Spring, MSI, and Summer all in the same year. All they needed was Worlds) and it's a feat that no team has yet accomplished. They were the heavy favorites to win Worlds, but indeed T1 stopped them. I recommend watching T1's 2023 Worlds teasers, they are so spine chilling and provides a little bit of story/history behind! (Worlds 2023 T1 vs LNG- Faker vs Scout; Worlds 2023 T1 vs JDG-Faker vs Ruler; and Worlds 2023 T1 vs WBG). The words at 19:09 is from the Worlds 2023 teaser T1 vs WBG, and by far the one of the most emotional teasers as compared to other worlds teaser.
The lines land flat if you don't know what they are about. :D The "dark" ones are from hype videos before games. For example, in 2023 JDG(Chinese team) was on the track to win a Golden Road. Golden Roas means when in the same year you win all the seasons in your region, MSI, and Words. JDG were hyped up as a heavy favorite and the first team in history to achieve this Golder Road. . Hence in the trailer, they boast they are going to achieve it, then cut to Faker saying "All roads lead to me". And Faker and T1 did indeed win the Words that year and they eliminated JDG themselves. The lines in the trailer are written by writers tho.
And the funny thing is ,Faker could've left the game and live a really good life without needing to work ever since like 2017 or 18 at the very least ,he is literally only playing for glory and nothing else ,he doesnt need to achieve anything anymore .
Nothing can top the story of T1 in Worlds 2023. The journey from start to finish was incredible. The injury, worlds in Korea, Faker out of all mid tier list, T1 vs LPL, Golden road, Do or die roster, 4th seed back to back in finals.
I highly recommend watching SKT vs ROX worlds 2016. One of the best series of all time in LoL eSports. Just be prepared for longer games as the games were more about slow macro than heavy early game leads.
The number thing wise, it would’ve been nice to show that graph comparing the titles of all midlaners, to really see how much better he is than everyone else
I recommend actually watching the teasers themselves from Worlds, LCK and MSI. At least the ones from recent years. Especially Worlds 2023, they are AMAZING.
His longevity is even more apparent when you see these plays and how much the game has changed over time, and he's been dominant this whole time. Also the "fourth trophy is for my teammates" quote goes so hard because his team was in the finals of Worlds 2022 but lost 2-3 despite being the favorites. For the 2023 year there were rumors that the team was going to make changes and all 5 players wouldn't be on the same team anymore. They ended up sticking together, and Faker said the quote at Worlds 2023 before they finally got their win.
Can you pls react to "Our game" video? I think it really represents how we feel as League player, on what other people think of us. Especially coming from a country where playing games are looked down upon
Dude The Words is such a terribly edited video. Having ppl speak in a different language AND NOT TRANSLATING IT is so fucking bad along with the fact it literally ruins it when you do happen to watch the content where he says those words with CONTEXT (like teaser videos). Like they mean absolutely nothing with zero context the very least they could have done is add translations to to ALL of it wth The teaser videos I recommended in my other comment will have many of these quotes WITH CONTEXT and FULLY TRANSLATED I'm just sad you were spoiled by such a terrible video -.-
