"is he really that good" in football, there's messi vs ronaldo. in basketball, there's mj vs lbj. in valorant, there's tenz vs aspas vs derke vs chronicle and many more. in league, there's only faker. players of recent years have come close to his mechanical skill, mainly chovy and showmaker. however, no one has the same amount of success, domestic and international as he has. no one has the same consistency and longevity as he has. no one has the same amount of impact he had on the game. simply put, he is the goat of lol and there is no argument that would dispute that
i think what the "5-6 years ahead" really touches on is his early dominance, nowadays u have people that can win lane vs faker almost reliably. in 2013 no other midlaner could even hold midlane, they started bleeding minute1. this got less over time
@@cesarrocco103 well, winning lane is a hard statement, but i do think chovy and showmaker outperform faker in lane, tho in LCK Spring fakers laning stats were crazy strong. but that wasnt the case in msi or previous years
"Is he that good?" Yes, he is HIM. To say that nobody is comparable to him would be an understatement. The fact that a lot of people who don't play league or follow the pro scene knows Faker is already a testament to his credibility as the GOAT of LoL.
Everyone is giving shit examples. This is all you need to know about Faker: He has a 50% WORLDS WINRATE, arguably the highest-stakes major esports competition in the world (single elim btw). As in, he attended Worlds 8 times and won 4 of them, losing 2 Semis, and 2 Finals. NA as a region has only ever reached semis, and EU as a region lost both finals. He has never placed below 3rd-4th EVER. Over 10 years. He has always made it out of groups as 1st seed. Unbelievable stat. In fact, it is pretty much unanimously agreed upon that when it comes to the GOAT conversation, EVERYONE is vying for 2nd place. The gap between Faker and whoever else is the 2nd best is so large that nobody even bothers to challenge it. Additionally, he is the only person to have won Worlds *4* times. The only other active player with the closest amount of Worlds wins is BeryL, with *2*. The only other ex-players with 2+ Worlds trophies were Faker's teammates. They're retired. Faker won his first Worlds as the best midlaner in the world. 10 years later, he won his fourth as the best midlaner in the world.
Also, the fact that Faker was literally a prodigy coming in on the scene. Kkoma, their coach, back then did a qualifier for 100+ members for the team except for Faker, because that's just how good he was already, they had to build a team for HIM. When Caedrel said he could carry his whole team alone and was an anomaly, he wasn't kidding around. The man is a generational talent, and I doubt we'll ever see another Faker in our lifetime.
@@dabearsfan9kinda sucks now that they are sitting in 4th domestically. And with GENG on track for a golden road AND beating T1s spring 2022 undefeated record. Will be interesting to see what will happen
He might have 4X worlds (the most in history) but people don’t realize that when Korea was BY FAR the number 1 region (before China caught up to them) winning LCK in 2013-2017 was harder than winning Worlds. Faker has 10 of them.
It's when China and every other region started buying Korean players from veterans to academy players.. it's still amazing LCK is still relevant and wins most of the time and the times they don't it's LPL with Korean carries.
"is he really that good" Short answer: Yes he is, you have to be incredibly good to have every single league player agreeing that he is the undisputed GOAT of the game. Long answer: Yes he is, at his peak he was truly 5 to 6 years ahead and pretty much revolutionized mid lane. He has a wide champ pool, with incredible mechanics and championship winning shot calling. That together with 10+ years of consistentoy being one of the best mid players makes him a player that's in a different category.
@@pineapplelord2422 By 5-6 years ahead it means his mechanics and macro were just that good that you'd think he had an extra 5 years of practice with the amount of tricks and knowledge he had on his belt. Like back in the day this guy was like a fucking brick wall.
The closest thing valorant had to Faker was Yay, a humble, skilled and experienced player focused only on winning and getting results, sadly yay didnt had a good shot at VCT, imagine Yay winning every single split on VCT NA for 5 years straught, winning masters 2 times in a row and also 4 champions, that is Faker
Faker introduced macro plays along with Dopa. That's why back in the day, people always played faker's replay games and analyze his macro strategies. He is the foundation of today's League of Legends macro. He is League of Legends himself.
That line of "He could carry a game by himself"? SKT VS RNG, Worlds 2017. Practically everybody agree that were it not for that freak monstrous performance by Faker, SKT would not be in the Finals.
@@korallyne2114 not necessarily the whole year but during the worlds run, League's meta is unfavorable for SKT at the time. Skt vs Rng is just a guaranteed lose for SKT for sure and they were not be able to attend that World's Finals if it weren't for Faker's Galio absolutely carry performance.
Greatest Esport player of all time, one of very few Esports/sports where there is no doubt who the goat is. No competettion, just Faker alone at the top, problaly never to be challenged
The thing is korea was the frontrunner for esport back when sc and sc2 was the game followed by LoL. Faker basically leads the revolution because he was the living proof being an esport athlete could be a convincing career if you are given the talent for it and are willing to dedicate time to grind. Thats why koreas infrastructure about esport is very very advanced followed by china at 2nd probably
WE ARE EATING WELL!!!!! MAN IM SO FUCKING HYPED! This MSI was the best MSI in quite a few years now and i feel like this year Worlds may top 2022 Worlds hype... will see!
I feel like this year's going to be a banger year for league eSports. This spring split was fun for lpl and LCK, MSI was a banger, and now for summer lpl will implement a fearless draft and LCK will be fun as always.
@@LunePheli G2 made it fun for LEC.. also TL did better than we all thought.. TL and C9 has a chance to make some more noise this Worlds but we'll see.
Faker is the only reason i ever started watching esports unfortunately after the bounty system was put into league of legends it made the game unfun to play and it hurt the ability for a player like faker to 1v5 and make risky plays now i play valorant and watch valorant esports but faker will always be the goat of league of legends to me
"Is he really that good?" Simply put, whilst people do doubt his current ability, nobody, and i mean nobody, doubts his legacy. Heis by far and away the greatest player in league of legends and it's not even close. You can point to the likes od messi and ronaldo but in terms of his legacy compared to his peers, he is above them. There's not a single player that comes close to being called the goat in the face of faker. Every player is fighting for a distant second in the all time greats and every player just accepts that because they know that nobody will catch faker. Another player could come along and wjn more titles but honestly, faker's legacy is untouchable for at least the next 10 years.
It's not just about his legacy, at his peak the dude could dodge a point blank cassio ult, beat one of the best midlaner in the world with the same champion and single handedly drag corpses to a world title, get benched to Eazyhoon 'cuz he wasn't good enough on Azir to grind so much that he is now one of the best Azir player.
Who's watching this after faker became the 5 time GOAT? Also for your question of was he actually 5 to 6 years ahead of everyone else? Yes. When faker first came out the gates he was undisputely the best. Far ahead of anyone else. No one came close. He revolutionized the game. These days the skill gap between players has lessened so in terms in mechanical and playmaking ability some would say there's an argument. But that's why Faker's the goat. Not only is he the 5 time, but unlike players these days, he was far ahead of everyone else in the game for years. Both of those reasons along with some others is why he is the best.
If you were to have a valorant comparison, you'd have to fuse players to get an equivalent to Faker, he is THAT good. Imagine Forsaken's agent pool, the raw mechanical skill of aspas or prime yay, and the brain of Boaster/FNS/Saadhak, all combined into a single person, and you have the Valorant equivalent of what Faker is.
to think he technically only has 2 bad seasons cuz most of his bare minimum seasons is a high achievement for your average pro player in any game makes him the goat
There is no comparable player in other games to Faker (at least not in any of the games I've followed over the many many years now). Faker's name is so recognizable people who don't even play League know of Faker. You don't get that level of notoriety without having done truly remarkable and damn near impossible achievements to beat.
I don't understand the gameplay of LoL. Is he the most dominant pro in a video game compared to other dominant pros in other video games? Like is he leagues above Zen from Rocket League or Shaiiko from R6 in terms of dominance/performance?
To put it simply think of it like this, imagine the guinness world records but for LoL and in that book from the very first page and to the last, all that records belong to Faker and no one is ever close to it even the 2nd place is nowhere near to where he is. Which is why Faker is the undisputed goat of LoL.
One Shaiiko fan to another, Remember his bank slaughter of G2 first time back after the allegations? That is Faker. When he is on form, the question is not who wins? It's who gets second after T1? Faker is Shaiiko level of K/DA, easily. But he's also just plain masterful as an IGL.
@@rreesp if we talking about real life sport (basketball) he would have the dominance of wilt chamberlain and the accolades of bill Russel and the status of Michael Jordan
There is a decent to really good chance that league dies when this man retires. Or at the very least, the viewership from league as a whole will take a huge nosedive worldwide. This man made riot move immediately to his whim when he complained about soloq. We lucky he is a nice humble guy.
I started watching lol esports in season3 LCK FINALS, and Faker has been a consistent figure even after i quit playing in Season 7. I Still watch MSI and Worlds because of the production and Faker.
I've watched Fakers' entire career. Along the road, he has had rivals, competitors, and even kyptonites. Pawn, a man who seemed to have fakers number but could never perform outside that match up. TheShy, WeiXiao, Smeb, Dandy, Showmaker, players who burned beight but burned low, and fell out of competition very quickly. Uzi, Rookie, Deft, players who stayed consistently elite but due to poor career management and roster choices never gave themselves the opportunity to win like Faker won. Chovy, Knight, 369, Bin, players who are performing at that bonjwa level but have still much to prove in terms of longevity and meta proofing. Faker over his career has been a 10 in every possible stat. Where one player has failed, he has succeeded. Where other sports have players who can be broadly compared holistically, there is no comparison to faker as an entire player. Where one player matches his mechanics, they fail in his clutchness, or versitility, or longevity, or adaptability, or the leadership qualities which are hard to measure but are obvious to see. Faker has never been a 10 in ever stat in 1 point in his career. Early in his career he wasn't a leader. Later he wasn't the most mechanically skilled. He was always able to balance one flaw with a world class strength (usually multiple). So, unlike messi and ronaldo, federer and nadal, MJ and Lebron, Lewis, Senna and Schumacher. There is no angle right now for anyone else to be the GOAT. No valid argument. You can have the thought experiment but it would be insanity, as the conclusion is always the same. Faker is the tallest mountain and the widest river in LoL. His comparisons have eclipsed league of legends. Players like Flash, Infiltration, and S1mple are players who can be compared to Faker properly. Undisputed (or close to) GOATs of other popular games. Rookie came the closet in LoL, but due to poor career management, he went left down a path of despair where fake went right to glory. The only "What if?" In LoL with respect to Faker is Apdo, the dark prodigy who got himself banned before being able to properly start his LCK career. Someone in the future will challenge fakers title if LoL lasts long enough, but for now there really is only 1 Faker. 🤫
@@aintlessthan30shotsjaja57 he has not mentioned retirement at all he wants to play till he can't, his injury he can get surgery but it wont um be a forever fix if he still keeps his form, he will have at least 2-3 years left unless he does decide to retire :D
"Is he really that good?" Lmao all you need to know is that the league fanbase is known as one of, if not the most toxic, brain rotten fanbases known to man, but if you ask any of them who the GOAT is, you will likely only hear one answer.
You know those very basic things that silver players 10 years later find self explanatory? The basis of the game? Yea, Faker invented those. He basically created the meta, the way to play the game, the norm. That's not an exaggeration.

@@aintlessthan30shotsjaja57fyi his not gonna retired
Faker is basically tenz but *1000000000 times better 😂
The GOAT
Hes quite literally Him
no one will ever reach that spot at least not until lol 2 come out
"Is he really that good?" Lmao all you need to know is that the league fanbase is known as one of, if not the most toxic, brain rotten fanbases known to man, but if you ask any of them who the GOAT is, you will likely only hear one answer.
You know those very basic things that silver players 10 years later find self explanatory? The basis of the game?
Yea, Faker invented those.
He basically created the meta, the way to play the game, the norm.
That's not an exaggeration.
"is he really that good"
no, hes better
Will there be another Faker? Fk no.
Faker better than Prime TenZ
You're insulting Faker by comparing them to them
Faker looks down on a CS loser
@@御坂元桓 what TenZ did to Valortant is greater than what Faker did to League
@@silasfaath4656 It's the funniest joke I've ever heard, it's like the whole world is revolving around a CS Loser, and if CS had a Hall of Fame, this dude would be the first to enter the Hall of Fame, because Tenz did more to CS than s1mple Zywoo
@@御坂元桓 Funny
If i rename myself to Faker then there will be another Faker but i dont need to copy him to play like him
is he really that good? lol get 4 titles and be as well known as faker, not just in your own home country and have one game almost entirely dedicated to you
I don't follow LOL. Who or what else is in the Hall Of Fame?
It was on the video in case you missed it, he's the first-ever inductee of the HoL. Riot just started it.
none, he is the first inductee and they are doing a huge even with making skins for him etc, they said they will inducte one person per year
so far only faker this was the first induction
Hahaa u jealous while your game don't have this😂
@@Kaiszer6655 I'm not trying to be rude, but you sound really stupid.
