And to think there were nobodies even arguing against him getting into the HOL until he retired because his career might dip after 2023 championships only for him to win another the year after just to shut people up. Lmao
To call Faker the GOAT is actually an understatement. If you took all his accomplishments and divided them in half, he would still be comfortably first place in almost every metric. He is one of those rare cases where amongst the community there is no debate on who the GOAT is. It's unanimous. That's basically unheard of in any competitive environment. The dude is an absolute monster.
Oh believe me, people still find points to debate against his legacy. Especially new fans who started watching league recently, I've seen people put Chovy over Faker which is fcking funny.
@@idiosyncrasy7703With that 2024 performance Chovy isn't anywhere near Faker's peak. 2017 Faker carried that SKT team to a Worlds Finals when they weren't even supposed to be there. Chovy can't even carry 2024 Gen.G to a Worlds Finals with Kiin who is the 3rd best active top laner right now. 💀
@@fhsd1998 Blud literally had Kiin and Canyon for his topside, and they were brought to 5 games by Flyquest. I don't like calling him Choker because he is a good player as well, but if GenG in 2024 worlds isn't a choke performance, idk what is.
Think of it like this, mechanically he was untouchable until like 2016, and now even though mechanically some players might beat him, as an all round player? Faker's strength is not just his mechanics, it his pure mental resilience and huge fucking balls. He is willing to make the plays necessary to turn games, and he has the mental fortitude to stay focused even in his lowest times.
40:00 - The storyline here is crazy. In 2017 when Fakers downfall began, the infamous kill that took him out in the final was Ruler ulting Faker. In 2022 when Faker won Worlds this play was him ulting Ruler.
and his official title "the jungle himself" gain by the fact he changed the way jgl was played back then. he is also the best teamfight jungler of all time
The Zeus, Oner, Faker, Gumayusi, Keria Roster played from 2022 to 2024 a total of 457 official matches together. That is the most amount of games a roster with the same 5 players has ever played together. The second closest is the G2 roster who played 202 games together. 457 official matches in 3 years together
although zeus is gone now, faker, oner, gumayusi, and keria have been together since 2021, one year before zeus got added to the main roster, and the four will be playing on the same team for 4 years straight and going
The dude has been playing for so long that you can literally see his aging through his many LCK teasers appearance. I would recommend you to check it out because the production is mad cinema
22:30 they weren't 'THAT' shit. He had a dip in results no doubt but to contextualise it, every year that they qualified for Worlds he at least made it to the semi finals. Many top League pros barely make it to a handful of semi finals.
Next videos should be The Numbers, The Plays, and The Words. It will go over all his accomplishments and iconic plays and lines that he says throughout his career. Then we can watch like opening ceremony performances or memorable moments that tell the different story of worlds every year
T1 did play almost 180 official matches in 2024. they don't play 4 matches a month, usualy it's 8 series a month in a regular season which could be 16-24 matches.
33:50 he's kinda right, they arent pro matches, but theyre constantly scrimming and playing against the top players in the korean server in the normal ranked queue.
2023 Team JDG was on the golden road. 1st place in their local league LPL Spring. Winner of the Mid-Season Invitational international tournament. 1st place in LPL Summer. Winning worlds would have been, 'The Golden Road,' winning every major tournament and event for the year, something never done before. But people forget, "All roads lead to Faker." Even during his slump, T1 and Faker have NEVER lost a best-of-5 to an LPL (China) team at Worlds. 2023 was T1 vs 3 LPL teams. The scripts write themselves really. 2024 was T1 vs BLG (an LPL team) in the finals. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
people also forget that faker and t1 almost achieved the golden road two years in a row in 2015-2016, losing msi 2015 and lck summer 2016 while winning the other 6 out of 8 finals in the 2-year timespan.
If you wanna see more Faker Aura moments you should check out the JDG Vs T1 2023 Teaser. JDG (A Chinese team) are on the Golden road, meaning they won the LPL (LoL Pro League in China) Spring split, They won the MSI (Mid-Season Invitationals) they won the LPL Summer split and were the favorites to win Worlds. If they won worlds they would have been the first team ever to win Every tournament in a single season. The teaser for this match has so much Aura, the writers cooked for it.
Faker's "ZOFGK" team I believe has the most amount of games played together out of any roster in the history of LoL, I believe it's in the mid 400s of official games played together.
This is the first video of yours I've watched; and I loved the content bro! You were really entertaining to watch, and I love seeing reactions of people new to the scene! Only one thing that made me feel a bit uneasy; was at around 20 mins where you were talking about the commenter who didn't like you laughing at Faker banging his head against the wall.. I agree that the person worded it poorly; or approached their response to you poorly. He was definitely wrong there; and I'm glad you mentioned not laughing at Faker showing emotion! For some context though, that moment for Faker honestly was an absolutely gut-wrenching moment if you knew the story of everything that happened around it, and of Faker's full history. Like, I was about to cry myself. I didn't see this video of you laughing at Faker then, but if you did.. I'm just saying it was a truly sensitive time that many fans of Faker and T1 feel awful about so some people will likely react strongly to that. People were really worried about his mental health since typically he never shows much emotion around games, besides that one time after the 2017 finals.
11:16 - He dodges the enemies ultimate ability (the green beam) which would've killed him. And then proceeds to hit a combo of knock up -> basic attack -> stun -> his own ultimate ability. Ultimate abilities are typically a 1-2 minute cooldown, so yes they do a lot of damage.
Faker's previous teams would have been able to sub him out and still perform well. Iirc before he was good at Azir they would sub him out for a player who could play azir when they needed the pick. The thing with ZOFGK is they're all extremely good and unique players, but they need faker in their mid lane to guide them and give them the confidence boost that comes with having the best mid laner ever in history on your team to do what they usually do, and Poby couldn't give them that.
No one has probably tried recommending it, but if you still want more league reaction videos I think the best and most entertaining videos to watch are all the Stick Figure Spotlight Animation videos.
Just referring to more recent times, as in the 2023/2024 season, Faker actually went out for 1 month due to a wrist injury, they started losing everything, he came back and they started winning again, so in terms of pure ingame ''carry'', no his mechanics etc these days arent that much above others anymore, but the aura (as you said in the video) and the way he is and acts as an older brother to his teammates now and is able to give them confidence really carries a lot too. He just won his 5th world championship, and just to give you a little insight, he won his first world title at 17 years old, he just won his 5th at 28 years old, as a reference: His entire team right now is at maximum 22 years old, so the crazy thing is he is 6 years older and is still performing at THAT level. He is insane.
Initial baron buff at 20 mins is: 12 attack damage and 22 ability power up to 48 attack damage and 80 ability power after 40 mins. minions get a movement speed buff and cannot be slowed under 500 movement speed. Additionally, non-super minions take 75% reduced damage from AoE and DoT. Siege minion a.k.a Cannon minion with the baron buff will stay out of range of tower (as long as the tower stays in the range of sight of the minion) while still being able to hit them You should check out the video for heavy is the crown if you haven't already
35:00 Yes they did play hundred of games per season, since they qualified for everything they play more matches than most. To be precise in 2023: LCK spring-56 games, MSI-17 games, LCK Summer-64 games, Worlds 15 games = around 150 games per year. Not to mention that is only official Riot league and tournament. If you count non Riot from times to times you can see Kespa Cup, Red Bull league of their own, (or if IEM championship coming back), its gonna be very close to 200 games per year. T1 are famously having the most dense schedule in the whole scene, between events and events, not just playing tournament/in the league but showmatches, charity events, fan meeting, shooting comercial, brand deal etc... they barely have any time off the whole year
If you think about it though, they scrim almost everyday, probably countless hours too for practice constantly. Wolf did state that even when they were on vacation, Faker would stay behind to just continue playing
Regarding how many games they play, since that was a discussion: Here are "possible" numbers for 2025. LCK CUP min: 84 games - max: 130 games LCK Season (Spring + Summer) min: 360 games - max: 550 games + Worlds Tournament in the End. Keep in mind that Games isn't matches. If they play a Best of 5 Match it can go up to 5 Games. So if they have 50 Matches and all 50 go to 5 Games in total that's alone 250 Games. With every game taking ~25-35mins. (Most likely even more all things considered) So yeah, that shiv guy is wrong.
The 2022 final was one of the most distressing things I have seen. Seeing little Keria in that emotional state was terrible, I cried my eyes out just out of simple empathy, it doesn't matter that they told him that they had played well, that it was just bad luck, which I mean... the games are like that, but sometimes it's a lot of helplessness for young or new players to overcome.
League of Legend makes teaser before the semi-Finale and Finale game, you should watch a few, pretty sure you would like them. for example, this year it was THE BELIEVER AND THE GOD | GEN vs T1 | Worlds 2024 and MAKE THEM BELIEVE | T1 vs BLG: The Grand Finals | Worlds 2024. You Could start from 2022, so you can see the stories build up.
If you didn't notice Ruler was the very person who broke their win streak and he said first "I saw the angle and I took it" and after many years the very same guy, it's Faker's turn to say that line and it just juxtaposes the position. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i play League but I started with COD and CSGO and I've never played or watched a single game of DOTA 2 but I promise you OG Against the Odds by Redbull might be the best documentary I've ever seen let alone esports. also the Dota 2 True Sight videos are some of the best esports content ever
Please react to character voicelines and character theme songs they're so good There's two big buffs in end game, baron to buff minions and yourself to push and elder dragon for a damage boost and execute
34:18 uhmm no. Their record without Faker was 1-7 i think. It WAS bad. And also to give you an idea how many matches they play in a year. In LCK, there are 2 splits or seasons in a year, summer and winter. Each split has a double round robin of 18 matches (hence T1 record of 18-0) and then the playoffs/elimination matches. Between summer and winter there's MSI and after the splits, there's Worlds. Depending on your team's performance you can play a minimum of 36 pro matches a year. (Btw there was also an Esport World Cup for LOL where T1 won, which might become a permanent addition to pro matches, then there's other promotional matches, Red bull, etc)
I seen comments jokingly say the best player ever is SKT T1 Faker the second best is T1 Faker. Might be a joke yeah but still got some truth behind it.
IDK who that s_hiv guy is but he is so wrong lmao. 176 Total Games were played by T1 on stage, counting their scrims and practice games it would easily be double that number. So yeah, they did play hundred of games in a season.
Glazing faker?? Doesn't matter if it glaze or hate he is still the goat even beyond, like he can get hate by the world and he still the humble goat 😂😂 you can say it's glazing but is it wrong?
after this video was made, faker won a 5th worlds championship and a second finals mvp
like a month ago 😂😂 the GOAT
And to think there were nobodies even arguing against him getting into the HOL until he retired because his career might dip after 2023 championships only for him to win another the year after just to shut people up. Lmao
im in uni right now but bro, I will be 30 in a decade and somehow that mf will still be winning his 9th trophy or some shit 💀
It’s true, I was there for it.

15:00 another nickname Bengi had at the time was 'the right hand of God' because every time you tried to do something to Faker he would be there
Holy sh-
and his official title "the jungle himself" gain by the fact he changed the way jgl was played back then. he is also the best teamfight jungler of all time
He was also called "Faker's Shadow" because he's one of the very few players who can predict Faker's moves and can keep up with his playing style.
@@ロロノアゾロ-h4m bengi was a very underrated monster. maybe the best jungler we ever had in this game
The Zeus, Oner, Faker, Gumayusi, Keria Roster played from 2022 to 2024 a total of 457 official matches together. That is the most amount of games a roster with the same 5 players has ever played together. The second closest is the G2 roster who played 202 games together. 457 official matches in 3 years together

The dude has been playing for so long that you can literally see his aging through his many LCK teasers appearance. I would recommend you to check it out because the production is mad cinema
that time when he is gone for 31 days they played 8 best of 3 and their record was 1 win 7 defeat and they mostly got 2-0 every matches
"The 30th Worlds Trophy is for my grandson" - Faker probably.
22:30 they weren't 'THAT' shit. He had a dip in results no doubt but to contextualise it, every year that they qualified for Worlds he at least made it to the semi finals. Many top League pros barely make it to a handful of semi finals.
Before that, most pros don't make worlds. Most. That's just the nature of a competitive sport.
Next videos should be The Numbers, The Plays, and The Words. It will go over all his accomplishments and iconic plays and lines that he says throughout his career. Then we can watch like opening ceremony performances or memorable moments that tell the different story of worlds every year
You should watch the worlds opening ceremonies throughout the years they're pretty good !
yes... the content must. flow.
I mean he watched them just not the live version tho
THIS UP UP UP
T1 did play almost 180 official matches in 2024. they don't play 4 matches a month, usualy it's 8 series a month in a regular season which could be 16-24 matches.
33:50 he's kinda right, they arent pro matches, but theyre constantly scrimming and playing against the top players in the korean server in the normal ranked queue.
The numbers video of the statistics of faker wins is good start .
he already uploaded that reaction before this one.
2023 Team JDG was on the golden road.
1st place in their local league LPL Spring.
Winner of the Mid-Season Invitational international tournament.
1st place in LPL Summer.
Winning worlds would have been, 'The Golden Road,' winning every major tournament and event for the year, something never done before.

13:06 Faker: So I heard you wanna play league...
The greatest undedog run DRX 2022
Vs T1
Deft vs faker and keria
His former highschool school mate and his former bestfriend/support
tis guy is not simply a legend anymore. His a GOD to all esports community
You should definitely watch the Teaser of T1 vs JDG for the 2023 Semifinals
Its the game where he went "i saw the angle" right back at Ruler

11:25 he did like 5 moves in almost a second time frame

you should watch the world finals from this year! great 5 games!!
God games 4 and 5 faker was insane
nxt t1 rose together their worlds2023 documentary
my favorite line for faker is "all roads led to me".

Yay I've been waiting for you to watch this!!! With the Goat!! Faker! 🔥 Makes me cry everytime I watch it. Lol

There are some banger teasers
T1 vs JDG Worlds 2023 Semi Finals teaser and T1 vs GenG Worlds 2024 Semi Finals teaser. Just yes. Those, react to those.

Even before SKT/T1 were into League, SKT were also the face of OG starcraft and SC2 as well, they were always the top in S. Korea.
You should watch the worlds teasers, they are so good its crazy. T1 vs GenG 2024 worlds and same with T1 vs BLG 2024 worlds aswell.
Bros chat is crazyy
MY GOAT 🐐 🙌❤❤
u gotta look at fakers numbers video
Years where Faker won Worlds: 2013, 2015, 2016, 2023, 2024
PLEASE watch the live performances
18 bo3 x3 without play off (winter spring summer) msi and world that not far from where there bo3 and bo5 so yeah theyre not far from 100 game a year
When t1 didn't qualify worlds championship China winning worlds championship 2019 to 2019 lpl teams can't beat t1 and faker since 2013
i play League but I started with COD and CSGO and I've never played or watched a single game of DOTA 2 but I promise you OG Against the Odds by Redbull might be the best documentary I've ever seen let alone esports. also the Dota 2 True Sight videos are some of the best esports content ever
I wish you saw the teaser for the hall of legend's:the plays, the Numbers both first before this,😊
Honestly the T1 Defied all Odds Documentary is better than this one.
You should watch all Tales of Runettera videos next
Por que as legendas estão desativadas?
Please react to character voicelines and character theme songs they're so good
There's two big buffs in end game, baron to buff minions and yourself to push and elder dragon for a damage boost and execute
34:18 uhmm no. Their record without Faker was 1-7 i think. It WAS bad.
And also to give you an idea how many matches they play in a year. In LCK, there are 2 splits or seasons in a year, summer and winter. Each split has a double round robin of 18 matches (hence T1 record of 18-0) and then the playoffs/elimination matches. Between summer and winter there's MSI and after the splits, there's Worlds. Depending on your team's performance you can play a minimum of 36 pro matches a year. (Btw there was also an Esport World Cup for LOL where T1 won, which might become a permanent addition to pro matches, then there's other promotional matches, Red bull, etc)
You should watch the world teasers and trailers too.
I like the reaction👍
Faker numbers next, please 🙏
I seen comments jokingly say the best player ever is SKT T1 Faker the second best is T1 Faker. Might be a joke yeah but still got some truth behind it.
IDK who that s_hiv guy is but he is so wrong lmao. 176 Total Games were played by T1 on stage, counting their scrims and practice games it would easily be double that number. So yeah, they did play hundred of games in a season.
glazed him all over 😅
He is as good as me. Trully a GOAT.
You should watch 2024 finals games
watch THE BELIEVER AND THE GOD | GEN vs T1 | Worlds 2024 it was as epic as this
Pls watch bridging the rift
Arcane behind the scene
I don't think there is any goat in any sports where the top two is different versions of the same person other than Faker
Glazing faker?? Doesn't matter if it glaze or hate he is still the goat even beyond, like he can get hate by the world and he still the humble goat 😂😂 you can say it's glazing but is it wrong?
Man that chat seems kinda dumb. All that glazing talk like they should instead be insulting him for being the first inductee into their hall of fame.
2000 subs play league 🗣
ref
you can take the journey but PLSSS DO NOT play the game XD
