And even back in 2015 when they won worlds, he went out and told fans "Hey guys! I have so much to tell you, but my English is no good." Which means it's actually *damn* good. So ten years later, he's not *fluent* but he's still way better than Impact and probably comparable to CoreJJ.
He definitely improved his speaking skills. But I think his understanding is his main power, because of all interviews there he understands questions really good
@-_--_-2335 probably cause they dont really use english,i understand and write and even talk english but where i live almost never use it,lucky to have friend onlinr i talk to which improved mine
for people who might not know the context with the "are you serious?" reply. Riven was one of his signature picks during early league which is why he said are you serious when he was asked if his riven is still good.
I’ll never forget that he was the player to really popularize auto attack canceling. Many people did it at the time but faker used it to peak efficiency and it showed with riven, especially with how league was back then.
It’s kinda funny that Faker is technically picking one of his favorite champ for Agurin, he was a yi enjoyer and he purposely chose master yi on pro play a long time ago
The "DONGU" was so cute because NNO wanted to do "DOFGU" (Doran-Oner-Faker-Guma-Untara) but Faker switched his F to N for Noway 😄 Because that guys english is really good AND his name is spelled with an F, so I'm pretty sure that he won't confuse N and F (as some people suggested). Also the korean language uses a P for an F so he would have choosen that instead. Really cute interaction there.
@@herobrinekennedy9474 I agree. Rift Rivals (though some try hard) and All Star are fun events we had before. I am glad Red Bull is sponsoring this kind of events now.
Old All-Star Event in like 2015-2017 was insanely fun imo. Sad they changed the format at one point and then got rid off it because they made it less fun
Always thought if I met him we wouldn't have a real conversation or something, this blew me away how well he speaks, so many times I didn't think it was him speaking
I can understand why some people feel kinda weird in the comments about this idea that Faker's english is good ,especially since in EU his would be considered barely passable as a kid ,but I cant ignore the fact that ,he is a HS dropout (so education potential is theoretically low ,he is really smart tho ) and considering that he probably never actually studied it ,since he plays league 14 hours a day since he was 16 . And as a side note ,i know that asians have a really hard time learning any language that isnt phonetic (which is obvious why ) is the same for us if we tried to learn Korean .
Bro that last part is super wrong 😅 people in China relatively learn English faster as their grammar structure is similar to English. (not including hs dropouts and stuff) Indonesia,Malaysian,Singaporean people are also good as they use the alphabet for their language, sometimes also using English as a general language Actually the term 'Asia' is too broad, so most countries dont have much in common at all - Afghanistan, Korea, India, Malaysia,Iran... its kinda like assuming Greek, Canadian, Russian culture have a lot in common
ain't no way you said education potential is low for this guy. He's Faker bro lmao 99% of the population on earth can't even do a speech, and this guy does it daily and he never messes up.
also funny how you also mentioned him playing league 14 hours a day. That's so f wrong, and he studies and reads just like anyone. Wtf are you even on about lol. He obviously doesn't speak english very often, so it's natural that it may not sound very polished. Imagine giving him 1 month to work with this team and get used to speaking in his secondary language.
@@yura-neko-z9q what I meant to say was ,considering he dropped out of HS ,on average your potential to learn is lower on average because usually when people are not in school ,their general education gets worse ,that why I added that he îs really smart ,even with all those setbacks.
Now now hear me out Caedrel, 2026 Defending World Champion Los Ratones acquiring new Head Coach : Lee "Faker" Sang-Hyeok, would be an awesome news headline no ?
True and he mentioned it before. He understands and can speak in English but chose to speak in his native language so people won't misquote or misunderstand him.
Faker practice English since years, way before Rekkles. He plays a lot of solo games between league games in stream, he always put in english if he can and spend time on web translater if he doesn’t understand a word.
He actually try to hide it and pretend he didn't know . I don't know why but when interviewer force or keep asking him to say something in English , he can put out some long quote@@pratikroy227
Faker does understand a lot but he can't speak much (he does really basic stuff). He doesn't use the language daily so it's understandable. For someone who doesn't learn the language and is a HS dropout I would say it's quite good.
I thought he doesn't understand the question, then he made it look like the answer is obvious because he's the goat 🤣 would be amazing if he answered like "defends on the prize money" 😆
Faker is insane and all but it feels kind of disrespectful to assume he is not able to communicate in english after literally being the GOAT in a western based game for 10 + years. No??
I know, I'm not supposed to undermine the goat, why is this such a big deal he knows english. He has 12-13 years of experience in league, 9 of those he made it in global event, and that's just worlds stuff. What do i miss here? Im new to lol eSports
What you miss is that first you need to see the development of faker, while in 2015 he could barely say „thank you“. And now he could speak kind of fluently for lck and lpl especially thats pretty good because they dont have imports like LEC or LCS but mostly swap players in between each other so maybe koreans pratice chinese and vise versa. So the only time those player have an impact with english is at worlds. So he had to learn there or by himself which is hard especially for korean ppl. And i dont think faker is a person with a lot of free time😅
I don't know if english is your native language but if it is not and you are from Europe, it is hard for us to understand east asian countries when it comes to english. We are much more exposed to English than them by a significant amount. Like even if you don't do anything to learn english, you would still learn a few things here but in Korea, especially if you are a dropout you have to actively try to learn it which is impressive. He probably understand and speaks a little chinese too.
Have you been to any Asian country that's not Singapore Philippines or india? This is incorrect, they might have ok grammar and understanding but most Asian countries have horrible speaking skills
Faker: "wat do yu wont?" Cadrel and comments: "WOOOO HIS ENGLISH IS AMAZING!!!" Wtf is happening?!? This feels like when an american comes to Italy and says "cieaow" and the random granny says "wow you speak italian! Come and heat all the pasta I've made!" 😂 Edit: obviously the granny would say that in Italian or in another Italian language but act as she was perfectly understandable by the guy 😂
@@xKiller70 not to be that guy, cause explaining a joke is sad, but yeah. That's how english people (especially from the US) pronounce it and sound to us. Have you noticed how i wrote "what do you want?".....yeah....same thing.
He is korean listen to other lck players or lpl players speaking english, faker is miles ahead that is why they are praising him supply and demand esque.
League is really lucky to have Faker.
Esport in general too, people acknowledge esport more largely thanks to Faker and s1mple as well. Paved the way for future goats too.
He's even more than what Jordan was for the NBA. This kind of personality goes beyond just being the Golden Goose.
League is lucky but NNO players are fcking more lucky with this moment
A sport is nothing without their star players.
I think League of Legends (e-sport) would have less than half the viewers it has today if Faker didn't exist.
Faker from "I don't speak English" to "Are you serious?" 😂

@@AshendisTV nah bro Impact's english is still better than Faker because he has experience speaking it.
@@rard431 Faker has significantly better enunciation/less accent but Impact definitely has a more extensive vocabulary.

I'm pretty sure he said are you curious
At last, Faker absorbed even his English ability :)
agurin going "you choose i dont care. master yi? ok" is fucking simpworthy HAHAHAHAHAHA

If faker told me to play yuumi mid I'd lock it in. Could be op Korean strat for sure 👍
Its not about simping, its about showing respect to the best LoL player ever. This is a showmatch, its about having fun.
i'll play whatever the heck the GOAT says
guys the whole point of the match was that faker picks who they play.
That little smirk from Faker when he said Master Yi, he knows Untara Teemo will lowkey counter xdd
