Popularity is an important part of what makes a Pro Player...and Faker became bigger than the game itself on some levels.

someone as good as Faker is definitive but a lot of players deserve to be in the hall of legends. Just because Michael Jordan or Lebron James exist, doesn't mean that there aren't any other legends of the game. The same logic applies to LoL and Faker.
for people who don't play LOL and only play valorant, faker is a guy with the talent of aspas who has remained a top 4 team in the world for more than 10 years, most LOL players lose their physical and mental health being in the top 1 in the world for 1 year and then disappear due to the weekly changes in the game and don't even qualify for the tournaments.
nah nah nah Faker clears Aspas in talent. There is no Val equivalent to Faker. If we were to make that comparison Aspas would have carried a team like mibr to grand finals at champs, like Faker did in 2017. Literally 1 man armying a team to the top.
@@imasepan you can't tell because valorant is a game where all proplayers say that the aim of the game is luck, but aspas before becoming a proplayer was considered a hacker, before sacy recruited him to loud he had to prove that he didn't use hack, and after he proved it sacy said he would make him the best player in the world.
@@tutilol7 I know the story of Aspas - but the mechanical level Aspas is at is not comparable to the mechanical level Faker was at. And many pros in Valorant have been considered cheaters in the past. ZmjjKK was called a cheater before making Champs 22, Jamppi was accused of cheating in CS, and famously Leaf was considered a cheater by the BR community (same community that thought Aspas was cheating). Faker was head and shoulders ahead of his peers and had dominant performances on completely off-meta champions. When SSW (or was it SSG) played SKT in the grand finals of Worlds they literally made their midlaner pick Malzahar to only perma-babysit-jail Faker so he couldn't hard carry and take over the game. It would be like Aspas dropping 40s every game playing pre-rework Yoru or release Deadlock as entry. It would be like 2023 FNC wasting a Brim ult/Gekko ult or something just to kill Aspas. That's the level teams and players went to just to shackle Faker at his mechanical prime. Aspas is historically the best duelist in Valorant history - but he still got diffed by Demon1 & something at Champs and he wasn't even close to being statistically LOUD's best player when they won Champs 22 either. pANcada, Sacy, and Less were rated higher than him. Shit, even Cryo, ScreaM, Derke, and of course Yay were rated higher than him on the same role. At Aspas's prime, he was still mortal. At Faker's prime, nobody could touch him.
it would be a closer comparison to say florescent in womens league but even more dominant. Or tenz during first reykjavik but nearly twice as good. Or something in challengers but once again even more dominant
@@imasepan Faker's prime can be summed up with this one hilarious fact. He popularized the old Irelia mid pick, and when the enemy midlaner decided to pick it against him, he pulled out the first Olaf mid and COMPLETELY crushed the enemy midlaner. At Faker's prime, he decides what the META is.
On the top of my head there's only three candidates, one of which is from a game with a relatively small player pool. Arslan Ash from Tekken (Weakest Comparatively), Rich when HoTS was alive (Actually just the GOAT there, yes, same Rich that last played for Dignitas lmao), and CakeAssault with Rivals of Aether. CakeAssault is the only one who actually just wins everything he participates in. Anyone who knows that game can confidently say that the dude is actually just the Faker of that game.
@@2xYuW Nah Arslan Ash is the best player at the end of tekken 7 Knee has 10 times better stats than him He is either first or second in every game since 2005 tekken 5 He was second in tekken 6/ tag 2 to JDCR And on Tekken 7 the title until Arslan came to the scene was between JDCR and Knee JDCR was in character crisis so it was Knee, and arslan came and it was a fight bewteen those two So nope Arslan isn't at all at the same lvl Those can be at his level are Daigo multiple time EVO winer on different franchises 42+ years old Justin wong most EVO won same age Knee most time first or second in every tekken since 2005 and he is 40 years old or Sonic fox which is EVO champion in idk how many games.

Faker, the first winner of the eSports League of Legends World Cup, Faker, the fifth winner of Worlds, MVP Faker, the first to surpass 500 kills, the second winner in a row, Faker
@@xuananhcao8744 Some of those years he didn't even play LPL teams though. I believe they only played LPL teams 4 times from 2013 - 2022 and then did the famous T1 vs LPL run beating 3 in 1 year.
@@vPzWalkerx In terms of series played, 5/8 of his worlds appearances he played against lpl, all time score of loss/win games played against lpl at worlds is 8/37. He has only actually lost two matches, which were BO1s. 2 out of 4 of his world finals wins were against lpl, both were 3-0.
This stats is definitely crazy if you think about it. If LCK vs LPL without T1 the records is 5-7 but if we add the T1 series it become 13-7 see how crazy it was? T1 alone won 8 series VS LPL this stats since 2013 worlds LCK vs LPL 5-7 in worlds T1 vs LPL 8-0 in worlds
The only way, for someone to match Faker's stats in the Hall of Legends, is to be another Faker after he retires. Had to be 5 years ahead of everybody else. Thats the only way to come close to Faker's legacy.
I doubt there'll ever be another player who played for 10+ years and have a winrate of 100% against a whole region at the biggest tournament of that game
I feel bad for other players who will be inducted into the hall of fame after him. What kind of numbers can they put compared to Faker? Their videos will be 30 secs long
I mean for others its definitely difficult but its stil ok, bengi 2 world cup, uzi has made it to the world finals back to back, ruler has all the asians trophies + world + msi, chovy is in the way for golden road, keria has litterally changed the sup meta on his own at the end he will be there, Caps is the undisputed King of Europe with more than 12 lec trophies
"Next guy in the next hall of fame video is f***ed" Omg I never thought about that but it's so true. Next numbers video will be maybe max 30 sec in length. Gotta put long pauses between the numbers...
Honestly tho it’s not even valorant. He made the whole esports scene famous. He is the definition of the person that started it all in gaming. He may not be the first but he’s the person that continued it
@@leosimvuiseng2926 lmao not even close upon checking viewerships of each year League was never dethroned by those 2. The closest was just half of what league had in 2021was cs with 2.7 million whilst league had 4 million
the really odd thing is that the next person to be inducted to the hall of fame for sure deserves it but their resume, no matter how stacked in their own way, will pale in comparison when beside faker's.
Yea in terms of accomplishments, but when we compare stats with the 2nd place guy in their respective sports, Jordan has Lebron, Messi has Ronaldo, and faker has well faker 🤷🏽♂️, like the man said all roads lead to him, And Ive seen the rise and fall of many teams but I was the one still standing at the end
If someone ever asks you who Faker is, the only acceptable answer is "He is what Ayrton Senna is to F1, the best there will ever be in League of Legends history."
in a sense being 2nd isnt even that bad since everyone knew who the number 1 is like theres no debate to that, even before the tease of this hall of legend the debate was already "who comes close to faker" not whos better than faker (its hard to explain but i think you guys already know what i mean)
Is there another player in a team based esport that has this edge over the others? Cs they had astralis but that was a team, the individuals are much more close (s1mple, zywoo etc), rocket league same thing. Idk about dota, rainbow and such toh but this is hella impressive
No there isn’t. The only people that can even be remotely be compared would be single competitor esports like fighting games and StarCraft but even then, no one has dominated so completely for so long in a game that is even CLOSE to as big as League. Flash in StarCraft is realistically the closest individual to Faker.
It's so stupid of them to make this video now, he's literally still playing, the numbers can get even more crazy, certainly he's at the ladder half of his career but the numbers can still get even higher, especially if he wins another world championship, the video showing 4 is just going to look stupid. Props to the goat though.
feels weird faker is the first one to be in there even while he's still an active player. should at least give some retired ppl a chance to get recognized......now everyone that comes after is just gonna get way weaker responses and some might even get blamed for "making the list weak"
The argument is that, who else deserves to be inducted into the hall of fame if not faker. The man is a legend, the face of league. No one deserves to be in the HOF more than faker.
yeah but who else but the face of league itself to be inducted riot def aint waiting for faker to be retired in the next 2-3 yrs to start a hoL and there a still retired players that live up to the hall of fame standards like theres lit uzi xpeke
he has to go there first, otherwise his fans will send funeral flowers to riot headquarters like the way lpl fans did to a team that almost left worlds empty-handed
bro t1 have the worse fanbase on planet earth but faker is the greatest to have ever played the game. a career like his will prob never be replicated like his ever again. he had 4 corpses on his team at times and even got them a worlds trophy. insane player bro. prime 1v9 faker was one of a kind bro.
thats the whole point. faker is league of legends lol he cant retire today and no one will get close to his records. if he wins this year. hes gonna have 3 consecutive worlds twice and winning 2 in a row twice ;D the only match to fakers worlds record will be his head coach kkoma with 5. he won 1 with showmaker once he left faker and then came back after he won worlds again lol

@@imasepan you can't tell because valorant is a game where all proplayers say that the aim of the game is luck, but aspas before becoming a proplayer was considered a hacker, before sacy recruited him to loud he had to prove that he didn't use hack, and after he proved it sacy said he would make him the best player in the world.
@@tutilol7 I know the story of Aspas - but the mechanical level Aspas is at is not comparable to the mechanical level Faker was at. And many pros in Valorant have been considered cheaters in the past. ZmjjKK was called a cheater before making Champs 22, Jamppi was accused of cheating in CS, and famously Leaf was considered a cheater by the BR community (same community that thought Aspas was cheating).
Faker was head and shoulders ahead of his peers and had dominant performances on completely off-meta champions. When SSW (or was it SSG) played SKT in the grand finals of Worlds they literally made their midlaner pick Malzahar to only perma-babysit-jail Faker so he couldn't hard carry and take over the game.
It would be like Aspas dropping 40s every game playing pre-rework Yoru or release Deadlock as entry. It would be like 2023 FNC wasting a Brim ult/Gekko ult or something just to kill Aspas. That's the level teams and players went to just to shackle Faker at his mechanical prime.
Aspas is historically the best duelist in Valorant history - but he still got diffed by Demon1 & something at Champs and he wasn't even close to being statistically LOUD's best player when they won Champs 22 either. pANcada, Sacy, and Less were rated higher than him. Shit, even Cryo, ScreaM, Derke, and of course Yay were rated higher than him on the same role. At Aspas's prime, he was still mortal. At Faker's prime, nobody could touch him.
it would be a closer comparison to say florescent in womens league but even more dominant. Or tenz during first reykjavik but nearly twice as good. Or something in challengers but once again even more dominant
@@imasepan Faker's prime can be summed up with this one hilarious fact. He popularized the old Irelia mid pick, and when the enemy midlaner decided to pick it against him, he pulled out the first Olaf mid and COMPLETELY crushed the enemy midlaner.
At Faker's prime, he decides what the META is.
When people say, “player X is the Faker of X esports”. I’m like, are you sure? Does any other esports player have this kind of stats?
On the top of my head there's only three candidates, one of which is from a game with a relatively small player pool. Arslan Ash from Tekken (Weakest Comparatively), Rich when HoTS was alive (Actually just the GOAT there, yes, same Rich that last played for Dignitas lmao), and CakeAssault with Rivals of Aether.
CakeAssault is the only one who actually just wins everything he participates in. Anyone who knows that game can confidently say that the dude is actually just the Faker of that game.
@@2xYuW Nah Arslan Ash is the best player at the end of tekken 7
Knee has 10 times better stats than him
He is either first or second in every game since 2005 tekken 5
He was second in tekken 6/ tag 2 to JDCR
And on Tekken 7 the title until Arslan came to the scene was between JDCR and Knee
JDCR was in character crisis so it was Knee, and arslan came and it was a fight bewteen those two
So nope Arslan isn't at all at the same lvl
Those can be at his level are Daigo multiple time EVO winer on different franchises 42+ years old
Justin wong most EVO won same age
Knee most time first or second in every tekken since 2005 and he is 40 years old
or Sonic fox which is EVO champion in idk how many games.
now he's back in the finals GOD DAMN GOAT. still padding them stats up
Faker is a real G.O.A.T: Greatest Of All Time, he is fit for those words, about the stats, records, what he achieved were INSANE, I swear no one can do those things like Faker.
2nd player will getting sooo much pressure when they put him in 😂😂
This is why faker is the GOAT of esport. No player in esports gaming that come close to his achievment and stats.
Faker, the first winner of the eSports League of Legends World Cup, Faker, the fifth winner of Worlds, MVP Faker, the first to surpass 500 kills, the second winner in a row, Faker
Hate to admit this but 100% win rate against LPL is insane
Crazy to think is
LCK vs LPL in worlds is 5-7
T1 vs LPL in worlds is 8-0
BLG failed to break that wall
The year LPL won worlds was the year Faker didn't qualify for Worlds lol
the shade thrown at LPL "Series wins against LPL 100%" 🤣
He has never lost a single series vs the LPL in worlds in all the 8 times he attended it, its kinda crazy to think abt actually
@@xuananhcao8744 Some of those years he didn't even play LPL teams though. I believe they only played LPL teams 4 times from 2013 - 2022 and then did the famous T1 vs LPL run beating 3 in 1 year.
@@vPzWalkerx fair enough, still impressive tho
@@vPzWalkerx In terms of series played, 5/8 of his worlds appearances he played against lpl, all time score of loss/win games played against lpl at worlds is 8/37. He has only actually lost two matches, which were BO1s. 2 out of 4 of his world finals wins were against lpl, both were 3-0.
This stats is definitely crazy if you think about it. If LCK vs LPL without T1 the records is 5-7 but if we add the T1 series it become 13-7 see how crazy it was? T1 alone won 8 series VS LPL this stats since 2013 worlds
LCK vs LPL 5-7 in worlds
T1 vs LPL 8-0 in worlds
This is why he is the GOAT, cause those stats are way too insane
Man, seeing my comment at LCK Global and watching this video gives me nostalgia on how T1 won Worlds, T1 Winrate against LPL: 100% GOD DAYUM!
The only human deserving of best Esports player of all time
And now he has 5 worlds title
He’s the first and has the most at basically everything. The undisputed GOAT.
If LoL was on PSN, he'd be the only one with a platinum trophy.
Nice seeing the explanation on your profile
@@JinhoIzanagawa Thank you!
The only way, for someone to match Faker's stats in the Hall of Legends, is to be another Faker after he retires. Had to be 5 years ahead of everybody else. Thats the only way to come close to Faker's legacy.
The bullet proofing blinds them seeing the screen
Last worlds the LCK was all knocked out. T1 single handedly beat every LPL team into submission and won worlds. Faker is the GOAT.
Watch him make that "4x world champion" into 5
he did. In MVP fashion
I doubt there'll ever be another player who played for 10+ years and have a winrate of 100% against a whole region at the biggest tournament of that game
I feel bad for other players who will be inducted into the hall of fame after him. What kind of numbers can they put compared to Faker? Their videos will be 30 secs long
I mean for others its definitely difficult but its stil ok, bengi 2 world cup, uzi has made it to the world finals back to back, ruler has all the asians trophies + world + msi, chovy is in the way for golden road, keria has litterally changed the sup meta on his own at the end he will be there, Caps is the undisputed King of Europe with more than 12 lec trophies
deft has won everything there is to win as well
@@imasepan and i forgot Beryl who also won worlds 2022 and 2020 with Drx and Dk
"Next guy in the next hall of fame video is f***ed"
Omg I never thought about that but it's so true.
Next numbers video will be maybe max 30 sec in length. Gotta put long pauses between the numbers...
update the count it's 5x world champion now
Faker the only reason your playing Val and making tarik a gazzilionair his your grandfather and tarik is your daddy.
Honestly tho it’s not even valorant. He made the whole esports scene famous. He is the definition of the person that started it all in gaming. He may not be the first but he’s the person that continued it
@@stevenchen9852 true when he said "all roads lead to me" he mean all genre of esports and its players.
@@stevenchen9852 nah dota and cs is the one make esports famous especially dota
@@leosimvuiseng2926 search up most watched esport 🤡
@@leosimvuiseng2926 lmao not even close upon checking viewerships of each year League was never dethroned by those 2. The closest was just half of what league had in 2021was cs with 2.7 million whilst league had 4 million
tbh, these stats. Like i dont understand league but i think we can call him the most succesful gamer OAT.
The only thing comparable to this guy in all sports that I can think of is Wayne Gretzky
the really odd thing is that the next person to be inducted to the hall of fame for sure deserves it but their resume, no matter how stacked in their own way, will pale in comparison when beside faker's.
Had to call it the “Hall of Legends” cause if they had just gone with “Hall of Fame” if you shorten it to HoF it really is just “Hall of Faker”
It also just fits better with League since Legends is in the name already
thats why he is the first to be in the hall of fame
If chovy wants to be number 2.
He needs to win everything for the next 4 years.
Faker= Messi= Jordan
Yea in terms of accomplishments, but when we compare stats with the 2nd place guy in their respective sports, Jordan has Lebron, Messi has Ronaldo, and faker has well faker 🤷🏽♂️, like the man said all roads lead to him,
And
Ive seen the rise and fall of many teams but I was the one still standing at the end
@@urdad2672 nah messi clears ronaldo now it not even close, but i get the point
2024 Worlds, Faker won his 5th title, 100 wins, 500 kills, another back to back champion. 3 finals in a row with the same roster.
Whats the outro song?
If someone ever asks you who Faker is, the only acceptable answer is "He is what Ayrton Senna is to F1, the best there will ever be in League of Legends history."
Faker is by far the most impressive gamer in all of gaming considering league is the hardest game to master
He isn’t a hall of famer. He is the goat
Wish they added thr never missed semis part
faker being in the first in the hall of legends while still playing is just crazy.. they just set the bar way too high
Bengi NEXT 4 sure
in a sense being 2nd isnt even that bad since everyone knew who the number 1 is like theres no debate to that, even before the tease of this hall of legend the debate was already "who comes close to faker" not whos better than faker (its hard to explain but i think you guys already know what i mean)
He just added to this with being oldest champ too right? Snd 5x worlds, consecutive world wins
Is there another player in a team based esport that has this edge over the others? Cs they had astralis but that was a team, the individuals are much more close (s1mple, zywoo etc), rocket league same thing. Idk about dota, rainbow and such toh but this is hella impressive
No there isn’t. The only people that can even be remotely be compared would be single competitor esports like fighting games and StarCraft but even then, no one has dominated so completely for so long in a game that is even CLOSE to as big as League. Flash in StarCraft is realistically the closest individual to Faker.
his skin broke records as well being by far the most scummiest cashgrab scheme that riot cooked so far
Mf shit on a WHOLE REGION without even losing in worlds 😂
The next player that's gonna be inducted is probably gonna be one of his old teammates
Before there were legends. There was Faker.
And he only ever had one worthy opponent, dopa.
Playing the game u like at the highest level is every gamers dream then here's faker..like bro set the standards so high..
It's so stupid of them to make this video now, he's literally still playing, the numbers can get even more crazy, certainly he's at the ladder half of his career but the numbers can still get even higher, especially if he wins another world championship, the video showing 4 is just going to look stupid. Props to the goat though.
This is SUCH a funny comment in hindsight
@@SahiPie 😂😂😂
Anyone know the outro song?
legends never die
well now we can all agree that it's no longer 100% wr against LPL :((
It is still tho
@@IgcBlank wait what fr ?
@@huyynguyenn6438the stat is series winrate, T1 has yet to lose a series to an LPL team at worlds
@@huyynguyenn6438 It's a series, not bo1, still 100%
3-0 vs TES
3-1 vs BLG
@@mikoangelo5957 ohh mb
He actually has too many stats lol 9they gotta make a slot in the hall of fame just for him to make it sepparate
they should've done a hall of legends with 10 players already and the last one announced being faker.
Now everybody who get added will be fucked
The Who clip talking about faker and he just paused to check the stage design ... like a butterfly .. you can’t focus .. what’s wrong with u 😢
this is lebron level of greatness
Honestly 2nd inductee should probably be Uzi.
youngest and oldest midlaner champion!
feels weird faker is the first one to be in there even while he's still an active player. should at least give some retired ppl a chance to get recognized......now everyone that comes after is just gonna get way weaker responses and some might even get blamed for "making the list weak"
The argument is that, who else deserves to be inducted into the hall of fame if not faker. The man is a legend, the face of league.
No one deserves to be in the HOF more than faker.
yeah but who else but the face of league itself to be inducted riot def aint waiting for faker to be retired in the next 2-3 yrs to start a hoL and there a still retired players that live up to the hall of fame standards like theres lit uzi xpeke
he has to go there first, otherwise his fans will send funeral flowers to riot headquarters like the way lpl fans did to a team that almost left worlds empty-handed
They’re tryna ride the hype from worlds and they’re using this to promote the new skin
Simply put, they are trying to make more money from faker fans
yeah the closest player at this point is probably "rookie" with only one championship
bro t1 have the worse fanbase on planet earth but faker is the greatest to have ever played the game. a career like his will prob never be replicated like his ever again. he had 4 corpses on his team at times and even got them a worlds trophy. insane player bro. prime 1v9 faker was one of a kind bro.
That's why he is the GOAT
The next hall of faker is gonna need to wait 10 years after faker retires
thats the whole point. faker is league of legends lol he cant retire today and no one will get close to his records. if he wins this year. hes gonna have 3 consecutive worlds twice and winning 2 in a row twice ;D the only match to fakers worlds record will be his head coach kkoma with 5. he won 1 with showmaker once he left faker and then came back after he won worlds again lol
imaqtpie clears these stats ngl
Lmao
Bengi and Kkoma next.
They literally have a temple of faker too
where reaction
im glad i was born in the world of faker.
