Zed8976 it's just so true cmon man fuck pirean we want faker and the others have to step up I want skt to be at worlds but with FAKER it will probably be his last time but it would be his last chance to win it with SKT
Yes, Bengi and Faker was by far the best duo in the competitive league, faker god of mechanics and bengi god of strategic, they are three times champions together to proof
It's so incredible for one human being to be so utterly dominant at one thing, so indisputably above millions of others, that literally every single serious commentator just agree that he is GOAT. Every "Top 10" list goes up to #2, and they're like "well, you all know who's number one." This kind of unanimous, unimpeachable dominance by a single party is almost nonexistent any field.
Try learning a dude named Wayne Gretzky. He holds 61 nhl records, including most goals, most assists, most points, most hat tricks, and lots more. I don't think you can dominate anything more than Wayne Gretzky did to hockey. Faker really isn't much compared to him
I know everything that is going on But i don't get the chills. Maybe its the opposite like if u know how to play your just impressed but because you can also do that.
dude he was legit the 2nd best mid player in the world at that time.. that shows how good faker was even at the start. and people also tend to forget the koreans got LoL servers like 2 years after everyone else. this might have been "season3" but for koreans it was start of the professional scene and EU/NA had already years to play the game
He learned a lot from losing MSI and missing out Worlds. Worlds without Faker is nothing... The saddest moment in LoL history will be when Faker retires. So its best to enjoy now.
The video was great but I don't know about 'the story of Faker', it was more like 'the story of SKT'. Would have loved to see more about Faker himself, becoming solo q god, getting the offer to join a pro team, the transition into pro life, seeing more of his individual outplays and hearing the comments from casters about how great he is personally etc. To each their own though, that's just me.
Yeah, it would be cool to hear more about the side of Faker most of us don't already know. Everyone who follows league knows his/skt's professional achievements.
That story probably won't come out until the end of Faker's career. Usually stories of a player's life do not come out while they are still actively playing.
@Angelo Palate, sure that's true, but in this we told the story of the team/s they played for and still didn't end up telling the story of the player lol. If you've seen that 'return of the king' faker montage, with the commentary from Thoorin overlaid about how amazing he is, well I got more enjoyment from that small montage than this whole video, personally.
I'm extremely new to the league community, and watching this is very interesting. I've heard of Faker before, but now learning a bit about him I'm honestly in shock. He's amazing, and I can only imagine the time he's put into being this good.
I am a bit sad for you being new in lol... You will never feel like us, showing 2013 worlds when faker came outa nothing. It was the most shocking thing I've ever seen. It was like a monster with 3yr old kids. It was just unbelievable he destroyed everybody and showed the whole world how to play this game...
Faker is not just the goat of League. He's the goat of eSports in general. He's on par with greats like MJ. His positioning, reaction, awareness, knowledge, intuition, movement, decision making, work ethic, passion, dedication and so much more. He is making art by playing a video game. Unbelievable.
Uhm no trust me he’s a legend but he is not on par with micheal jordan micheal jordan is known world wide u cSnt go out to s the street and ask people who’s faker they won’t know
This is Gold .. And when all of of us become much older and hear our grandson/daughter speaking of the game itself, we could say " Let me tell you a story you little noob, Long ago .. " ( Dramatic music playing) 3 years ago now look what had become of skt smh
His out play against Ryu will be the only outplay to be remembered forever, even if he makes a sicker play. It was such a golden moment that no other moment can beat it.
The video is 7 years ago and still the unkillable demon king still retains his crown winning the 2024 champions as well. This marks his 5th world championship. The goat for a reason
I don't think SKT is overrated, it's just Faker's fans are obnoxious Faker is extremely good, but wheneven the SKT lose faker'sfan blame Fakers teammates and when they won, they go "Faker best player" This is probably the reason why people hate SKT, because of obnoxious fans who revere Faker as a "perfect God" or some sort
@@justamoogle5268 SKT fake fans bashing everyone except Faker are being balanced by the fact that there are lots of Faker hater too, he probably is the player receiving the most criticism in the world when he's performing badly.

I followed his career from the beginning and what makes him the best player of all time for me is that he revolutionized the way people played the game. There was never someone as dominant as him. Never someone who was so much better than any other player in the world.
When he retires he'll probably make a team of his own and with his name being so recognized and prestigious it will probably be called Faker eSports. LOL imagine that...
faker is bad at coaching... he said git gut yesterday when someone asked for advice lul also kkoma is why skt is so strong... individual skill means nothing.. just look at kt rolster they have a better player lineup but not that good coach compared to kkoma
Is it Philippines?? In my class I told one of my classmates that i might get League of Legends then they were like Whats that?? Or they would say I should just play Mobile Legends
Faker was rank 1 without even trying during his time and he was eyed by SKT (the most prestiged esports org in South Korea). So obviously his dad knew he was meant to be a gamer
Well if you are a gamer just to play games for fun. Then your dad will not support you. But if you want to be a Pro Gamer and winning tournaments because it will give you alots of money. Then your dad will be proud of you for sure.
Damn Ryu should claim for mental damage every time Faker’s story is told lol Faker is my favourite LOL player, not only because of his insane skills and insight of the game, but also due to his determination and efforts he puts into it!
Faker's story is really really like a legend out of an anime story....like how he already is strong then experienced his first lose but then he learned after that lose and then it made him even more stronger than never before....it's really....just epic.......this guy is a true legend.
I was just thinking about this while watching the king's avatar. (Story about The best Esports player in a game called Glory who lead his team to 3 championship wins being forced to retire.
His education at the time was equivalent to a averaging high school graduate, or maybe just below. Mostly because I'm pretty sure Korea in general have one of the highest education out of 20 to 15 countries.
Watched this like a month ago or so and only knew league through some songs nd had heard of fnatic before since my cousin used to be a fan (like 8 years ago), but since then i've managed to watch every single professional game with faker and wow, this dude is just a god, like having won worlds in 2013, his first professional year, and then managing to stay on top for years, winning two additional worlds, a second place and a shared third place, that's just out of this world. Anyone managing to do that in any competitive form is just a god In the beginning I had no clue what I was even watching but I'm slowly learning, and as I am, he just becomes more and more impressive, dude's a legend and deserves so much praise truly hope for their best T1's best in 2020, can't wait for lck spring and hoping to see Faker standing strong with Teddy and the new team members, even without Kkoma World championship 2020? I'll be cheering for them! (also i'm starting to understand why so many people enjoy watching things like football, although league is shit ton of more fun)
They did great in the worlds tho, faker chocked hard to be honest, and the team chocked with him, it was a shame, they could have won it, still they give a great performance
I always felt like this vid could do 2 more things better: Establish what people thought Faker as he came into the LCK, which was an unknown kid who tore up solo queue, and that kill with Nidalee was like 6 minutes into his first ever competitive game. 2nd: Bengi. He’s not mentioned moving with Faker to the S5 roster and he was never absent from any conversation about Faker because they had so much synergy. The most iconic Mid/Jg duo in League history.
It's a shame that they did not show series against ROX in 2016 worlds. That year was the first time faker wasn't considered the best player and he prooved his worth there against smeb
+Justas Lasickas When they saw the 3 man gank escape that Faker pulled off on his orianna against ROX . Smeb knew it very well he will always be at the 2nd spot on the 2nd best team in the world. Everyone already knew it from before, they just got a visual confirmation.
I'm really glad Faker's dad was supportive of his gaming career. School Education is EXTREMELY important in SK; the fact he allowed his son to drop out of HS for gaming, smth most parents look down upon, is crazy and only shows how much his dad trusted him. It allowed him to be one of their nation's pride.
Ahhh No, he is getting old and even though I am a fan of his I don't think he will get any better because a lot of younger guys will probably outshine him now but they will always live under fakers shadow of being the best.
Thats fine he’s waiting for his teammates to be stronger and to keep enjoying the game, like he is now so free to play the way he likes it and not have full of pressure to win for profit but to win because he did his best together with his team if he keeps winning the other gamers might get bored and the LOL /riot games might recreate the game.
@@conantonio5854 no faker said it himself he likes winning but he knows it's hard to stay on top plus he no longer is pressured to perform since new headcoach was he's old teammate and he's already co owning skt whether or not he retires is up to him but the lpl and lck always have pros retiring after a few season to introduce fresh talent the real pressure for faker rn is choosing who would succeed him in his role when he retires i mean closer is pretty good but he's young so he could grow more plus the pressure of being the one to succeed such a legend is no easy task
Wenro Lacson the most saddest time was when skt had a perfect winter split and then they lost every split in a row. They couldn't even win NLB. The only time where skt struggled really hard.
F U I'm reporting your comment, your rights have been officially revoked, please report to your local police station and turn yourself in for your abuse towards not only the RUclips comment section but also the comment system, they said they will be pressing charges
I will never forget sobbing like a little kid when SKT lost MSI and Faker in the literal worst situation for a LB trying to 1v9 despite being completely countered in every way. GOAT. Will win 2 LCK MSI and Worlds 2022 this year.
Arnneth Pena if I'm not wrong he said it about whole tournament. SJokz asked which one title was the hardest for you: 2013 or 2016(because they were played both in America) and he answered about 2016
faker also said NA was equal to KR. hes a very humble player that will twist the truth. ROX 2016 was MILES ahead of SSG 2016 sorry to burst your bubble
Yeah after I watched the worlds finale and watching Bang man so many mistakes I was just flabbergasted. I'm curious why bang made so many mistakes, was it the stress of worlds or the fact it might be his last year to play due to south Korea's mandatory military service or what
@@mrcaterpillow9926 the pressure is insane for the skt guys, i recently watched a docuseries on skt done by OGN, they had an episode with bang and his parents crying... faker had to see a sports psychologist... none of them normally get to see their parents due to all the training... all of them were pretty messed up after losing worlds.
@@ch0mper I can imagine especially being the top players for 2 years straight being 3-0 must of hurt. Though that's what happens with stress gets to ya. I wish Bang the best, and the rest of SKT.
so annoying to hear the kids today say that showmaker surpass faker and conquer the world but they don't know that in faker prime, he is on another level that no one even comes close and he keeps that form for several years.
I have never seen such a carry job, besides maybe Simple in csgo as I did in the 2017 worlds. SKT should have been knocked out in the 2nd or even 3rd round. But, Idk how Faker managed to 1v9 all the way through the finals. But, the finals you can't just have one great player and hope to win. You need a team, and I felt so bad for Faker, but things are looking up for him now.
Even samsung's coach said on their pre-finals press conference that skt depends on faker way too much and his role in the team is very high. ie their side lanes don't contribute as much as he does. Even the his opponents coach recognized what he brings during their 2017 worlds run
For anyone who says "Oh this isn't a real sport". Well being a game devoloper myself. I can say there is no difference between a game like Baseball or Basketball, Board game like Chess or a video game like LoL or a slot machine. They all are entertainments, set of rules and competition. Whether it is a sports arena, a board game or a digital gaming world. You can apply the same set of rules in any of them with a game. It all requires quick thinking(which is your brains) and strategy.
@@kinghades3356 There was games where he destroyed mid lanes that the jungle was forced to camp mid but still get wrecked by faker. Making other lanes harder since skt jungle can move freely knowing the enemy jungle camps mid and still gets killed. That's the impact of faker's presence
Years later I'm watching this video and I had braced myself so heavily to hear at the end that SKT's dominance had come to an end facing SSG in World's 2017 with the one of the largest upsets in Gaming. Then I realized the time this video was posted 😩😭
Apparently you don't have parents that support you. His father noticed Faker was good at playing games, he quickly realized that he could make a living off of it, and so he did. His father supported him and gave him the right motivation to keep going. Nobody is going to become a pro-gamer if their families hate them for it.
Watching this 5 years after it was posted and Faker is not only still the GOAT, he's just casually adding on more and more accomplishments and titles to his cap every year. T1 World 2022 champs tomorrow, no doubt!
I don't watch League, but Faker is probably the greatest esport athlete of all time, I don't know any other player who dominated their game as much as he has done, he's only 25 right now thats insane to me Like using CSGO as an example, even the GOAT of the game has rivals that aren't too far away from him, Zywoo has less years under his belt at tier 1 but he's already going toe to toe with s1mple and stole 2 #1 HLTV top player placements from him
Faker is the best LOL player that I know.Respect.He started gaming at the age of childhood and shoutout to his parents who let him play and believe him like that
Big shoutout to Faker, his dad and the BROWSER for displaying League of legends lol.Without the browser faker would havent known this game and coudnt get this famous and the best!Cheers :)
14:20 "This guy (Faker) deserves it (i.e the title of MvP). He's the best player to ever pick up a mouse and keyboard in League of Legends" The commentator could not have put it better. Even if he may not be the best anymore, there will never ever be another League of Legends player like Faker who carried his team and stomped the opposition in such an often unimpeded fashion, who was so ahead of his time as to be undisputably hailed as the Greatest of All time. Thank you for the video, almost 4 years later.

Is it Philippines?? In my class I told one of my classmates that i might get League of Legends then they were like
Whats that?? Or they would say I should just play Mobile Legends
Roses are red
Violets are blue
There's always an Asian better than you
Korean to be precise
Faxxx
True...:(
And then there's russians. The perfect counter
But I Asian
"Dad wanted him to be a gamer..."
I wish I had that support lmfao
You need to catch up to Faker first lol
Are you indian?
South Koreans are like that
Faker was rank 1 without even trying during his time and he was eyed by SKT (the most prestiged esports org in South Korea). So obviously his dad knew he was meant to be a gamer
Well if you are a gamer just to play games for fun. Then your dad will not support you. But if you want to be a Pro Gamer and winning tournaments because it will give you alots of money. Then your dad will be proud of you for sure.
I'm a dota player, but man mad respect to this guy he made a huge name to himself and a awesome legacy to lol.
Damn Ryu should claim for mental damage every time Faker’s story is told lol
Faker is my favourite LOL player, not only because of his insane skills and insight of the game, but also due to his determination and efforts he puts into it!
When the whole korean industry knows u and the whole world know u as a legend. I think the title League of Legends came form the legend himself
And here we are. Our name? ARMY researching squad.
lmaooo same
Hahaha same lmao
same
Hahaha
You join the army? Cool
Faker's story is really really like a legend out of an anime story....like how he already is strong then experienced his first lose but then he learned after that lose and then it made him even more stronger than never before....it's really....just epic.......this guy is a true legend.
I was just thinking about this while watching the king's avatar. (Story about The best Esports player in a game called Glory who lead his team to 3 championship wins being forced to retire.
i finished the kings avatar just yesterday, and the first thought i had after i finished watching this video was: i want to rewatch the kings avatar
Lol that's a little insulting to Faker. He's better than anything from anime, come on
He is like Messi of LOL. Most Skillful chill humble dude you found on that community. You just can't hate these kind of people.
true bro true no one hates faker
The Story of Faker: The Greatest of All Time
Ryu: agh shit, here we go again
can we talk about his ASIAN dad wanting him to be a PROFESSIONAL GAMER
Yes!!! Very Unique. Even amongst Korean family, its not common to want your kid to become a pro gamer. Many of them would say "Such a waste of time"
can we talk about how youre racist? lmao
@@callysta1414 you didn't get the point
@@callysta1414 can you shut the fuck up
found this video again after faker’s 4th worlds win. may he have another ten dominant years in the game doing what he loves 🎉
Thanks to EDG beating SKT at 2015 Mid Season Invatational Final, Faker came back stronger than ever.
High school dropouts.
Most famous people.
He's Korean, his dropout level is way higher than the average university graduate in the US.
Christian Kendall I think it’s because of the high stress they have
I meant that hes smarter
@@ShinobiXRevived his studying mark is good iirc
His education at the time was equivalent to a averaging high school graduate, or maybe just below. Mostly because I'm pretty sure Korea in general have one of the highest education out of 20 to 15 countries.
Who's after bighit confirmed that bts x faker and his team for tomorrows run bts
ME OHMYGOD I FUCKING LOVE FAKER SO MUCH IM PRACTICALLY CRYING AT THIS POINT
meee because i need to know what’s going on tomorrow,, i don’t even know how to play league of legends 💀
I'm a responsible army so of course I'm doing my homework on League of legends and T1 before the episode tomorrow ☝🏼😌
Me too!!!
I don't know sh*t about games but here I am. Faker is cute though 🥰
i dont even enjoy league of legends but man did i enjoy this video
I've never touched that game and this was great watch
same xD
Damn, mass respect for Faker, even tho I don't play LoL. His life must have had a lot of drama.
Damn, I didn't know that he was known in Growtopia.
how did you get the name Dirt
Watched this like a month ago or so and only knew league through some songs nd had heard of fnatic before since my cousin used to be a fan (like 8 years ago), but since then i've managed to watch every single professional game with faker and wow, this dude is just a god, like having won worlds in 2013, his first professional year, and then managing to stay on top for years, winning two additional worlds, a second place and a shared third place, that's just out of this world. Anyone managing to do that in any competitive form is just a god
In the beginning I had no clue what I was even watching but I'm slowly learning, and as I am, he just becomes more and more impressive, dude's a legend and deserves so much praise
truly hope for their best T1's best in 2020, can't wait for lck spring and hoping to see Faker standing strong with Teddy and the new team members, even without Kkoma
World championship 2020? I'll be cheering for them!
(also i'm starting to understand why so many people enjoy watching things like football, although league is shit ton of more fun)
And now I'm here, crying that he didn't make it to finals
It feels bad man but its okay faker era is over. And still the goat
@captain teemo nah, he will...no such exception for gaming field
captain teemo he can push military till he is 27 in international age. Korean law allows that. Faker will turn 24 next year so he has at least 3 years
They did great in the worlds tho, faker chocked hard to be honest, and the team chocked with him, it was a shame, they could have won it, still they give a great performance
@@enkhriimaauyanga9719 Nah he can play until he's 29. Imagine if he wins Worlds in his last season. Wouldn't that be wonderful.
I always felt like this vid could do 2 more things better:
Establish what people thought Faker as he came into the LCK, which was an unknown kid who tore up solo queue, and that kill with Nidalee was like 6 minutes into his first ever competitive game.
2nd: Bengi. He’s not mentioned moving with Faker to the S5 roster and he was never absent from any conversation about Faker because they had so much synergy. The most iconic Mid/Jg duo in League history.
Never played LOL, I don't even know whats going on in the gameplay, I just like his story as an athlete
U represent my position so precisely 😄
Athlete?
@@furyborn.1409 eSports athlete
Same
I don't know anything about LoL and I have no idea what is going on I just know that it's pretty insane what he is doing
But I like his story
It's a shame that they did not show series against ROX in 2016 worlds. That year was the first time faker wasn't considered the best player and he prooved his worth there against smeb
they could also have shown the kespa cup match that happened right after where Rox won the final
+Justas Lasickas When they saw the 3 man gank escape that Faker pulled off on his orianna against ROX . Smeb knew it very well he will always be at the 2nd spot on the 2nd best team in the world. Everyone already knew it from before, they just got a visual confirmation.
I'm really glad Faker's dad was supportive of his gaming career. School Education is EXTREMELY important in SK; the fact he allowed his son to drop out of HS for gaming, smth most parents look down upon, is crazy and only shows how much his dad trusted him. It allowed him to be one of their nation's pride.
Next Story :
2019 , The Redemption of Faker
who would've thought..Nostradamus izzat you?
u are right man!! he is back!!!!!!
Yeah no.. Maybe next year?
Ahhh No, he is getting old and even though I am a fan of his I don't think he will get any better because a lot of younger guys will probably outshine him now but they will always live under fakers shadow of being the best.
@@a.syching678 Exactly. Once he's retired you can never beat him, you can only become worthy to be spoken along side him.
6 years later dude is still taking over games. Crazy!
Mannnn worlds is going to be boring without faker
gen.g cant even defend their title
Its boring
word, i barely watched any of worlds, i just went on fakers live stream lul
Thats fine he’s waiting for his teammates to be stronger and to keep enjoying the game, like he is now so free to play the way he likes it and not have full of pressure to win for profit but to win because he did his best together with his team if he keeps winning the other gamers might get bored and the LOL /riot games might recreate the game.
@@conantonio5854 no faker said it himself he likes winning but he knows it's hard to stay on top plus he no longer is pressured to perform since new headcoach was he's old teammate and he's already co owning skt whether or not he retires is up to him but the lpl and lck always have pros retiring after a few season to introduce fresh talent the real pressure for faker rn is choosing who would succeed him in his role when he retires i mean closer is pretty good but he's young so he could grow more plus the pressure of being the one to succeed such a legend is no easy task
Watching this knowing that he’s the first hall of legends inductee is *chef’s kiss*
I actually cried when he lost for the first time using leblanc.....
Wenro Lacson the most saddest time was when skt had a perfect winter split and then they lost every split in a row. They couldn't even win NLB. The only time where skt struggled really hard.
ikr ;~;
We'll cried
F U LMAOOO
F U I'm reporting your comment, your rights have been officially revoked, please report to your local police station and turn yourself in for your abuse towards not only the RUclips comment section but also the comment system, they said they will be pressing charges
Faker's story always gives me chills. Man is a legend. I'm sad he's not at worlds this year, but such things happen. Ups and downs.
6 years later, he won another world championship and MSI
Now it is finally time for redemption!! SKT T1 in Worlds 2019 as the 1st seed of LCK!
JH Kim hope G2 wins
Sad that rng is eliminated
Im a SKT Fans Since 2014. Win Or Lose, SKT Forever
#SKT
NH3AR Zausa nah dude king zone and KVS.
NH3AR Zausa I say that because SKT is currently the worst team in korea
No they arent.
Fighting Dreamers i mean... The only original teammate left is faker and the rest are pretty bad compare to the old members...
@@정우준-s1q ikr
You left out the fact that SKT took revenge on EDG, sweeping them in the group stage. I think it was an important moment...
Nicholas tesla
I will never forget sobbing like a little kid when SKT lost MSI and Faker in the literal worst situation for a LB trying to 1v9 despite being completely countered in every way.
GOAT. Will win 2 LCK MSI and Worlds 2022 this year.
I'm having a research because there's a rumor that faker will appear in bts' run episode
Ok it's not a rumor...it real now
Its confirmed. I'm so happy.
Yep it is real
Edited. For typo error.
You better research your English
im here after watching the run episode...it was super fun to watch
You guys should make a video on Kkoma.
and Wedding xD
rawr XD
Harold Ang They should make a video of me. Thee greatest Silver II player to have ever been
Harold Ang im gold 2 89 lp get on my level
Harold Ang plat 3, get on my lvl :)
Watching this after their loss at Worlds 2017... win or lose, SKT is still the best team in league of legends history imo
It's the truth unless ig can win worlds again this year then no team in history is close to faker
@@fluffything7134 Nope, SKT 3 - 0 just stomped GRF so hard
great video but really bad decision not to show the "true" 2016 worlds finals between Rox and Skt. That was an extremely important series.
Pure0wnU30Videos RS
yeah, it will be a lot better if SKT faces ROX in the finals but, they just fought in the semis
But faker said that samsung series was the hardest of his life.
The baron exchanges in the last few games though... That series was so hype(except the first 2 games)! But the series against ROX was really good too.
Arnneth Pena if I'm not wrong he said it about whole tournament. SJokz asked which one title was the hardest for you: 2013 or 2016(because they were played both in America) and he answered about 2016
faker also said NA was equal to KR. hes a very humble player that will twist the truth. ROX 2016 was MILES ahead of SSG 2016 sorry to burst your bubble
Since I stopped playing Dota. I tried playing LoL because of Faker. I thought he's good and for me he is the Miracle of LoL. this Faker is a monster.
and then bang comes and 1v5 flashes and skt lost.
wasnt rekkless the one who did that? lol
Yeah after I watched the worlds finale and watching Bang man so many mistakes I was just flabbergasted. I'm curious why bang made so many mistakes, was it the stress of worlds or the fact it might be his last year to play due to south Korea's mandatory military service or what
@@mrcaterpillow9926 the pressure is insane for the skt guys, i recently watched a docuseries on skt done by OGN, they had an episode with bang and his parents crying... faker had to see a sports psychologist... none of them normally get to see their parents due to all the training... all of them were pretty messed up after losing worlds.
@@ch0mper I can imagine especially being the top players for 2 years straight being 3-0 must of hurt. Though that's what happens with stress gets to ya. I wish Bang the best, and the rest of SKT.
Poor Ryu, he dies every time we talk about Faker's past, LOL
Legend Lee hahahahhahahhahha
Legend Lee he Will always be remembered as Faker's best play victim xD
at least Ryu is remembered more than lot of old players hahaha
Who came after rise?
me
All the people that clicked
here we go
RISE
Why do people comment this on every single LoL video now?
so annoying to hear the kids today say that showmaker surpass faker and conquer the world but they don't know that in faker prime, he is on another level that no one even comes close and he keeps that form for several years.
yessir
And it'll be his 4th worlds this 2019. So nostalgic to see him together with bang and wolf. Also coach kkOma on-stage.
Yeah, i gues SKT wont loose a single game in the finals.
@@juliank.6424 that just.......god you really had to do it to him
@captain teemo thats why i said SKT wont loose a single game.Wie
Ryu dies every min bc of this vid. Lol
the legend is about every 5m , as far as I know
Bálint Ujvári Well yep but it depends bc ppl keep sharing it so the time gets lesser and lesser bc ppl keep rewatching the vid Lol
Still love the fact that both Shen's had ulti but was like, "must respect 1v1"
+Keo GG
I've never noticed that. Thanks for sharing that cool thing : )
who is ryu and why sorry I havent been following the game that much for some time
I have never seen such a carry job, besides maybe Simple in csgo as I did in the 2017 worlds. SKT should have been knocked out in the 2nd or even 3rd round. But, Idk how Faker managed to 1v9 all the way through the finals. But, the finals you can't just have one great player and hope to win. You need a team, and I felt so bad for Faker, but things are looking up for him now.
Even samsung's coach said on their pre-finals press conference that skt depends on faker way too much and his role in the team is very high. ie their side lanes don't contribute as much as he does. Even the his opponents coach recognized what he brings during their 2017 worlds run
bro fr, that 5-game Galio masterclass against RNG in the semis will remain as one of the greatest BO5 performances by a single player ever
Came here from Run BTS. Faker is really that big.
Fo real, Faker is like a legend
yess i don’t play lol, but i know him even before the run episode
Yes, if Dendi is the face of DotA, Faker is the face of League of Legends
Little confused how they did not mention Rox Tigers once in this video, but still good video.
The Rox Tigers didn't face SKT in any of the finals. It was GE Tigers and KOO Tigers during the finals. The video shows those.
Greatest Moment rox tiger was koo tiger
They did in Kespa cup.
won against skt in final
dude, that frst part "Believed to be a pro gamer"
did you forgot that faker himself said that his parent doesnt agree bout him playing everytime?
who's here after SKT just won the Spring LCK against GFN?
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
I came here before a DREAM TEAM VS EUROPE DREAM TEAM
Grf*
Boi just you wait until they win MSI and Worlds
You know.. like... again lol
Who's here after the did it again
ieatrisk I came here after skt won to spy
For anyone who says "Oh this isn't a real sport". Well being a game devoloper myself. I can say there is no difference between a game like Baseball or Basketball, Board game like Chess or a video game like LoL or a slot machine. They all are entertainments, set of rules and competition. Whether it is a sports arena, a board game or a digital gaming world. You can apply the same set of rules in any of them with a game. It all requires quick thinking(which is your brains) and strategy.
Hey I am a game artist too
Tell them this.......Faker made about $1.2 million a year since being professional......he just got $5 million contact which is for about 3 years
OH LOOK AT THE CLEANSE, LOOK AT THE MOVES!
FAKER WITH THE HUGE (WHAT) PLAY, THE QSS!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST SAW THAT!!!
I miss Doa so much.
Monte and Doa, the irreplaceable duo...
Udayveer Singh They are casting overwatch now.
Invluo I know but...who finds overwatch fun to watch? I miss them casting LoL
Faker makes the other professionals look like theyre trash at the game
*skt. Without his team his flashy plays are pointless
@@kinghades3356 Without his flashy plays SKT wouldn't exist
@@kinghades3356 Well, Faker is the best player in his team while SKT is the best team at that time. It's obvious who's trash and who's not
@@kinghades3356 There was games where he destroyed mid lanes that the jungle was forced to camp mid but still get wrecked by faker. Making other lanes harder since skt jungle can move freely knowing the enemy jungle camps mid and still gets killed. That's the impact of faker's presence
Theyere just the best at the same time
Years later I'm watching this video and I had braced myself so heavily to hear at the end that SKT's dominance had come to an end facing SSG in World's 2017 with the one of the largest upsets in Gaming. Then I realized the time this video was posted 😩😭
"His father who believed that Faker was born to be a pro gamer" I wish i was born in the new generation.
I love a humble story like this, it really uplifts me.
Im playing dota but this guy got my respect idk why
my gut feelings tells me to do so
Hwi Seong he won the spring championship by using 2 supports
i dont even fucking play mobas wtf am i doing here
Johnny i dont even own a computer what the fuck am i doing here!
just a scrub for pro dota2 players
I had the same reaction watching the dendi documentary as a League player
"His father believed he was born to be pro gamer" wtf
Светослав Дойчинов uhh he was right?
Thats korea. If you want to be famous in KR, you become a pro gamer.
Apparently you don't have parents that support you. His father noticed Faker was good at playing games, he quickly realized that he could make a living off of it, and so he did. His father supported him and gave him the right motivation to keep going. Nobody is going to become a pro-gamer if their families hate them for it.
Avana No it’s just some people misunderstood and thought that papa faker told his son as soon as he was born..., “you are going to be a pro gamer.”
tell that to doublelift m8
I can't believe that this video is 4 years old & Faker is still relevant. GOAT
4th World Championship
Watching this 5 years after it was posted and Faker is not only still the GOAT, he's just casually adding on more and more accomplishments and titles to his cap every year. T1 World 2022 champs tomorrow, no doubt!
Did you forget to include the part when they uncovered that Barcode killer, the Riven Main, was him playing in NA Server?
Its been 5 years since T1's last win, but we'll be waiting for the comeback of the king. 😌
This was released 3 years ago but I still always watch this per month
I don't watch League, but Faker is probably the greatest esport athlete of all time, I don't know any other player who dominated their game as much as he has done, he's only 25 right now thats insane to me
Like using CSGO as an example, even the GOAT of the game has rivals that aren't too far away from him, Zywoo has less years under his belt at tier 1 but he's already going toe to toe with s1mple and stole 2 #1 HLTV top player placements from him
Faker is the best LOL player that I know.Respect.He started gaming at the age of childhood and shoutout to his parents who let him play and believe him like that
Big shoutout to Faker, his dad and the BROWSER for displaying League of legends lol.Without the browser faker would havent known this game and coudnt get this famous and the best!Cheers :)
14:20 "This guy (Faker) deserves it (i.e the title of MvP). He's the best player to ever pick up a mouse and keyboard in League of Legends"
The commentator could not have put it better. Even if he may not be the best anymore, there will never ever be another League of Legends player like Faker who carried his team and stomped the opposition in such an often unimpeded fashion, who was so ahead of his time as to be undisputably hailed as the Greatest of All time. Thank you for the video, almost 4 years later.
