Among 14times worlds, participated 9times out of 12times(started his career from season3), advanced to the final 7times , won worlds 5times. What a crazy he is.
@@Phenom_Pat No Faker won - I am like 99.999% sure. I only know because he only had one Finals MVP before and they mentioned it. There is no way he does not win finals MVP with game 54 and game 5 performance. The second closest to MVP would probably be Guma
In a game of League of Legends, there are 3 lanes on the map named Summoner's Rift. Each team has 5 players: - Top lane will have one player. This is usually where you'll have your team's tank or fighter. - Mid lane will have one player. Here you have your magic damage dealers, aka mages, or assassins. - Bot lane features two players, usually the team's main physical damage dealer and the support player. - The 5th player plays in the foresty area between the lanes called the Jungle. The Jungler roams from lane to lane, securing objectives and advantages for their team. Here are what the main leagues are. - LCK = Korean League - LPL = Chinese League - LCS = North American League (USA/Canada)* - LEC = European League *Starting 2025, the LCS is being rebranded to the LTA and will include all of both North and South Americas. In a typical year, there are 4 main tournaments. - Spring Split (regional) - Mid-Season Invitational (international) also known as MSI - Summer Split (regional) - World Championship, also known as Worlds The Golden Road is achieved when a team wins both Spring and Summer in their region, as well as both international tournaments. So far, no one has accomplished this, though some teams have come close.
Bong Joon Ho : One of the best Korean Director Kim Yuna : Well knowned single-ladies figure skating BTS : you know them Song Heung Min : Footballer currently play for Tottenham Hotspurs (EPL) and captain. I could say He's already a legend there Faker : Unkillable Demon King, one of the best E-Sport player for LoL out there
42:39 He is very proud. It must not have been easy raising his children by himself and then your teenaged son tells you he is quitting school to pursue pro-gaming. And this was 10 years ago. Back when esports athlete wasn’t even a thing. We are very thankful to Faker’s dad and the entire family. They raised a phenomenal athlete and amazing human being.
There were already professional esports players in Korea for games like starcraft, even before league came out, and far longer before the first pro careers in the west were starting. though it was way less common. Doesn’t make it any easier. Now that esports is so much more popular, it’s actually way harder to get in to than ever before. The thing about Faker that’s amazing is the way he’s managed to level up with his younger competition (with the exception of 2018-19 of course), even as the skill level of pro league gets higher every year.
While it has fallen off in other areas, starcraft had a HUGE following in Korea for competitive gaming. They're one of the first countries to really monetize competitive gaming.
(These are some of the achievements for the 3 World Icons) Son Heung-Min - Professional Soccer player : First asian to score 100 Premiere League goals, Asian games and gold medalist, named the best player in Asia. Kim Yuna - Professional Ice Skater :First female to win every major international competition, won 2010 Olympic gold medal, became World champion at 2009, and has a signature move of her own. Bong Joon Ho - Film director : Named one of the top 100 Most Influential People, the first Korean film (Parasite) to win best picture at the Academy Award, Best Director, and best original screenplay. Has become the 25 best film directors of the 21st century (metacritics)
The Hall of legends video was before the world championship this year, he has won again, the unkillable demon king is back baby! FORM IS TEMPORARY! FAKER IS FOREVER!!!!
Yes Faker won his 5th Worlds Championship this year and also Final MVP for 2024. Great reactions as always dont apologize for the pause. u have to watch The Numbers: Faker next!
Great reaction, you said you were someone that tends to get "overly invested" in the things you watch, but I think that's a super valuable quality to have as a reactor. Love you!
16:30 funny is when they mentioned his downfall began he still made it to the world final game and became semi finalist. So being the best player of the worlds second best team is called his downfall. That’s how high his stakes are
This year, half a mont ago was held Worlds 2024...and our "Unkillable Demon King was unkillable one more time" (quote from the last game from final series). It was epic, truly epic, T1 and Faker were 1 game from NOT qualifying to Worlds, and still get there. They faced hardest opponents of all teams, defeated team to whom they losed every time, faced Strongest team in finals...lost 1 match, won second, lost third, won fourth and it was match point 2-2. And in last 5 game Faker did truly miraculous plays 2 times and reversed the game winning it for his team. Faker won again, for 5th time. And even got final MVP. Proved he is still the GOAT
You should definitely check out the T1 Rose Together RedBull documentary if you want a more in-depth look into how they won in 2023 and the journey they took that year to get there
34:25 Yes, 2024 Worlds recently happened. Linkin Park did the anthem with their new singer Emily Armstrong. They even did it live at the finals ceremony. In the official video for it, T1 is depicted as the final boss. There was another great worlds video "Rise" that featured him as well.
it's fine that u kept pausing; that means u wanted to understand as much as possible. i also did a lot of research about LoL esports when i first watched and knew about it so it can be understandable to be confused and overwhelmed about it. I wanted to see new people getting into this community so thanks for reacting to this and our goat hihi
30:11 faker literally wasn’t close to be healed again but he said he watched a lot of games and played ranked games as much as he could to atleast keep his muscle memory going while being injured. But he came back still injured because he was afraid his team needed him badly to get qualified for the worlds. And he had to sit differently learn to hold his mouse and keyboard differently t in order to be able to play with the least amount of pain. But he still needed hand Massage Treatments after every game series he played. So he was not okay but he kept pushing
For people who dont know, esport was already a thing in East Asia since the 2000. Many of us don't get to watch those live back then, but we knew it existed. Tournaments grew as the internet spread globally. Live events and streaming made it easier for fans to experience the thrill.
starcraft was always the typical korean e-sport. but Starcraft E-Sports dies slowly. so they needed a new title. LoL was the new thing but after 2014 the "korean exodus" nearly killed the e-sport in korea completly. When SKT T1 didnt had won this year nearly everything, we would maybe not have this region anymore or not even close to LEC and LPL.
@Dermi_Sky I remember a lot of Korean play StarCraft. I played it once and got so into it, but as more games came out, from LAN to online, Starcraft got left behind. Kespa shut down the team years ago. SKT's losing streak, however, didn't deter growth. Statistically, gaming is still good, SKT1 was just not in its best form for years.
What's more impressive is the fact the south korea didn't have a dedicated LoL server back in the day so during the early days of league they would suffer from high ping which made them kinda "late" to the international scene but lo and behold they are now one of the major regions in the world
If you liked this you definitely should check out the worlds opening ceremony. this years was imo the best. Also if you like the lore and backstory with players this year they made crazy good teasers for the semi finals and finals before the matches to hype up the matches. GenG vs T1 Teaser 2024 and BLG vs T1 Teaser 2024 where really well made and hype as a recommendation
you have no idea of how muuuch i loved your reaction, so real and you're truly interested in everything. Don't even worry about pausing as long as you don't speak over the video cause you could miss some important parts. I'll be waiting for other league of legends reactions!
you should check out the opening and closing ceremonies. or the highlights of the finals Faker been in. It will blow your mind. Worlds Tournament always start sometime around SEP with the Finals usually ends on late or early November.
They won this year as well and not just that they won, they were with their backs against the wall the opponent had the upper hand and two games in a row faker single handedly turns the match in their favor with absolute insane plays. Absolute recommended to watch Game 4 and 5 of 2024 Worlds Final.
Yes opening ceremonies too! they're pretty cool as well. And yeah Faker and T1 won this year's Worlds as well, making this his 5th worlds win. The GOAT.
10:54 - that's an old Urgot (before getting rework), his R backthen was switching his place with the enemy (faker in the vid) and faker's champs has the Q to dash that almost look like he is teleporting
26:15 Dragons and other monsters are around the map. There are a few important ones- dragons and the Baron Nashor. They both give effects to the entire team and can be the difference between winning and losing sometimes. They're called 'objectives' and there's a role called "the Jungler" whose main job is to get them.
I want to expand a bit on the creativity angle. When you play a pick nobody else play, they have 0 experience against it. A large part of League is knowledge based. It's the first thing I learned when I watched somebody commentate their play. They knew when they had enough damage for a kill for example and when to back off. Decision making basically. He won his fifth and his best plays were yes, skillful. But more importantly he's seen as a God for his decisions. It's something many COULD do but likely wouldn't. He saved his team several times in the finals with these decisions winning his 5th worlds. So on this champion nobody else plays you gain experience vs the usual champions. The ones everyone else plays. You know how to play against them. But they don't know how to play against you. They don't know your damage, survivability, etc. Of course this is balanced by something being meta/normal for a good reason. So execution is everything because usually this creative pick will have much less room for error. As Faker himself said here, initially he could get away with these non-meta pics because of the gulf in pure skill. But like in most e-sports that skill gap shrank. Faker no longer could just do "whatever". Today calling him the best player in the world comes with some caveats. He's clutch as hell. Stupidly so. He's a teamleader. Likely the best there is. But in terms of pure early game he's expected to lose to several people these days. Simply doing this for 11 years now and still being here at all is incredible. Winning world 11 years later is just incredible.
You could also ask google to get your answers :) Bong Joon-ho = movie producer from south korea, that even won the oscars Kim Yuna = Ice skate dancer, who won the 2010 olympic gold medal Son Heung-min = footballer from south korea, played in Bundesliga and Premier League, I think they won the gold medal at asian games, but thats up to you to google :)
Son Heung-min - footballer, play for Tottenham Hotspur, won ASIAD 18 BTS - Boyband, the most famous one, some MV reach 1 billion view Bong Joon-ho - Well, you know Parasite 2019? Yeah he direct that Faker - 5th Worlds in London BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats so insane about the comeback 2023 is, that T1 was essentially the same team minus Faker for the 31 Day loosing streak and even when Faker came back to continue playing it was obvious his injury was handicapping him. Still just his presence there and his shotcalling an game knowledge was enough to transform the perma loosing last place into the world champions
5:26 You probably wont understand this clip fully unless you start playing the game, but I'll try to explain in a nutshell what happened here. I'm not doubting your ability to understand this, I just remember myself seeing League clips for the first time xD In this era of League of Legends, mirror matchups (one player from each team playing the same character) were possible, and this is a Zed mirror matchup, meaning both Faker and Ryu are playing Zed. (Most) champions in League have 4 abilities: Q, W, E, and R, R being the ultimate ability with a higher cooldown (it takes longer for you to be able to use it again). Zed's Q throws a shuriken in a straight line. His W throws a "Living Shadow" in a straight line, which stays there for a few seconds. The shadows replicate Zed's damaging abilities, so his Q and E. If you throw a Q (a shuriken), the shadow throws one as well. Zed can press W again to switch places with the shadow. His E slashes around him, dealing damage. If you have a shadow somewhere, the shadow slashes around itself as well. His R (ultimate) teleports him to the target, leaving a shadow where he used his ultimate from. When he arrives at the target, he has a few seconds to damage the target. When the "few seconds" are over, the ultimate explodes, damaging the target based on the damage Zed dealt to them in those "few seconds". Zed can press R again to switch places with the shadow left behind where he used his ultimate from. So Zed can have 2 shadows and himself to deal damage with his Q and E abilities, meaning that he can throw 3 shurikens at once, and he can cover a larger area with his slash. He can also teleport twice during a fight, once to his W shadow, and once to his R shadow. Faker's play in this clip is a very advanced and clever use of Zed's shadows, especially for its time. Nowadays, probably a Gold or Platinum rank Zed main player could replicate this play's mechanics. But back then literally no one had mechanical skills like Faker. The fact that he started the fight on 25% HP vs Ryu's 100% HP is the cherry on top. If this wasn't clear enough, but you want to learn more, I recommend looking at Zed's abilities one by one on the official League of Legends website. 10:50 And uhhh, he pressed Q...xD That's Master Yi's Q ability, Alpha Strike. He clicks on a target, disappears until he slashes 4 times, and appears at the target. It sounds a lot more complicated than it actually is xD Master Yi is actually one of the easier champions in the game. 11:53 Back then it probably wasn't normal for video games, other then Counter Strike Global Offensive (CSGO) and League of Legends, and maybe Evo, a large scale eSports event for fighting games (Mortal Kombat, Tekken, etc). Nowadays eSports events can fill very big stadiums.
Basically, LOL is 5v5 arena BUT there is few things : 3 LANES : Top (tank champ),Mid (Faker plays it, its magical damage) ) and BOT (ADC physical damage) with his support (heal him and protect him) and JUNGLE (where someone is roaming killing camps for gaining exp and gold , the 2 big ones are Drake And NASHOR they are PVE The little thing moving by themself are "creep", when you kill it it gives you exp and GOLD and with this gold you can manage to buy item to be stronger and stronger
This accolade, Hall of Legends was made before Worlds 2024 (happens yearly between October-November), in the middle of the year, so the Worlds wins are at 4. They just won the 5th (only team to have 5 Worlds, back to back from Worlds 23 with the same roster, remember as well that they made finals in Worlds 22, so only team 2 get 3 consecutive finals apprarances..and the only team to get back to back TWICE before any other team in the whole world of LOL to get 2 championships) last Nov 2, and Faker got his 2nd Finals MVP (only person as well). A lot of people said he should not have been the first to be inducted since he is still actively playing- but nobody comes close to his stats and wins.
This video legacy for his induction to the hall of legend was made before his 5th Worlds trophy. The greatest esport athlete to touch the keyboard and mouse.
on 2nd of November he became World Champion 5th time - second time in a row, third time in a row in a final. Also League is probably the game with the highest skill celling and it hasnt even been reached yet by anyone, not even Faker reached the full potential of the game. Everyday something new comes that people find out they can do.
22:30 kkoma was fakers former coach but he left when a lot of people left t1 and then when faker was defeated It wqs by the new team kkoma coached that’s why faker came up to him and said good job sinercily
You should also watch the other videos that got released next to the documentary like "The Numbers" and "The Plays". Also T1 and Faker ran it back this year and won again with the same 5 team members meaning Faker is now a 5 time world champion and he got MVP this tournament so he is the only player with two MVP titles at worlds.
24:20 His old team didn't come back. Instead a new generation of monsters came to play with him. Before, we had Faker and his teammates. You could focus on taking him down and the rest would follow. Now, we have 5 good players in one team. Each game, one of them would step up and bring a performance that's worthy of hayday Faker. Until eventually, we ended up with 5 Fakers in 1 team. I shit you not, Keria their Support, a role that is low impact in a the game was considered the best player in the world. That's like a goal keeper in football getting best player. That's how much of a monster Keria became. He had to deal with poor teammates, teammates that couldn't click together and bad coaching staff for years, so I couldn't dream of a better reward for his resilience all these years.
There are a few other interviews related to the hall of legends and faker u should watch. Its about his stats, quotes, records, trophies. all the juicy stuff
Yes this years worlds already happened and T1 won! Incredible achievement as that T1 roster made it to the worlds finals 3 years in a row (2022-2024) and won the in 23 and 24 making them consecutive world champions which is unprecedented in the scene!
I think a new video that just came out called "League of Legends For People Who Will Never Play It" will be a very good watch if you're interested in knowing more about how the game works! As a league player, I watched that video and I'd recommend it 10/10.
FUN FACT: On the skin they gave Zed, they put a reference to that play he did with the champion. The voice lines goes like "Look at the skills, look at the moves, ZED what was that?"
Faker is absolute Legend, even if you don't play League even if you are not into ESports, FAKER is one name you should be familiar with or else you are living under a rock. He's the undisputed GOAT in entirety of ESports.
You should watch the finals teasers and semi finals teasers RIOT does goated trailers for those ones. 2023 and 2024 semi final and finals teasers. Watch the opening ceremonies all of them are goated. RIOT also cooks at their music production
Faker is the legend that carved its name in the history of League of Legends that many have admire even up to this point and for those who supported him his downfall is also ours to bear specially when he lost for the first time
I love stories like this about e sports/sports player and thier anime like journey. There is also like that story on dota2 if you are interested. Underdog story of OG in TI8 or true sight. 😊
The little 'bots' that don't have names above them are called 'minions' and the players can kill them for experience to level up and gold for items to give you an advantage. When you hear "CS" it means how many minions you've killed.
Yes they competed in worlds this year and they won as well. They won 3-2 with the same roster as 2023, but unfortunately this is the last time we would see this roster because it has been confirmed just recently that Zeus is not signing with SK Telecom again, and the replacement of Zeus will be Doran. We'll see how they perform next year and in the future, I'm sure many people are also excited and anticipating what T1 will bring again next year so let's keep our eyes peeled
i would suggest watch the opening ceremonys and the big cinematics too and if you want to get into the win of t1 2023 YOU NEED TO Watch ROSE Together documentary
Something the video doesn't mention(probably because it kinda puts his teammates in a not-positive light) during his break due to his wrist injury: the other 4 starting players were somehow themselves playing worse individually while he was gone. It's inexplicable. Imagine if people in sports just run slower or can't toss a ball further just cause a player is different. Also as some people mentioned: Faker won a 5th world championship title this year, with his team being the first to do back to back wins with the exact same lineup. Faker himself became the first player ever to win more than one finals mvp award now.
Can u also react to dota2 True Sight: The International 2018 Finals and 2019 Finals please. You won't be disappointed. Dota2 has the largest price pool in all of esports history (40M).
Dude... I played high ranked COD and Battlefield with a clan and we had some players when playing on random servers that if we saw their names it went from casual to sitting straight up in the chair and focus in a second.... If I were to play League at high level and ever see Faker pop up I would just logg off and say my power went out in order to save myself....
It's now 5 world championships. They recently won and was held just this month
dont forget only player with 2 worlds MVPS
Faker is just L E G E N D A R Y. 5 World Championship it's complete non-sense really 😅
Among 14times worlds, participated 9times out of 12times(started his career from season3), advanced to the final 7times , won worlds 5times. What a crazy he is.
Get this man 2000 likes. He also won his 5th Worlds Championship and another Finals MVP this year
Zeus got Finals MVP I think
@@Phenom_Pat Zeus got it in 2023, Faker got it this year
@@Phenom_Pat no it was Faker he went hard in the final matches
@@Phenom_Pat that was last year
@@Phenom_Pat No Faker won - I am like 99.999% sure. I only know because he only had one Finals MVP before and they mentioned it. There is no way he does not win finals MVP with game 54 and game 5 performance. The second closest to MVP would probably be Guma

Here are what the main leagues are.
- LCK = Korean League
- LPL = Chinese League
- LCS = North American League (USA/Canada)*
- LEC = European League
*Starting 2025, the LCS is being rebranded to the LTA and will include all of both North and South Americas.
In a typical year, there are 4 main tournaments.
- Spring Split (regional)
- Mid-Season Invitational (international) also known as MSI
- Summer Split (regional)
- World Championship, also known as Worlds
The Golden Road is achieved when a team wins both Spring and Summer in their region, as well as both international tournaments. So far, no one has accomplished this, though some teams have come close.
Addendum: LCS is turning into LTA, which will now include also bring in South and Central America
Yeah he’s a 5 time world champ now, my 🐐.

Yes Faker won his 5th Worlds Championship this year and also Final MVP for 2024. Great reactions as always dont apologize for the pause. u have to watch The Numbers: Faker next!
I think its right to react at "The Numbers:Faker" next, His stats are INSANE and worth checking!
they are already super outdated now tho, except for the 100% winrate against the LPL at BO5s at worlds of course xD
@emilieanneverhaegen for a guy like neel, new to faker seeing him react to his stats will be great still!
Great reaction, you said you were someone that tends to get "overly invested" in the things you watch, but I think that's a super valuable quality to have as a reactor. Love you!
Ahh yes the GOAT🤫
And there are 169 champions as of now
8:43 And he played half of them
16:30 funny is when they mentioned his downfall began he still made it to the world final game and became semi finalist.
So being the best player of the worlds second best team is called his downfall.
That’s how high his stakes are
Heavy is the crown indeed.

4:40 no dude you're totally right. Faker is adorable.
44:50 this part allways gives me Goosebumps, him walking by his shirts and trophies with the music and the annoucer clips is just perfect.
45:26 Oh yes he did. 5 Worlds trophies for the Brocoli Man.
1:36 this is the guy you don't want to see in mid lane
this is the guy you don't want to play against at worlds*
They won this year as well and not just that they won, they were with their backs against the wall the opponent had the upper hand and two games in a row faker single handedly turns the match in their favor with absolute insane plays.
Absolute recommended to watch Game 4 and 5 of 2024 Worlds Final.
I was rooting for blg but I have to admit Faker is the GOAT and T1 deserved the win
Yes opening ceremonies too! they're pretty cool as well.
And yeah Faker and T1 won this year's Worlds as well, making this his 5th worlds win.
The GOAT.
The best player comes every year but the greatest playmaker and most consistent one is Faker no doubt
Do the opening ceremony as well if you can, it was very good this year
bro whattt i used to binge your fairy tail reactions a couple years back. i was nawt expecting this crossover lol.
10:54 - that's an old Urgot (before getting rework), his R backthen was switching his place with the enemy (faker in the vid) and faker's champs has the Q to dash that almost look like he is teleporting
26:15
Dragons and other monsters are around the map. There are a few important ones- dragons and the Baron Nashor. They both give effects to the entire team and can be the difference between winning and losing sometimes. They're called 'objectives' and there's a role called "the Jungler" whose main job is to get them.
I want to expand a bit on the creativity angle.
When you play a pick nobody else play, they have 0 experience against it. A large part of League is knowledge based. It's the first thing I learned when I watched somebody commentate their play. They knew when they had enough damage for a kill for example and when to back off. Decision making basically. He won his fifth and his best plays were yes, skillful. But more importantly he's seen as a God for his decisions. It's something many COULD do but likely wouldn't. He saved his team several times in the finals with these decisions winning his 5th worlds.
So on this champion nobody else plays you gain experience vs the usual champions. The ones everyone else plays. You know how to play against them.
But they don't know how to play against you. They don't know your damage, survivability, etc.
Of course this is balanced by something being meta/normal for a good reason. So execution is everything because usually this creative pick will have much less room for error.
As Faker himself said here, initially he could get away with these non-meta pics because of the gulf in pure skill.
But like in most e-sports that skill gap shrank. Faker no longer could just do "whatever".
Today calling him the best player in the world comes with some caveats.
He's clutch as hell. Stupidly so.
He's a teamleader. Likely the best there is.
But in terms of pure early game he's expected to lose to several people these days.
Simply doing this for 11 years now and still being here at all is incredible.
Winning world 11 years later is just incredible.
You could also ask google to get your answers :)
Bong Joon-ho = movie producer from south korea, that even won the oscars
Kim Yuna = Ice skate dancer, who won the 2010 olympic gold medal
Son Heung-min = footballer from south korea, played in Bundesliga and Premier League, I think they won the gold medal at asian games, but thats up to you to google :)
Btw he just won his 5th worlds title a month ago, with probably some of the impressive and iconic clutch moments.
Tbh next to watch would be T1 vs BLG worlds 2024 finals teaser :D or T1 worlds 2024 montage :D
would also recommend watching some highlights of this years finals.
45:28 he did, a bit more than 2 weeks ago,👑🐐
@45:42 that's his signature pose plus the shush one.😊
Son Heung-min - footballer, play for Tottenham Hotspur, won ASIAD 18
BTS - Boyband, the most famous one, some MV reach 1 billion view
Bong Joon-ho - Well, you know Parasite 2019? Yeah he direct that
Faker - 5th Worlds in London BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
37:56 those are called Hanoks (korean traditional buildings/houses).
Whats so insane about the comeback 2023 is, that T1 was essentially the same team minus Faker for the 31 Day loosing streak and even when Faker came back to continue playing it was obvious his injury was handicapping him. Still just his presence there and his shotcalling an game knowledge was enough to transform the perma loosing last place into the world champions
He just won the championship this year too!
5:26 You probably wont understand this clip fully unless you start playing the game, but I'll try to explain in a nutshell what happened here. I'm not doubting your ability to understand this, I just remember myself seeing League clips for the first time xD
In this era of League of Legends, mirror matchups (one player from each team playing the same character) were possible, and this is a Zed mirror matchup, meaning both Faker and Ryu are playing Zed.
(Most) champions in League have 4 abilities: Q, W, E, and R, R being the ultimate ability with a higher cooldown (it takes longer for you to be able to use it again).
Zed's Q throws a shuriken in a straight line.
His W throws a "Living Shadow" in a straight line, which stays there for a few seconds. The shadows replicate Zed's damaging abilities, so his Q and E. If you throw a Q (a shuriken), the shadow throws one as well. Zed can press W again to switch places with the shadow.
His E slashes around him, dealing damage. If you have a shadow somewhere, the shadow slashes around itself as well.
His R (ultimate) teleports him to the target, leaving a shadow where he used his ultimate from. When he arrives at the target, he has a few seconds to damage the target. When the "few seconds" are over, the ultimate explodes, damaging the target based on the damage Zed dealt to them in those "few seconds". Zed can press R again to switch places with the shadow left behind where he used his ultimate from.
So Zed can have 2 shadows and himself to deal damage with his Q and E abilities, meaning that he can throw 3 shurikens at once, and he can cover a larger area with his slash. He can also teleport twice during a fight, once to his W shadow, and once to his R shadow.
Faker's play in this clip is a very advanced and clever use of Zed's shadows, especially for its time. Nowadays, probably a Gold or Platinum rank Zed main player could replicate this play's mechanics. But back then literally no one had mechanical skills like Faker. The fact that he started the fight on 25% HP vs Ryu's 100% HP is the cherry on top.
If this wasn't clear enough, but you want to learn more, I recommend looking at Zed's abilities one by one on the official League of Legends website.
10:50 And uhhh, he pressed Q...xD
That's Master Yi's Q ability, Alpha Strike. He clicks on a target, disappears until he slashes 4 times, and appears at the target. It sounds a lot more complicated than it actually is xD Master Yi is actually one of the easier champions in the game.
11:53 Back then it probably wasn't normal for video games, other then Counter Strike Global Offensive (CSGO) and League of Legends, and maybe Evo, a large scale eSports event for fighting games (Mortal Kombat, Tekken, etc). Nowadays eSports events can fill very big stadiums.
Cinematics are the best thing out there from league no doubt !!
Basically, LOL is 5v5 arena BUT there is few things : 3 LANES : Top (tank champ),Mid (Faker plays it, its magical damage) ) and BOT (ADC physical damage) with his support (heal him and protect him) and JUNGLE (where someone is roaming killing camps for gaining exp and gold , the 2 big ones are Drake And NASHOR they are PVE
The little thing moving by themself are "creep", when you kill it it gives you exp and GOLD and with this gold you can manage to buy item to be stronger and stronger
He has won the first ever eSports World Cup and another Worlds Championship since the making of that video btw
currently there is 169 champions in league of legends during release there was 40
This accolade, Hall of Legends was made before Worlds 2024 (happens yearly between October-November), in the middle of the year, so the Worlds wins are at 4.
They just won the 5th (only team to have 5 Worlds, back to back from Worlds 23 with the same roster, remember as well that they made finals in Worlds 22, so only team 2 get 3 consecutive finals apprarances..and the only team to get back to back TWICE before any other team in the whole world of LOL to get 2 championships) last Nov 2, and Faker got his 2nd Finals MVP (only person as well).
A lot of people said he should not have been the first to be inducted since he is still actively playing- but nobody comes close to his stats and wins.
neel really going deep into league
We're in the timeline where more people are digging deep in LoL, thanks to Arcane
@@sorianojoshuaczar9854 yeah and im all for it
I hope you'll watch the LoL cinematics at some point. The worlds songs are basically movies, and that trend is also in the cinematics
This video legacy for his induction to the hall of legend was made before his 5th Worlds trophy. The greatest esport athlete to touch the keyboard and mouse.
Gotta check out the Worlds playoff teasers from 2023 and 2024
on 2nd of November he became World Champion 5th time - second time in a row, third time in a row in a final.
Also League is probably the game with the highest skill celling and it hasnt even been reached yet by anyone, not even Faker reached the full potential of the game. Everyday something new comes that people find out they can do.
22:30 kkoma was fakers former coach but he left when a lot of people left t1 and then when faker was defeated It wqs by the new team kkoma coached that’s why faker came up to him and said good job sinercily
You should also watch the other videos that got released next to the documentary like "The Numbers" and "The Plays". Also T1 and Faker ran it back this year and won again with the same 5 team members meaning Faker is now a 5 time world champion and he got MVP this tournament so he is the only player with two MVP titles at worlds.
"the plays" is not that good. Faker had way better plays then this velkoz clip
24:20 His old team didn't come back. Instead a new generation of monsters came to play with him.
Before, we had Faker and his teammates. You could focus on taking him down and the rest would follow.
Now, we have 5 good players in one team. Each game, one of them would step up and bring a performance that's worthy of hayday Faker. Until eventually, we ended up with 5 Fakers in 1 team.
I shit you not, Keria their Support, a role that is low impact in a the game was considered the best player in the world. That's like a goal keeper in football getting best player. That's how much of a monster Keria became.
He had to deal with poor teammates, teammates that couldn't click together and bad coaching staff for years, so I couldn't dream of a better reward for his resilience all these years.
You really gotta watch all opening ceremonies for worlds, there's a ton more people to see lol and the ceremonies are crazy high budget
there is similar anime to Faker. Its called Kings Avatar
There are a few other interviews related to the hall of legends and faker u should watch. Its about his stats, quotes, records, trophies. all the juicy stuff
Yes this years worlds already happened and T1 won! Incredible achievement as that T1 roster made it to the worlds finals 3 years in a row (2022-2024) and won the in 23 and 24 making them consecutive world champions which is unprecedented in the scene!
Faker's team won another championship. He just made some of his greatest plays ever. Watch that!
I think a new video that just came out called "League of Legends For People Who Will Never Play It" will be a very good watch if you're interested in knowing more about how the game works! As a league player, I watched that video and I'd recommend it 10/10.
My professional LOL career for 4 years gave me Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
FUN FACT: On the skin they gave Zed, they put a reference to that play he did with the champion.
The voice lines goes like "Look at the skills, look at the moves, ZED what was that?"
Faker and his team T1 originally known as SKT T1 won the world championship 2024 and Faker currently have 5 World Championship Titles to his name.
I recommend watch best memories and moments from every year (2016-2024)
2022 the best
Faker is absolute Legend, even if you don't play League even if you are not into ESports, FAKER is one name you should be familiar with or else you are living under a rock.
He's the undisputed GOAT in entirety of ESports.
Another day of Still waiting classroom of elite s3 or continue 86?
25:49 "Coming from the guy." I think you mean here is "The GOAT"
You should watch the finals teasers and semi finals teasers RIOT does goated trailers for those ones. 2023 and 2024 semi final and finals teasers. Watch the opening ceremonies all of them are goated. RIOT also cooks at their music production
Watch the OPENING CEREMONIES for each year of league they are simply amazing. Faker won worlds 2024 too his 5th world championship
10:40 that master yi pick is partially responsible for why i mained that character when i started playing league.
litteraly all of us mained yi because of this pick when we all started league. nobody can tell me he didnt
He won worlds this year too so now hes a 5 time world champion. Noone is close to this accievement
21:30 KDA means kill death assist
And you calculate it like this kills + assists / deaths = x
In chovys case X was 150
You should watch the new champion ship win would be fun to watch you try and figure out whats happening
Faker is the legend that carved its name in the history of League of Legends that many have admire even up to this point and for those who supported him his downfall is also ours to bear specially when he lost for the first time
"or those who supported him his downfall is also ours to bear." but for this we got a worlds title more then IWD and this was worth it
@Dermi_Sky Definitely worth it
Yea you should check out the cinematics stuffs. It's goood
faker won his 5th worlds trophy and second finals mvp earlier this month
I love stories like this about e sports/sports player and thier anime like journey. There is also like that story on dota2 if you are interested. Underdog story of OG in TI8 or true sight. 😊
the 6th one is for Doran
The little 'bots' that don't have names above them are called 'minions' and the players can kill them for experience to level up and gold for items to give you an advantage. When you hear "CS" it means how many minions you've killed.
You should react to lore videos for 2023 and 2024 semi final and final
Yes they competed in worlds this year and they won as well. They won 3-2 with the same roster as 2023, but unfortunately this is the last time we would see this roster because it has been confirmed just recently that Zeus is not signing with SK Telecom again, and the replacement of Zeus will be Doran. We'll see how they perform next year and in the future, I'm sure many people are also excited and anticipating what T1 will bring again next year so let's keep our eyes peeled
You should watch the "numbers faker " too see how good this dude is
After losing 2022's World Championship, Faker won 2 in a row. He is now a 5-time World Champion. 🔥
You gotta watch the worlds ceremony opening
i would suggest watch the opening ceremonys and the big cinematics too and if you want to get into the win of t1 2023 YOU NEED TO Watch ROSE Together documentary
Something the video doesn't mention(probably because it kinda puts his teammates in a not-positive light) during his break due to his wrist injury: the other 4 starting players were somehow themselves playing worse individually while he was gone. It's inexplicable. Imagine if people in sports just run slower or can't toss a ball further just cause a player is different.
Also as some people mentioned: Faker won a 5th world championship title this year, with his team being the first to do back to back wins with the exact same lineup. Faker himself became the first player ever to win more than one finals mvp award now.
You've got to watch the Rebull Movie of their win in 2023
Can u also react to dota2 True Sight: The International 2018 Finals and 2019 Finals please. You won't be disappointed. Dota2 has the largest price pool in all of esports history (40M).
need to watch the red bull documentary on T1 winning in 2023
Dude... I played high ranked COD and Battlefield with a clan and we had some players when playing on random servers that if we saw their names it went from casual to sitting straight up in the chair and focus in a second....
If I were to play League at high level and ever see Faker pop up I would just logg off and say my power went out in order to save myself....
btw league has around 160 different playable characters aka champions right now.
and the add like 4 new champions every year.
12:22 those are called minions..yes, bots feom each team that spawn. They can do damage to champions plus structures in the map for the opposing team.
He is now 5th times world champion, with is win this year.
