- Faker is the undeniable GOAT of League of Legends. Welcome to LoLAthlete, and in today’s video we’ll be exploring who should be considered Faker’s greatest rival, from rookies that still have a chance to usurp him, to veterans who have had their time in the spotlight against Faker
Thank you for watching LoLAthlete! - เกม
During Faker's absolute prime the only player i saw he really struggled with is Pawn.
Your videos deserve way more views!! Informative and entertaining :D
Good videos! Nice to see content like this in the eSports community. Keep up the work!
Thank you!
2023: It’s still Varus and Ruler. It’s still the same but a bit reversed Ultimate Flash Combo. But the table turned upside down this time. Faker really said “You really thought I’m gonna let all of that slide”
you forgot to mention that Pawn has been solo killing Faker the entire series during that 2014 LCK Playoffs series
yup im a big Faker fanboy but man Pawn really gave Faker the business back then at his prime too. That shows everyone has a cryptonite
Def think smeb should be here. He was considered the best top laner for many years and was a staple on rox. Many people considered 2016 rox vs skt semis to be the real finals that year.
The 2016 semi finals were insane! I’ll never forget watching live and seeing the MF support lock in
Given the 2019 history and the sheer grudge that Faker held all the way until 2022, it feels weird to me to not mention Caps
Oh absolutely, I’ll probably make a part 2 to talk about other international rivalries since we couldn’t fit Xiaohu, Scout, or Caps like you said. It’s crazy how many S tier players Faker has bested over time
@@LoLAthlete faker bested caps? Caps on g2 won every best of 5 except 2022. If I remember correctly caps has a positive winrate over faker
@@kilian6939 oh please, Caps lover. If he was the best why isn't his team didn't even qualify for worlds. Pathetic
@@Mr.DISRESPECT never said he's the best. Faker just didn't bested him. And yes g2 didn't qualify for world's with Rekkles but who wonders the team didn't work at all. Even faker wouldn't have saved this G2 because the players where so mismatched
@@Mr.DISRESPECT caps was clearly the better player.
EasyHoon was a beast and was the only sub that ever share the position with faker. but his succes didn´t last too long
The faker/easyhoon combo in season 5 was one of the best 6 man rosters in league history!
I think the thing people dont realise about faker for the past five years is he never plays to carry anymore. He is a facilitator constantly putting himself behind to run the map and get a lead elsewhere. He is no longer the 1v1 zed v zed machine he used to be but instead is the guy that can be out performing the enemy midlaner in ways that stats cant show.
great list but as many point out there are some missing
Smeb, Deft and Easyhoon - but hey in 10 years there are so many faces that come and become fooder for the king that you might not remember all the minions he farmed by name ;)
But overall good video - would work on the player PNGs brother
I am working on a part 2, but at this point might just turn into an “Entire History of Faker” mini doc. Thank you about the note about pngs will definitely look to improve those!
5:25 Actually Uzi played against Faker in 2018 Rift Rival, 2018 Asia Games and 2019 worlds group stage. So 2017 worlds wasn't the last time they played against each other.
Caps for Mid, Xiahou from China, Smeb as the titular Top Killer that can go head to head with Faker, Deft is a different story but he can be considered as a rival, Score as the last of the Old KT Rolster to face Faker in a Telecom War, BDD in 2018.
small correction: at 10:23 , Showmaker won in 2020, and lost to EDG in 2021
Thank you for that. Last few seasons sort of bled together😅
Great video dude. But where is Scout?
True he’s another great contender
when did scout beat faker?
@@AnythingTH-cam. never... he's the head of the " Got WomboComboed by SKT with a 10k lead"
Comparing Dopa and Faker is like comparing dad and mom u just cannot do that both are goats for different reasons
This is a great channel.
Thank you :)
Caps and Smeb saying hi
Where is ambition? It took him years to win against faker
smeb, deft, caps, bdd and xiaohu should be on it
Bro, Faker's rival is obviously Rookie. But if Dopa was allowed to play, that would've been the most insane rivalery.
Well Ambition pretty much shit on Faker
no caps/perkz?
"Even now, showmaker continues to challenge faker" what is he challenging for? 5th place?? Lmao
I see you didn mention Deft-only player that actually beat faker?
There's so many players that I had to leave out. The Deft-Faker rivalry was definitely hyped up at worlds but overall I felt there were better players
@@LoLAthlete better player than GOAT adc? And actually pretty much only player who is 2:0 vs faker in finals? Dont know about that
Deft and Faker 'rivalry' was just for entertainment purposes lol, Deft and Faker have never really been rivals. Deft wasn't even the reason DRX won the finals.
Also not sure wtf you mean with 'only player who is 2:0 vs faker in finals' when there is literally no player that is 2:0 against Faker in finals since the only non-SKT player that even has more than 1 worlds win is Beryl who has only beat him once.
@@azrrrrrrrr aint no way Deft is the goat adc lol i can list many adc better than him in history
@@ChonkyBoi_yt It's hard to dispute Deft as the adc goat, he won, both MSI and World, and have more than 1 win in both LCK and LPL, he's able to match Uzi, another arguably an goat... with all those achievement, that's a very impressive resume right there, BUT someone might argue that Bang has both 2 worlds and msi, and won multiple times in LCK but he flop in NA... I don't know who are those so called adc goats that can match the players I mentions in terms of achievements
Chovy twice in a roll 😎😎😎
Chovy is giving Faker a solid run for his money. Shame Showmaker and Damwon fell off a bit
why not mention (former) TSM The Rain Man
This guy gets it! 💯
faker is the best but pawn will always be my favorite. s4 worlds is peak for me.
2015 MSI febiven 1vs1 faker two times
Bro Damwon won on 2020 not 2021. 2021 is where they lost to EDG.
Oops apologies about that. Those Covid years kind of all blend together
Uzi was the ADC king in China,but Faker is the midking/best player in the world,so.....
Caps and Scout
Scout never played against faker until 2023 worlds...
you forgot tyler1 XD
All I’m saying is I haven’t seen faker reach challenger in all 5 roles
Smeb?
I would personally put Kuro over Smeb since he played vs Faker directly, even back in 2013
you overlooked Yassuo, one of the greatest midlaners to ever grace this planet
“Ayeee solo killed Faker. It’s lit” - Moe
probably caps in 2019 and 2020
Zeka hahaha
Well dopa is the best. Period
What about Caps?
nobody mentions doublelift or is he irrelevant?
Outside of na. He is indeed irrelevant
I think the second best player ever is Deft
The DRX vs T1 world finals was straight out of an anime
Deft isn't even the best at his role all-time
First season watching worlds?
too bad Zeka completely gapped Faker and made him look like a bot
