    During Faker's absolute prime the only player i saw he really struggled with is Pawn.

    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”

    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.

    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.

  • @Linkingx2
    @Linkingx2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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

    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.

  • @nightslayer5066
    @nightslayer5066 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

      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.
