Because Faker is a robot.

[@teddanville6996]

@@marusis4453 not really, it's because Korean media is extremely punishing, so Faker has to learn how to do interviews in the most careful manner. Remember that one time Faker was complaining about being DDOS making T1 struggle to perform? The media instantly jump in and said "Faker blame T1's failure due to DDOS instead of admitting HLE is strong / T1 play poorly". Faker then has to write an apology letter. This is the most pathetic thing the media can do but they do it regularly, and too bad even a powerful figure like Faker is not immune to it.

One of the first books i ever read for pure enjoyment was "Musashi" by Eiji Yoshikawa , gotta say i started reading it only because it was the biggest book they had in my school library (1000 pages almost) but what started as a challange ended in me loving the story.

[@xSmRtness]

Real talk though, In the string of constant interviews that Faker does at international events, an interview like this probably lets him have a bit of a break from the high strung competitive environment.

[@skrattaoppar9753]

The only time I see Faker's hair is different was when he ate Brocolli at 2015 Worlds

[@johnmarkcadaingan5773]

He is the GOAT period. Reason why i said this is because he can make other players around him to perform well, his leadership is far beyond others. When he hurt his hand T1 was 1-7 lol and when he came back that shit changes and even won worlds. Sure he may not be on his prime anymore but the way he brings his team to a new whole level is a definition of him being the greatest to ever play this game. End of discussion non of these existence players have come close to faker. 😊

[@abirmahmud2242]

no he's the goat because his length of being at the peak is unmatched, leadership does not matter, peak faker dragged his garbage teammates single handedly to get 3 worlds titles

[@naidren]

I feel for him, game and being the GOAT for so long he have other interviews in line (and it's not his fav think to do), sponsors things, fans things, other things... yeah he get paid for all that but we know that all he ever wanted since being kid was just - be the best in this game. Everything else he is doing just for us - fans. Then they put next to him some SHACOS and he have to tolerate it all.

If you didn't like the alchemist by Paulo Coelho, try reading Veronika Decides to Die instead by him. It has to be my favorite book of all time. It has a lot of emotions and really teaches how much the people encompassing you can change by your own actions/words. It def has a couple sus moments but the message of the book is amazing.

3:40 not sure how dom doesn’t understand this concept. Chovy vs faker is like Tom Brady with the Bucs vs mahomes with the chiefs. “Objectively mahomes better” but who has more sb rings. Objectively plenty of players better than MJ or Lebron but who’s the goat? It’s the the length of time the amount of mvps and world championships and the overall “clutch” factor and how you raise your team to another level. Chovy went to silver scrapes against flyquest lol how can he even be in the conversation vs faker 😂 just bc he afk hits 11 cs a minute. How many worlds does Chovy have again…?

[@antekarendacz2693]

[@tinecchi3648]

Better player definently not. Better competitive teammate for sure tho. Chovy is still learning what faker already mastered. But we can’t give faker the edge on things that are not true. Better league of legends player then chovy is a straight up lie 😅

@@laterbober4388 chovy probably is the best laner in mid, this gives them faster tempo to move and take objectives, his positioning is really good in teamfights t1 is a dynamic team who tries out different win conditions every match, this means their mistakes can cost them when they try out a narrow win condition tactic, their drafting in splits is also sus compared to worlds

[@kiniro8553]

stop you make us look bad

[@Xabeutt]

one of the reasons why faker is goat, aside from his talent and achivements, is because noone ever came close to his success combined with his longevity. you have players like deft who have been playing for as long as faker, who has been successful but not in the same manner as faker. deft won 1 worlds, 1 msi, 2 lcks and 2 lpls, where as faker has won 4 worlds, 2 msi and 10 times lck. these numbers just dont add up and they make faker stand in the league of his own. in european football you have a never ending debate of who the real goat is, messi or ronaldo, because they both had inhuman abilities, achivements, etc. they both stood so tall above all else, but they went toe to toe in their carrers, so calling one player goat over the other would be deminishing his achivements. when it comes to league, there is only one player in the entires game history that stands so increadibly high above all else. in season 4 people thought pawn was better than faker, because they both had 1 world title, and faker hasnt even qualified for season 4 worlds. in season 5 msi, pawn won against skt in the finals, so at that point pawn was more successful internationally than faker, up until worlds that year. after 2015 msi win, pawn hasnt achived anything. fast forward to season 7 when samsung overthrows skt - their roster after winning worlds have rebranded, and geng in 2018 has been a mid tier team. crown went to na and we never heard of him again. similar story with fpx, one season wonder then u have damwon that were kings for 1,5 year - they fell off as quickly as they risen to greatness. edg and drx same story as fpx in 10 years we had 1 season wonder teams that couldnt replicate their success in later seasons. the only player that has potential to even sniff fakers legacy is chovy, because he is extremely talented as a player, and he has been successful with geng, even winning msi this year. if he can break his curse or whatever u wanna call it, that blocks him from not even winning worlds, but reaching finals, and he can start winning them every year, then after 10 years league can finally have someone coming close to fakers success

[@shedblood1645]

Until faker retires you’re completely correct. He is and will always be “the best player of all time” We will never say someone else is better until he is gone.

I woudnt say faker is MUCH worse then other mids theese days, id still claim he is skill wise around top 3-4 in the world and with his experience / game sense counted in id say 2nd best after Chovy nowdays.

[@anon_148]

Caps clears him every time

[@Slashresto]

@@anon_148 You have to get a realitycheck man, if u think Caps is better then Faker in CURRENT state then u clearly havent watched a single game with G2 since MSI. Faker is currently right now 2nd or 3rd best in the world after Chovy and MAYBE knight. The only reason Faker has looked bad this year is because none of the champs in the old meta was anything faker has ever played in his career. Faker has preformed very good in worlds anything else is just stupid to say. Was he bad prior to worlds? Oh hell ye he was ass.
