ICONIC Esports Moments: Faker vs. Ryu - SKT T1 K vs. KT B, HOT6iX 2013 Summer Finals (LoL)

[@milendragomirov6499]

Staffito I'be seen even crazier Zed 1v1s in the time

[@habbito21]

But, still, some of them get repeated. Or even not in a match of this size. Still, is easily the best 1v1 in the competitive scene for a lot of reasons; and launch Faker to sucess.

[@CorRoh777]

this play got me to play league of legends

[@bradbooker8318]

Too bad you can't pick the same champ anymore. And QQS doesn't stop Zeds ultimate anymore. So yeah you can't repeat this. XD

[@habbito21]

I know. Those game-5s in Korea were so amazing!

[@casefarley5744]

Everything about this is iconic: the outplay, the look on Ryu's face, Doa's call of the action, and the SKT victory. We might see a better play, but nothing will top all those things combined.

[@NiggazHomie]

Case Farley and SKT went to Worlds and won the title.

[@valeriavictrix5615]

Very true, about that Doa's call of the action, now even if you google 'Look at the move, look at the play, what was that' would still bring this play as the first search result. Very epic and hype to accompany such a legendary play.

[@markwalker209]

And faker getting executed on the minions 20 seconds later makes this play more iconic.

[@ryantan04]

This may be a late comment, but fun fact. The same dialogue was actually exchanged between Ryu and inSec, KT Bullets' Top. InSec did ask Ryu if he wanted help (possibly a Stand United on Ryu) to kill off Faker, but Ryu told inSec to watch him outplay Faker under the KT Bullets' own turret. We all know what happened next.

[@Bludgeoned2DEATH2]

Man I remember watching that play live back in the day. Ryu was a well established name in the mid lane and Faker was just a kid. I woke up early that day to watch the OGN finals and it was super hype. Also it wasn't an LCK title back in 2013, it was an OGN championship SKT won. RIP Monte and DoA, best casters ever

When my friend showed me this in my beginning days of League, my face was priceless. I had to rewind like 10 times just to see what happened. My mind couldn't comprehend everything out the outplay it was so good.

Wonder why Ryu transferred to NA.

money, prob

100% money

[@fastballfilms4214]

and he was in EU before Na....

[@Luminous13]

meh don't be daydreaming . Ryu just isn't good enough to compete in korea . No offense to him but he wasnt considered a great mid laner even on Eu/Na

[@froilanjosephpaz4941]

Lol true pro players don't play in different regions to prove themselves...it is because of money. Lol and since maybe Ryu didn't care of Korea at all and just bored.

[@Adauchii]

This outplay was the main reason why Riot nerfed QSS ability to cleanse ults damage.

[@timmychu5901]

they nerfed qss like s5 though

[@areox4520]

what, 2/3 years later?

[@Skycrowliu]

yes

[@mohammadbilal4860]

Paolo Gorritti They should actually bring back the ability to nullify Zed's ult by QSS. It will at least be that one thing that can save your life as an ADC when a Zed is constantly trying to kill your ass... Yes, all of you may whine about good positioning and everything but guess what? Not all of the millions of players are in the LCS... and not just that... Zed has way too many gap closers from his 'Living Shadow' ability. And if your teammates simply don't know how to peel, then you're just dead if a Zed ults you... I know that simply bringing back the old QSS is not the correct option as it could nullify almost any ult and even negate any damage from Ignite. They won't bring back the old QSS. But they could easily change Zed's ult in such a way that it's considered as some form of cc. Like they could make champions with 'Death Mark' slowed or something. Maybe then it'll be considered as a cc ability. So QSS must easily be able to remove Zed ult... I hope they do this.... but it's highly unlikely that it will ever happen...

[@TheMannhead]

Mohammad Bilal zed is bad at the current meta. They even buffed zed. Peel supports shit on zed. When you add cc on zed ultimate it would be just a rly huge buff to zed bc if u cleanse it only the cc will be removed not dmg. Example Fizz ultimate. Talon Lb and kassa are just better than zed atm. This change would make no sense

[@krissvector1609]

This outplay is the best outplay in LoL history by far. You can see Faker's mind how machenism well. He Is the Devıl.

[@Jason-yd5du]

They messed up in the analysis. 3:45 Ryu didn't misplace his w shadow. Pre rework zed ult used to leave a shadow behind the opponent, not where you ulted from And the fact that he literally just used it to do the weq combo and they missed that is astounding

[@daisysolica2193]

[@ascent1243]

These are the kind of moments which hurt the most. When there was almost nothing u could have done unless u knew exactly what faker planned.

[@michaelkawamura9296]

First off, Zed ult does not mitigate DOT that has already been applied. Second off, @4:21, the w does NOT cancel the auto. The auto goes off; however, the reason why Ryu's passive doesn't proc is because it's used earlier as he autos after the BORK active.

[@dragoonism]

This play is amazing...but it wouldnt have been amazing without Ryu. He was just one step behind the god that is Faker.

[@abbpinoy]

A.K.A Ryu's most embarrassing moment in esports.

[@Frabjous1]

While it's probably pretty embarrassing for him, it's not like anybody lost respect for him for it. He didn't do anything outstandingly stupid, and it was against Faker after all. I'm sure he looks back on it more as a moment when he realised the bar was set higher than an embarrassing moment.

[@abbpinoy]

I agree, but from a evaluating standpoint he had the upper hand and the advantageous position, disregarding the micro and apm difference. I say it's his most embarrassing moment because of it being regarded as the "Best Outplay in LOL History" and the emphasis the video puts on Ryu's reaction.

[@derbestenoob546]

Sweet Rice well faker had quite an Item advantage tbh :^

[@-Xenovia]

@@derbestenoob546 Well ryu had a huge health advantage.

[@DodderingOldMan]

Ah, awesome. Are there more videos like this, that go through plays basically frame by frame? I'm too much of a noob, and too much of a doddering old man, to understand what's going on otherwise.

[@TheAliceQuo]

I don't think even Ryu knew what happened there without watching Fram by frame and he was the best zed in the world at the time of this happening.

[@rwa2play]

That's just a moment of sheer brilliance where, even if your knowledge of the game is on point, your jaw drops at the sight of it.

[@davidfootballfield4204]

at 3:47 the analyst was wrong. That shadow behind faker was not casted by RYU's W. Instead, it was a shadow created from RYU's ultimate. It was already shown at 2:16 that RYU had already used his W shadow to get close to faker. I hope this comment helps whoever who was in the same doubt.

[@aryakadarkar432]

one of the best outplays in gaming history

[@KevinSongEdie]

Zed had really low cd's at the time and his W cd was reduced even further by every E hit on a champion - the ultimate also dropped a shadow behind your target at the time and not a shadow from where you cast the ultimate - meaning, this play is no longer possible, and that's what makes it so spectacular.

[@NiggazHomie]

Kevin Song yeah because qss doesn't cleanse the zed ulti anymore.

[@jojo97410]

The one who analyse that doesn’t know how the QSS works, the qss didn’t removed the Deathmark at all, you can see during the slow motion that the death mark is still here and the damage from it are still present , so neither the damage and the death mark got removed from the qss since Zed Ultimate is not considered as a Crown Crontol at that moment

[@justincosingan9159]

Note that Faker's w didn't cancel Ryu's auto attack, it was still on animation, because if you notice his hp he had 4 bars left and the zed passive only took 1 bar.

[@zer0467]

Just saying, you cant cancel an Auto attack with flash or zed e. First aa cancel was from Ryu as He q'd before the aa Hit. Second one wasn't a aa cancel. If you Look closely you will See that faker got damage after He used e

[@tkodemolisher]

It’s possible for the player to cancel the auto. Yes if u click on a unit the auto will hit no matter what because it’s an auto. However, it’s possible that ryu was clicking on faker and may have canceled his own auto when faker flashed, leaving ryu to click the ground. Yeah the q might have cancelled the animation, but it’s just a suggestion

[@TheRealMadbeatle]

you can't now certainly, but back in the day?

[@dahrellbautista1024]

Every now and then I always comeback to watch this video

[@davidxing5555]

A few things this coach said was wrong, the shadow from Ryu was not his W but his R, Ryu used W to gap close and slow faker at the beginning already. Also flash and W cannot cancel autos, Ryu died from faker's E, E animation is a lot faster than auto attack.

[@Pandapls]

FAKER WHAT WAS THAT

[@Blcokhead753]

People say if Ryu didn't swap to his R's shadow he could've won the duel. But watching it back, if Ryu didn't swap, he would've taken 2 shurikens to the face and died when death mark activated. Although he probably would've landed an extra auto attack, look at Faker's health bar. Around 3 bars of hp (300hp). Ryu only has 249AD making it impossible to kill Faker with one auto attack
