The Greatest Faker Performance You've Never Heard Of

Easyhoon played and won a solo queue game during game 3 after he was subbed out against OG during the semis

This is why I think Gbay was wrong to say Marin carried alone when Faker was able to shine on a juggernaut meta

[@juandavidmondragon7573]

Respect for watching such a goated documentary

[@skrattaoppar9753]

@juandavidmondragon7573 I know Marin tilts a lot but the only reason he didn't drop performance after losing MSI is cuz Bengi and Wolf are solid voices and they have a mutual respect to make Marin calm and let him play at his best. That is what's been missing throughout Marin after SKT, I feel like no one was able to shot call him as well as Wolf and Bengi did. Marin definitely deserves that MVP but SKT being dominant in 2015 Worlds was a whole ass team effort

[@Hawktuaaaaaah]

True, how the fk FAKER get carried on his prime HAHAHA weird 😂

[@gyeongchankim5423]

No one single handedly carries teams like 2015 skt. Everyone in that team was best in the world for their lane.

​@@gideonarguelles3016I only knew of it when I saw a video of Travis asking players if they know when, who, and what champion won a Worlds skin. They showed Azir, which some people don't know, ISN'T Faker's Worlds skin. It's Ryze.

I would absolutely love a video on Faker’s Galio from 2017. One of the other greatest Faker performances of all time.

[@NightLife360]

It pissed me off that he didnt play galio in the finals, wtf was that karma mid pick 😢

[@kazunarifujiwara9599]

@@NightLife360 I think they drafted a tank bot to heavily punish the lulu so he was put on karma duty because ardent was super op. Like holy fck, watch how varus had a shield more than his entire hp from lulu. That was stupid as hell. Not to mention that ardent gives you flat hp whenever you auto so basically free lifesteal.

[@willho4202]

@@NightLife360 Problem was Ruler and CoreJJ were just miles better than Bang and Wolf, who had been struggling all tournament, and that gulf was being exasperated by the ardent meta. SKT knew they had to pick something pretty cheesy botlane to have a chance at overcoming them and so they needed the ardent somewhere else

[@DarthHawke]

Man, Easyhoon is often cast in Faker's shadow because of 2015 but like Pastry said, he really was good player. I didn't realized he had a 78% winrate. It's a shame he didn't stick around in the LCK after Worlds 2015. I really think he could've had a better career if he did

[@khaosff6514]

I believe that is a bad idea have 2 excellent players alternating in the team. One will blur the existence of the other, and this is why Easyhoon was seen like a shadow of Faker. If it was in another team, it will shine for yourself. There's no need of revenge, because Easy accepted the position it was received.

[@liz7]

[@Flowers_Die]

That makes the roll onto the stage mean so much more... He was being challenged for a starting position on HIS team. He rolled onto the stage in excitement that he broke through the challenges.

[@kevingbergiste7372]

Perfectly timed video release btw. A day later, Faker wins his 5th worlds and against BLG coached by easyhoon, making his second back to back Win, 5/7 worlds finals, won 2016 mvp and also 8 years later today 2024. Faker: “I forgot I won mvp in 2016.” What a flex

[@gabsterrivera5674]

According to Jeesun, it more of "I honestly don't rekember that I had MVP, but that was not my focus to do"

[@zym6687]

@@gabsterrivera5674 That's why he's the GOAT

[@ellentheeducator]

I argue a lot of why Ryze was his champ is that he loves to take the bold risks. He will move in when others retreat, and he will dare his enemies to prove that they can match his hands. Ryze relies on being in the right place so that he can simply walk up and be better, and that is the heart of Faker. "Prove it"

[@Wishlah]

100%

[@NezumiGG]

Not the heart of this video, but 2015 MSI Semis SKT vs FNC is the one series I ever went in person because it was in my home state and I somehow managed to convince my mom to take me. She and my sister tagged along and I remember them both having no idea how League worked in the slightest but still rooting for the teams and being invested by the end of the series. Also, since I was a diehard NA fan I cheered for SKT solely because I didn't want EU to win and from then on cheering for SKT sorta became second nature!

[@NostalgicDuelist]

Quality league content. Thanks!

[@ChonkyBoi_yt]

I dont think Faker played Ryze because of ezhoon, I think Faker is the only pro that year that discovered that Ryze is still strong despite the nerfs if he mastered him and he did. That's why he was able to play it and others didn't ban or take it because they all thought Ryze is already weak due to the previous patches. This is why Faker prime is so legendary because he don't just follow what's meta, he makes the Meta like when everyone played Zed, he pull's off Riven

[@aethproxima421]

I remember watching his Ryze in this time and I was thinking, this man's Ryze is like a machine gun. If you get caught in his root, you'll know your screen will turn grey.

[@siul1678]

Soooo, we're getting a part 2 now right?

[@nigamnation]

ryze was extremely contested after this worlds, so while faker was definitely the best, the champion was definitely underrated and people overreacted to the nerfs and probably didn't try it in mid, which is a much safer lane than top (where he was normally played for most of the year)

[@aaawa2074]

[@cyruss9455]

Ryze 2015 is My Favorite Broken Champion and Make me Unstoppable in Solo Queue with these Combos. BEST DAYS 😅

[@sangpenikam7]

I remember even before this particular World I've seen somewhere that Ryze is one of his favorite champ and also one of the champ he suggest new player to pick to learn about spell rotation along with Twisted Fate to learn about map awareness. I remember this cuz when he picked Ryze, I told myself "hey, it's his favorite champ! they gonna win this".

[@Nerithielful]

Kkoma played God in the start but after loosing MSI because he refused to use faker for full finals he came back to his senses for summer and worlds ,then for some reason puts easyhoon in finals and they loose 1 game.

[@royfablooo2810]

I've been saying his for a while, I swear SKT T1 Faker Ryze is probably the greatest player we have ever seen.

[@justsomedude759]

The Azir toss on Ruler last year is, in a way, something made by Easyhoon

[@PaxSecuya]

I'm genuinely confused because the video never addressed the title. Where is the "greatest performance" we've "never heard of"? The video's great and I loved it so I'm still leaving a like and I'll watch all future content but having this much of a misleading title is so confusing.

[@vez3834]

I think their idea was that Faker established himself as a complete player that year. He competed against a great specialist for his own spot on the team. Maybe the title is geared towards people who weren't watching back then, or to people who simply look at that worlds as a stomp. There was a reason why it was a stomp.

[@SoloKatOnly]

I think it was also the part where he said that Faker didn't just dominate his lane, he was straight up untouchable on a champion that got nerfed repeatedly and that he was basically the only one that was using him and the "we've never heard of" part I think was that why is Faker the only one using this champion and why is nobody banning it more when everytime Faker uses it, he stomps them.

[@patricktulley8880]

Yeah anyone who has been following Faker since then definitely knows this performance lol. This is one of his most famous ones. Bait title.

[@nathanhosea489]
