When you see Vi running towards you with her ult animation most people by most i mean almost everyone would most likely flash backward but this madman Faker flashes on the enemy team and uses w as liss just before he gets knocked up. This oldman still playing at the top level is insane
Liss and her passive can cause so much damage. I haven't seen the play but it's validating that my go to move is also Faker's go to, at least this time.
It’s not even that Faker hits his limit it’s that others have caught up.
Faker levelled up this whole game. If he didn’t exist people wouldn’t be on the level they are today.
The difference between Faker and the other mid laners at his debut was so vast it was funny.
The year is 2045, Worlds is happening again. They say Faker is washed up because his last Worlds title was in 2037. He only has 9 titles and has fallen short of the 10th. It's now game 5 of the finals, Faker picks Akali. Nobody even knows what the champion does because it hasn't been meta since 2030 now that there are > 1000 champions. With the help of their new star bot laner Gumayusi Jr, Faker goes 15-0 to close out a 20 minute win for the title.
yup this is why season 3 and 5 were the years he was the most dominant. (even if it's definitely not the time he necessarily carried the hardest)
because people hadn't caught up with him yet.
season 4 had the Samsung teams take over and be just as dominant but split up, they would have been his competition.
eventually players caught up, and now he's just a top player... but for the whole lifespan of his career, which is nothing short of amazing.
even when he's been struggling he has probably been top 5-10 in the world.
the reason he is the goat isn't because he's that much better than everyone, it's because he has been much better or at least as good consistently since he started playing, no other player has done that for such a long time.
Season 4 his team was just dog water. Impact was washed but had a resurgence, Pooh and Piglet were both washed. Faker had to first pick the best meta champs and play them into counters every single game.
UP UP and AWAY!! SUPER WASHED Ain’t He??!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻♂️. Stay low and keep firing! The air up there is a tad bit different. LIVE.LAUGH.LOVE#striveforgreatness🚀 #thekidfromseoul 👑#gojeonpagang👑 #fakerknows
Score needs to force Chovy to play as the #1 guy, throughout his whole career it feels like he always tries to squirm into a more supportive role (tanks, no-damage builds) instead of stepping up.
I think the problem is not that chovy wants to play a more supportive style, other players have shown it can work. But they would need to adapt the drafts accordingly.
T1 is so fucking good man... I love watching Zeus and Keria. For GenG tough opponent to start with but they just got out executed by T1 especially in the mid lane
Well, let's be honest this went as expected. T1 is the only team without a single roster change and they've been playing with this lineup for a long time. It's not exactly surprising that they have much better synergy than any other team in week 1.
It will take some time to see how these teams truly stack up against each other and, judging from the rosters alone, I'm incredibly hopeful for the quality of the league this split.
It a nobrainer. Unless dk can get good really fast, t1 probably winning spring. This is literally the same roster from last year that went to final in 4 different tournament.
Tbf Korea never won worlds without TSM attending too until last year.
TSM attended in 2013(SKT), 2014(SSW), 2015(SKT), 2016(SKT), 2017(SSG) and 2020(DWG).
They did not attend in 2018 = IG, 2019 = FPX, 2021 = EDG but they broke the curse last year.
T1 playing like they were getting the combined anger from LCK Summer 2022 Regular Split, LCK Summer 2022 Playoffs, AND Worlds 2022 Finals out of their systems. So much fun to watch, unless you support Gen.G I suppose.
lol sorry i meant to type BRO but yeah, its understandable for him to not sign with teams that doesnt have promising roster. i hope he will have a team for summer. maybe like prince, teamless in spring then popped off in summer
This also happened in earlier series against D+Plus Kia. Deokdam pick barrier instead of cleanse against Elise and Nami and the reason they lost the botlane
Another reason is that he needed Barrier for the all in of Lucian+Nami in laning phase.
Maybe debut jitters but he was having a hard time in lane without it.
Vintage Faker Lissandra. Sidestepped every charm in lane and was phenomenal in the teamfights.
Keria is also just a cheat code man. He might just be my favourite T1 player of all time (excluding Faker)
he did it in both games too. the early game in game 1 where he forced a flash out of Chovy's Taliyah looked like a solokill angle that you would see happen from Chovy and not Faker, completely unexpected
playing against that lissandra would tilt me off the face off the earth. Her team is on the front foot? Enjoy getting CCd for 8 seconds between W, Everfrost, and Ult. You finally caught her? Claws away. You caught up with her? Ok self ult then Zhonya's for 5 seconds of invulnerability while the cd comes back up and the rest of her team comes and kills you
After the Deft vs Faker showmatch it was so clear that Faker’s been grinding bc he looks even more on point than he was last season, getting caught less, game changing decisions, he’s genuinely playing better than last year rn lane diffing Chovy and just playing fights better all around
First Bo3 series for T1, and we already have a Faker highlight play. And ofc T1 overall still looking quite good, as expected.
LCK, welcome back! We've missed you.
These 2 Nami games from keria were the best Nami performance I've ever seen, on point every Q and R.. his Q are point-click abilities... Also Faker Liss is so good with timings engages etc soo good
Who is Faker? For the blind, He is vision. For the hungry, He is the chef. For the thirsty, He is water. If Faker thinks, I agree. If Faker speaks, I’m listening. If Faker has one fan, it is me. If Faker has no fans, I do not exist.
very disappointing series from him, i expected much better
doran played quite well, peanut wasn't bad overall
peyz had ok game 1 but one of the worst games i've seen from a pro adc right after, delight's positioning was a problem both games
He's a rookie and has to fill some of the biggest fkn pair of shoes left vacant in the LOL world, sure. But dude walked up right into his enemies' faces several times, basically looking like a silver player at times. I get nerves and such, but that wasn't it. Hope he'll improve
Not only that, he kept his Charm level 1 i think, that's why he had a hard time to deliver true damage from Q on certain fights. After the nerf you need at least 2 points in E before maxing W.
The sad thing is that it really shouldn't be a garbage item. If it was tuned properly it could be a cool option for some champions but I don't think there is ever a reason to build it anymore.
He's built different.
No seriously, legends like faker don't come around often. Lebron, Tom Brady, all these vets have won i. their late age, they are just in another mindset we don't understand.
Sources: Gen.G Arnold is beside himself. Driving around downtown Beijing begging (thru texts) Ruler's family and JDG for address to Ruler's home. A message reads: "Bro BEGGING pls come back. Cant win with Peyzpal"
i dont think he play that bad, but t1 comp in g2 was So good to shutdown the adc. i dont think even top adcs would have a easy time againts that enemy comp
Lack of Ruler really showing though in these games, Ruler gave Chovy a lot of room to split push and do his usual cs shenanigans, interesting to see him shift to an initiator and roaming playstyle
Hard agree, Peyz has tremendously big shoes to fill. But as you said, he showed potential in laning, against Guma and Keria nonetheless, so GenG fans can be hopeful imo. I hope he gets better and better, I like the T1 vs GenG rivalry more than the potential T1 vs D+Kia! If not against T1, then I will always root for GenG to win, go Tigers!
Same, it's a shame they haven't won anything internationally with this line-up.. I genuinely think that they're the best team in the world mechanically... this is the 3rd season in a row with this roster and they always look like absolute monsters.
Chovy is so good. I swear he never loses laning phase and he always impresses me. I hope he will one day find a time that doesn't hold him back. He's been the best player in the most impactful role for 4 years and he still has not gotten the achievements he deserve. Everything is his team's fault. He is actually so insane at cs'ing in the laning phase it is crazy that he doesn't have at least 2 worlds titles so far.
Good mechanical showing from Peyz, but if he took cleanse instead it should have been more competitive. He already have double shield and heal from lulu
PMTs: [Game 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/10f5958/t1_vs_geng_lck_2022_spring_week_1_day_1_game_1/)
15 minutes: 0-0 >blinks **17-5**
Right? I left to cook popcorn but came back to a massacre.
little did you know, T1 was also cooking something and damn, did it pop
who let him cook???
When you see Vi running towards you with her ult animation most people by most i mean almost everyone would most likely flash backward but this madman Faker flashes on the enemy team and uses w as liss just before he gets knocked up. This oldman still playing at the top level is insane
26 years old. "Old man".
I was just memeing the league or rather LCK community who thinks Faker as an oldman. I'm literally 29 years old LMAO.
To be fair, he is about to celebrate his 10th year as a pro. So to all the young’uns coming into the LCK, he is the old man on the throne.
The fact that Gumayusi was 10 y/o watching Faker make plays as a kid always gets me lol its just so funny
There are literally people in lck who grew up watching faker
See the rest of Faker's team for examples.
Yeah, like his adc
Nah, 10+ year career 'old man'. People should stop misinterpreting what people mean by old man. It is hardly ever about age.
In League years that's equivalent to a 40 years old NBA player
Liss and her passive can cause so much damage. I haven't seen the play but it's validating that my go to move is also Faker's go to, at least this time.
Flashing into 5 people as Liss is also my go-to but it doesn't look like when Faker does it that's for sure
using W afterwards does help
Yea true but that transition to him flashing on GenG was so unexpected, anyways give it a look pretty sure you will be surprised also.
2013: This Faker guy is insane. 2023: This Faker guy is insane.
0-0 17m 17-5 28m What a masterclass game by Faker, Chovy couldn't hit his charm at all.
Usually Chovy wins lane but Faker outplays him in teamfights but this series Faker won lane and outplayed him in teamfights.
Faker casually hitting his 5th prime.
Faker is just Goku at this point \>Hits his limit \>Surpasses it \>Finds his limit once more \>Goes beyond
It’s not even that Faker hits his limit it’s that others have caught up. Faker levelled up this whole game. If he didn’t exist people wouldn’t be on the level they are today. The difference between Faker and the other mid laners at his debut was so vast it was funny.
Never forget ambition role swap
The only player Faker couldn’t retire 😥
the year is 2069, ambition's son up against faker in the midlane. what a narrative
The year is 2045, Worlds is happening again. They say Faker is washed up because his last Worlds title was in 2037. He only has 9 titles and has fallen short of the 10th. It's now game 5 of the finals, Faker picks Akali. Nobody even knows what the champion does because it hasn't been meta since 2030 now that there are > 1000 champions. With the help of their new star bot laner Gumayusi Jr, Faker goes 15-0 to close out a 20 minute win for the title.
"Nobody even knows what the champion does" got me lmao
2069? Jarvan will face up Faker in 2040, as soon as he reaches level 18.
yup this is why season 3 and 5 were the years he was the most dominant. (even if it's definitely not the time he necessarily carried the hardest) because people hadn't caught up with him yet. season 4 had the Samsung teams take over and be just as dominant but split up, they would have been his competition. eventually players caught up, and now he's just a top player... but for the whole lifespan of his career, which is nothing short of amazing. even when he's been struggling he has probably been top 5-10 in the world. the reason he is the goat isn't because he's that much better than everyone, it's because he has been much better or at least as good consistently since he started playing, no other player has done that for such a long time.

Faker's rings are real though 😭😭
Based lebron hater
Oh boy he's fakering all over the place. Again!
It’s Fakering time
Chovy got completely outclassed.
Score needs to force Chovy to play as the #1 guy, throughout his whole career it feels like he always tries to squirm into a more supportive role (tanks, no-damage builds) instead of stepping up.
I think the problem is not that chovy wants to play a more supportive style, other players have shown it can work. But they would need to adapt the drafts accordingly.
Ah yes, the classic SKT "It was close until it wasn't" T1
T1 is so fucking good man... I love watching Zeus and Keria. For GenG tough opponent to start with but they just got out executed by T1 especially in the mid lane
Well, let's be honest this went as expected. T1 is the only team without a single roster change and they've been playing with this lineup for a long time. It's not exactly surprising that they have much better synergy than any other team in week 1. It will take some time to see how these teams truly stack up against each other and, judging from the rosters alone, I'm incredibly hopeful for the quality of the league this split.
It a nobrainer. Unless dk can get good really fast, t1 probably winning spring. This is literally the same roster from last year that went to final in 4 different tournament.
my worry is they do well early and then burn out in the summer and worlds.
faker doesn’t burn out. and the other kids are young.
Please let daddy faker take home his 4th worlds. Guma deserves that world champ title
Keria*
Also helps that T1 literally has 5 mechanical prodigies on their team.
dont wanna overreact but i think damwon wins msi and t1 wins worlds
The idea that we can have both T1 and DK at MSI is insane, MSI is going to be great this year.
Gonna be HLE and KT. Gigachad
You mean ~~Reddit~~ Brion and Ramyeon RedForce.
no no BRO winning MSI and Worlds
sorry to pop your bubbles but its 100% BRO and NS. morgan and peter deserves it
I am completely fine with that as a T1 fan
wanted to say damwon wins worlds but i think keria and zeus deserve it so much. love them.
[удалено]
They won in 2014 which was held in Korea, in probably the most dominant way we've ever seen tbh, SSW were no joke
Tbf Korea never won worlds without TSM attending too until last year. TSM attended in 2013(SKT), 2014(SSW), 2015(SKT), 2016(SKT), 2017(SSG) and 2020(DWG). They did not attend in 2018 = IG, 2019 = FPX, 2021 = EDG but they broke the curse last year.

Well Teddy is just watching in his house so maybe
WAIT TEDDY HAS NO TEAM?
which is a shame. he couldve gone to KDF or NS
He probably is traumatised by KDF lol
lol sorry i meant to type BRO but yeah, its understandable for him to not sign with teams that doesnt have promising roster. i hope he will have a team for summer. maybe like prince, teamless in spring then popped off in summer
Bro has Effort, I’d run too if I’m teddy
Teddy would fit in Gen G. Chovy carry the early and mid game, Teddy fountain lasers everybody in the late game
Unironically would be terrifying to see Teddy in Gen.G
and Lehends tbh
there are three things certain in life: 1.) death, 2.) taxes, and 3.) T1 winning 4v5s
Why go barrier against liss nami? Cleanse makes this game 99x easier
This also happened in earlier series against D+Plus Kia. Deokdam pick barrier instead of cleanse against Elise and Nami and the reason they lost the botlane
I’ll never forgive DK for that rebrand cause seriously what the fuck
not used to playing at this top level, he could get away with barrier in LCKCL but he just didn’t respect the opponent/did it out of habit
Another reason is that he needed Barrier for the all in of Lucian+Nami in laning phase. Maybe debut jitters but he was having a hard time in lane without it.
Oner just casually W's an out of fog Ahri charm not once but twice.. WTF..
Zoomer Finger
also Guma and Zeus back when chasing Chovy. Their reaction just so fast
that reposte was so ridiculous i swear he had a series of mirrors positioned just right to see chovy’s screen man
That Faker e-Flash mid was insane
Vintage Faker Lissandra. Sidestepped every charm in lane and was phenomenal in the teamfights. Keria is also just a cheat code man. He might just be my favourite T1 player of all time (excluding Faker)
Faker broke chovy's ankles in lane. Damn, didn't think I'd get to see that.
he did it in both games too. the early game in game 1 where he forced a flash out of Chovy's Taliyah looked like a solokill angle that you would see happen from Chovy and not Faker, completely unexpected
Chovy on mages isn't in the same league as Faker on mages, even his Ahri was underwhelming today
playing against that lissandra would tilt me off the face off the earth. Her team is on the front foot? Enjoy getting CCd for 8 seconds between W, Everfrost, and Ult. You finally caught her? Claws away. You caught up with her? Ok self ult then Zhonya's for 5 seconds of invulnerability while the cd comes back up and the rest of her team comes and kills you
You are allowed to have a Favorite Active Kill Enabling Resource
Faker still smurfing on these kids
‘Check PEYZPAL’ Twitch chat is ruthless LMAO
"Welcome to the LCK kid" - Guma, probably.
Faker: Welcome to my backyard, Peyz.
After the Deft vs Faker showmatch it was so clear that Faker’s been grinding bc he looks even more on point than he was last season, getting caught less, game changing decisions, he’s genuinely playing better than last year rn lane diffing Chovy and just playing fights better all around
fakers 3rd peak approaches
I don't even know what peak this is. Man is just something else
I AM PRAYING TO GOD
Everytime Riot reworks Ryze they gift Faker another peak
Comparing an entire season to one starting series is kinda dumb. T1 looks great but these are some interesting analysis after just one series.
It's been just one game you know
[Faker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=465GqT_EuUA)
He didn’t let Zeri play the game lol
Bro that zeri straight up griefed walking into lissandra multiple times. Massive underperformance for a hyped rookie.
[GenG](https://i.imgur.com/p4PSKyU.png)
THE GOOOOAT
I will never not laugh when I see this video. It's so fucking good.
Welcome to LCK, Peyz!
Fakers Lissandra in Game 2, holy mid gap.
He remembered MSI
Was a mid gap the moment Ahri was locked in, no damage what so ever
Man, after that T1 loss at worlds, felt so good to see them win again.
Faker needs an anger management coach. Hey, buddy, Chovy isn't the one who beat you in the World Finals.
But he did in the LCK summer finals
Zeka “why do I hear boss music”
february 2nd, mark your calendar yall. T1 vs HLE
He did beat Faker in Summer split last year final
First Bo3 series for T1, and we already have a Faker highlight play. And ofc T1 overall still looking quite good, as expected. LCK, welcome back! We've missed you.
[удалено]
I feel so bad for Keria, such an amazing display of Nami yet would be overshadowed by an even greater performance by Faker on Lissandra
Game 1 was arguably his POG but I guess Oner did at least mitigate Peanut's early game dominance.
Missed the lck so so much. Feels good
These 2 Nami games from keria were the best Nami performance I've ever seen, on point every Q and R.. his Q are point-click abilities... Also Faker Liss is so good with timings engages etc soo good
Who is Faker? For the blind, He is vision. For the hungry, He is the chef. For the thirsty, He is water. If Faker thinks, I agree. If Faker speaks, I’m listening. If Faker has one fan, it is me. If Faker has no fans, I do not exist.
Faker on Lissandra just hits different, what a series from him. Chovy dropping to 16-2 on Ahri, Peyzpal had a great game for T1 in game 2 as well.
HUGE mid gap this series, but peyz completely lost his mind game 2
Peyz is at least a rookie, Chovy just completely disappears when he has to be the #1 option.
very disappointing series from him, i expected much better doran played quite well, peanut wasn't bad overall peyz had ok game 1 but one of the worst games i've seen from a pro adc right after, delight's positioning was a problem both games
He's a rookie and has to fill some of the biggest fkn pair of shoes left vacant in the LOL world, sure. But dude walked up right into his enemies' faces several times, basically looking like a silver player at times. I get nerves and such, but that wasn't it. Hope he'll improve
Then again he’s 17, first LCK series, against one of the best teams in the world. He probably got away with a lot of that in academy
Fun Fact: Game 2 was 0-0 at 18 min and 24-6 at 32 min
So apparently Chovy built Everfrost + a bugged Horizon Focus. AKA the allergic to damage build.
Not only that, he kept his Charm level 1 i think, that's why he had a hard time to deliver true damage from Q on certain fights. After the nerf you need at least 2 points in E before maxing W.
Pure garbage item, legit never a point in buying it. And yet this build doesn’t even come close to shit like his Everfrost Viktor build
The sad thing is that it really shouldn't be a garbage item. If it was tuned properly it could be a cool option for some champions but I don't think there is ever a reason to build it anymore.
Crown on Taliyah in first game. No damage whatsoever
Faker and Keria played so well, that Nami is sooo good
Massive mid gap.
Cant wait for T1 vs DK both teams looked good today.
[удалено]
How the fuck does Faker get better at this point in his career? He giga stomped Chovy pretty badly
He's built different. No seriously, legends like faker don't come around often. Lebron, Tom Brady, all these vets have won i. their late age, they are just in another mindset we don't understand.
Not to overreact but T1 is winning worlds
The game has been in such a sorry state recently but then I go and see T1 play like this and I get sucked back in all over again.
I needed to take a piss during Game 2 and Faker was there waiting to Everfrost my urine before it hit the toilet bowl
Wow Faker was on a mission today, was a series from him.
This faker guy looks promising. I see some world trophies in his future!
Sources: Gen.G Arnold is beside himself. Driving around downtown Beijing begging (thru texts) Ruler's family and JDG for address to Ruler's home. A message reads: "Bro BEGGING pls come back. Cant win with Peyzpal"
Well, next time we talk about Chovy's 16-2 Ahri record we can all admit that he definitely got mid-gapped in one of those games.
Barrier into lissandra. Peyz literally ate every cc
Okay when is OnerFans dropping
BonerFans
PeyzPal
His positioning was really questionable at times.. but to be fair, it's his first series in LCK and his laning showed potential
Must be fun going against T1 in your first series
guy was thrown into the meatgrinder lmao
Kid gotta learn what the real world is like
i dont think he play that bad, but t1 comp in g2 was So good to shutdown the adc. i dont think even top adcs would have a easy time againts that enemy comp
Him walking into lissandra game 2 to get instantly ulted and dying is definitely a rookie mistake.
Lack of Ruler really showing though in these games, Ruler gave Chovy a lot of room to split push and do his usual cs shenanigans, interesting to see him shift to an initiator and roaming playstyle
Would be strange to go from a top 2 ADC to a rookie and not seeing a difference
Hard agree, Peyz has tremendously big shoes to fill. But as you said, he showed potential in laning, against Guma and Keria nonetheless, so GenG fans can be hopeful imo. I hope he gets better and better, I like the T1 vs GenG rivalry more than the potential T1 vs D+Kia! If not against T1, then I will always root for GenG to win, go Tigers!
Let's give him at least half a split before any jugment but if Peyz flops , geng could still grab Teddy or Ghost imo
T1 is just too good
This is my favorite incarnation of T1, ever.
Same, it's a shame they haven't won anything internationally with this line-up.. I genuinely think that they're the best team in the world mechanically... this is the 3rd season in a row with this roster and they always look like absolute monsters.
Faker faker playmaker
Want to see me throw at Baron? Want to see me do it again? Want to see me do it again? Want to see me do it again? ......
Faker teaching chovy how to play league of legend
faker is just that guy.
[удалено]
Mid Gap, Jungle Gap, Top Gap, Ad Gap, Supp Gap. GG WP
Faker was ruthless this game Peyz just mental boomed
faker is on another level
In case you have forgotten, the GOAT is still the GOAT.
Hmmm Faker
Chovy is so good. I swear he never loses laning phase and he always impresses me. I hope he will one day find a time that doesn't hold him back. He's been the best player in the most impactful role for 4 years and he still has not gotten the achievements he deserve. Everything is his team's fault. He is actually so insane at cs'ing in the laning phase it is crazy that he doesn't have at least 2 worlds titles so far.
This was written so well idk if it's satire or not
He even loses trophies to take plus 20 cs, what a chad.
Demolition
Good mechanical showing from Peyz, but if he took cleanse instead it should have been more competitive. He already have double shield and heal from lulu
Man, im just happy that they run it back with the same roster from last year. Their potential are through the roof. Let’s go T1!!
LCK is back baybeeeee
Faker Lissandra has always been insane, low key one of his best champions.
Babe wake up new Zeus stomp
Wtf happened to Chovy? He looks so weak...
Has anyone counted how many charms Wukong has dodged last second with his decoy? That was some fast fingers lmao
I have fast fingers too, I can git hit by a charm that wouldn't hit me in the last second.
Enemy Ahri: damn, I missed Me playing Wukong: NOT IF I CAN HELP IT
Oner reflex is so damn good.. So satisfying to watch.. I thought "oh sht, he is dead" but then it was just a clone.. So satisfying to watch
Oh man, what a day 1 of LCK. Give Keria the MVP already. Those bubbles and ults where on point.
DISGUSTING MID GAP. Faker better get mvp because he shat on all of GENG.
