Legend says ryu still has that face after that outplay

[habbito]

I still remember the first day I saw this. I was, and still, shocked. This is just a play that can't be repeated, ever.

[jasondo]

impact: do you need help

faker: no no watch this

[casefarley]

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.

[cheekynative]

As a DOTA player, I never really understood just how insanely intricate that play was until I watched this. I have newfound respect for the skill levels of League pro's

[JackOfAllTradesErik]

And since that day Ryu has been tilted beyond belief.

[domaago]

Dude I don't know if he did something unbelievably good or just smashed buttons and got away with it. Wtf. That was awesome

[batman]

the best play ever from the best player ever

Who came here after that Galaxy Slayer Zed Special Interactions?

[TheJWElite]

If you watch the full clip and look at the minimap, you can see Faker killing himself on the tower a few seconds after.

roses are red

omae wa mo shindeiru

[ryandumas]

I still get goosebumps everytime I watch that. No matter how many times I've seen it.

[hrisimirpopov]

He didn't throw a shadow upwards at 4:05, that's what Zed's ult did back then, you ult someone and it places a shadow behind them. Ryu had used his W earlier when initiating.

[IlCremo]

OHW! LOOK AT THE CLEANSE!! LOOK AT THE MOVES! FAKER?! WHAT WAS THAAAT!!

[Adauchii]

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

[NotXyl]

Skt judgement day. Doa and montecristo (rotations). Hype intros (they still do it but not as good as hot6 days). It felt like yesterday but so many years and seasons already passed. Man, those were the good old days.

[kingjosephalzate]

I just realized that faker is the only player who stays in SKT T1

[thatoneperuvian]

i would just want to hear the team coms during this

[krissvector]

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-yddu]

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
