The Story of Faker: The Greatest of All Time

There is no argument that Faker is the greatest player to ever touch a mouse and keyboard in League of Legends. Through thick and thin, Faker has proven his dominance. From his days playing Chaos Online, his upset at MSI 2015, and his back-to-back World Championship wins, there is a lot to say about Faker and how he came to be. With SKT T1 fighting for another win at MSI 2017, we take a look at the G.O.A.T and how he carved his path as a professional League of Legends player.

Faker is legit the main protagonist of League, if it was an anime.

[Monke-fjqz]

I swear hearing Faker's backstory makes me think that he was literally born to be this great.

[xstrotv]

The real MVP was his father, despite being a single parent he still believed in Faker

[hjupi]

Please never delete this video, Faker is a legend and will always be my legend.

"When your team win without you, the usual happiness isn't there"-Faker
So true

If Faker has a son: *Uncovers a shitload of awards and trophies in the attic*
"Dad who's Faker?"
"Faker..?Haven't heard that name in years"

I don't even play LoL but I have mad respect for faker.

[xrrer]

In short:

This guy won alot

lost a few

And then won a lot more

[InkWavve]

It's so incredible for one human being to be so utterly dominant at one thing, so indisputably above millions of others, that literally every single serious commentator just agree that he is GOAT. Every "Top 10" list goes up to #2, and they're like "well, you all know who's number one." This kind of unanimous, unimpeachable dominance by a single party is almost nonexistent any field.

Yo why am I getting chills? I don't even know what the hell is going on

[kurce]

i dont play LOL, i dont even watch LOL but somehow i know the name FAKER.

[kzzfgfl]

Faker's grandmother played LOL with him until midnight and also gave advice to him. His grandmother is the real MVP

[SakataSamig]

He learned a lot from losing MSI and missing out Worlds. Worlds without Faker is nothing... The saddest moment in LoL history will be when Faker retires. So its best to enjoy now.

[Josh-bwqi]

The video was great but I don't know about 'the story of Faker', it was more like 'the story of SKT'. Would have loved to see more about Faker himself, becoming solo q god, getting the offer to join a pro team, the transition into pro life, seeing more of his individual outplays and hearing the comments from casters about how great he is personally etc. To each their own though, that's just me.

[SalmonKid]

Holy shit this is like a documentary, amazing work

[sej]

6 Years ago… and He’s back in Finals again 2 days from now. Truly the Goat.

[mutsuhanma]

Faker is the Micheal Jordan of League of Legends

[josevitovillacorta]

im a dota player who knows nothing about league but damn i can see that this guys is good

[gg-prjq]

This is Gold .. And when all of of us become much older and hear our grandson/daughter speaking of the game itself, we could say " Let me tell you a story you little noob, Long ago .. " ( Dramatic music playing) 3 years ago now look what had become of skt smh

[UknowJow]

I respect Faker. He’s human, he’s competitive, and he’s so humble.
