For those out of the loop, this organization was 1 game away from not being at worlds, and they had to face a team they have not beat in a Bo5 for almost 18 months (GenG) to beating the tournament favorites BLG. Just an unprecedented run with Faker making magic happen in Games 4 and 5 with a well deserved finals MVP.
I think the most amazing part of all of this is how unphased and unsurprised I am reading that headline. I haven’t followed LoL closely for a couple years now, but I was a die-hard fan from 2011-2021ish. Off the headline alone I was like “oh neat. I bet Faker pulled some absolutely inhuman shit to pull them to another worlds title”. Faker is just so absurdly good that I can believe any team that has him on it has the ability to win worlds
He played amazingly well, but so did everyone else on his team this tournament, Keria also had a highlight tournament with game winning plays, but Faker definitely stole the show with his Sylas in Game 4.
I wish you were a die-hard fan for one more year haha, 2022 was still the best World Championship ever in League, and I doubt it will ever be topped
I actually did watch a chunk of 2022 worlds! 2011-2020 I was watching every NA game, about 50% of EU, vods for a handful of other regions (CN, SK, BR, SA, OCE (never forget ;_;)), PLT/GLTS, and playoffs for every region. These days, I do still try to tune in for worlds. Some years it has only been finals, some years it has been all of main-stage. Just don't have the time or passion for it the way I use to.
